| Father Karras: I got a shock when I saw this game. Years ago I bought a chess book in Indonesia that gave this game as being played by Karpov-Korchnoi! I've been going through their game collection and found it odd such a beautiful game was missing. Now I know why! Sheesh. Indonesian chess books... |

| Whitehat1963: What a phenomenal puzzle this would make after 15...Bd7. But who, who had not already seen this game, could solve it? |

| McCool: Black's job in this game seems to be helping his opponent find brilliances. And White is most obliging.
After 8. g5, White has good play for his sacrifices pawn, but it is questionable whether he would have enough after the indicated developing move 8...c6 - which, would have prevented the following attack. Instead he plays 8...h6? which just leads white to do what he wants anyway. The scoresheet should read 19.Bxd6# by the way. |

| Old Woodpusher: This game made a great impression on me when I first read it.
Maybe it was the game, or maybe it was also the story of the Old Master's struggle to produce a brilliancy & the mental turmoil that went with it.
I've had many mental turmoils, but no brilliancies !
Such a tragedy that Charousek didn't live long enough to fulfil his potential. |

| Manic: I remember reading a story about Charousek in a beginner's chess book in year 5. Of course this was the game that was annotated in the book. An amazing game by Charousek. It is tragic that he was struck down by disease at such a young age, especially when it seemed that he was destined for great things following his victory over Lasker. |

| the idiot prince: This game and many others are in Philip Sergeant's "Charousek's games of chess" printed by Dover in 1989. This is game 92. It is wonderful isn't it! |

| GrahamClayton: <m0rphy>What I noticed about Charousek was the number of aggressive King's Gambits he played, despite living and playing at a time when it was starting to be played out amongst the top tournament players because of all the effective defences for Black that had been recently found by the more scientifically oriented players. <m0rphy>At the Nuremberg tournament in 1896, Charousek play attacking gambits for all of the 9 games that he had with the White pieces. They included the Evans Gambit, Scotch Gambit, and 7 King's Gambits, including 3 of the Bishop's Gambiys. |

| shakespeare: I do not understand this pun - or better I understand it in a german way: In east german slang a "broiler" is a grilled chicken - though I am sure Wollner felt like one :-) |

| AccDrag: To charbroil is a means of cooking by placing meat, fish, or vegetables on a flat, horizontally-lined surface. The steel grid-like lines are then heated by a fire below, which then creates the burned "lines" on a steak's surface. |

| Gouvaneur: Haha, nice one, Qd8+!!  |
|

| Big Easy: Nice. This is one of those games where a move is played to prevent a particular move by the opponent, only to have them play it anyway. After white plays 16. Rae1, the obvious threat is 17. Qe8+. Black plays 16. ...Nc6, thinking that the threat was parried by clearing the back rank for his rook, only to see white play 17. Qe8+ anyway. |

| chillowack: Inspiring and beautiful game, played in true gambit style! |

| blair45: Someone once told me that the "Old Master" was a tip of the hat to Frank Marshall. Seems ironic that the cocky youth, in real life, was an American, Bobby Fischer. |
