Aug-13-04   TheGreatNN: Young? I was over 200 years old then. But thank you! This came as a relief after getting my ass kicked so much by Greco.

  An Englishman: Good Morning: Amazing! None other than The Great NN was the one who taught Philidor the importance of pawn play! You must be very proud of yourself--and rightly so.
Jan-09-05   oxxo: three cheers for the NN! hip hip..
Jan-31-05   GreenDayGuy: <oxxo> Hooray! Absolutely brilliant.
Aug-20-06   syracrophy: After 45.Kd2 Qf4+ and it's curtains down...

<TheGreatNN> LOL

Oct-04-06   gauer: Philidor vs NN, 1790 Looks like one of these two got their revenge. I wonder which was played first, and if NN had a dual identity vs Philidor.
Mar-01-07   Themofro: Why did Philidor trade queens? You'd think that as strong a player as Philidor would realize that 3 connected, unnoposed passed pawns would have been much stronger than his knight. Good game by NN though.
Jan-29-08   HNP: Sorry to disappoint you NN fans, but I'm sure Philidor was Black in this game! Or else NN is doing a remarkable impersonation of Philidor, the great marshall of pawn phalanxes.

In the game, White (whoever it is) could have tried 30.Nf3 but after 30...Rxg6 31.Bxf6 Bg4 he still loses. Best was 30.Rxg2 Rxg2+ 31.Rxg2 hxg2 32. Kxg2 Rh3 33. Nb1 Re3 34.Kf2 Re7 35. Na3 and Black still has work to do.

  Open Defence: even then I hope Cg.com does not change it after all NN deserves a win
