Feb-05-04		Whitehat1963: Ooops!!

Feb-05-04		blunder maker: Even Master will makes this mistake.

Feb-05-04		capanegra: I read somewhere that Chigorin was famous not only because of his romantic style, but also because of his occasional incredible blunders. No need to cite one last and crucial game he played and lost childishly in some championship in 1892.

Dec-18-05		chesscrazy: If 10.exf5 then 10...e4 and if white moves his knight then 11.exd3 wins the queen. White is already lost after 9...Bxf5!

Mar-27-08		2021: White was already lost before 13.Qb5, so it wasn't the losing move.

Jul-19-08		Bob726: Art of attack in chess has the game listed in the year 1906, not 1905.

Jul-20-08		Lutwidge: Chigorin seemed to get busted in the opening more often than most masters of his rank. Like his game against Janowski in the 1895 Hastings tournament.

Oct-22-08		jazzy: Sorry, I may have missed something here but why does white lose after 14. Kxf2?

Oct-22-08		Pesach: 14...Qxb5

Oct-23-08		jazzy: <Pesach: 14...Qxb5> ahh thanks!

Aug-18-09		daladno: Mikhail Chigorin, a fine example of Great and Mysterious Russian soul:) almost World Champion making so pathetic blunders - how human it is, in fact.
