Dec-17-04		Knight13: From this game, it looks like Gunsberg is much stronger than Steinitz. 4. dxe5 is not good. 7. Bb5+ is a waste. 14. e4 is also not good. I guess Steinitz wasn't playing well or not paying attention.

Mar-20-08		Whitehat1963: Gunsberg obliterates the champion behind a barrage of discovered check threats.

Dec-05-08		AnalyzeThis: With this game, he actually took the lead in the match.
