Jan-10-06   morpstau: Yes i have a comment, whats up with 5.e5? this throws the reckless game to the hands of black. White is overun within 10 moves.
Dec-02-06   thegoodanarchist: According to GM Suetin, in his book "Modern Chess Opening Theory", "play based on tempting but positionally unjustified combinations was rebuffed by the genius of Paul Morphy, who worked out the principles of open positions"
Apr-02-07   wolfmaster: Good Tuesday Puzzle.
Sep-21-07   Morphyisgod: i think whites loss is due to his extremly weak white squares on the f1-a6 diagnol
