Sep-05-04		Knight13: Nice attacks for Black!

Jun-09-05		Jaymthetactician: Nice attacks for Black! How can you say that! Atwood was a patzer.

Jun-09-05		InspiredByMorphy: <Jaym> <Atwood was a patzer.> Patzer eh?! G Atwood vs Philidor, 1801

Jun-09-05		hintza: LOL! That is the best possible game link you could ever give to someone who bangs on about Philidor all the time! :-)

Jun-10-05		Jaymthetactician: Actually, I'm Philidor on the queenalice site, and have a Philidor picture on my chess.ac site!

Jun-13-05		InspiredByMorphy: <Jaym> In your first game , white made a viscous blunder with 9.h3? while still in the opening. In your second game black should have played 5. ...Be7 instead of 5. ...Bc5? which does nothing but sit behind a pawn which obstructs its diagonal for the remainder of the game. 5. ...Be7 would have prevented black from having to play ...Be7 at a later point anyhow. For example 14. ...Be7 15.h3 g6 equalizes. Look at the main line for black. It recommends 4. ...Be6 followed by 5. ...f6 Opening Explorer

Feb-02-08		wolfmaster: <JayM> Atwood was not a patzer, he was able to defeat Philidor. Anand occasionally blunders, but do you call him a patzer?

Jul-26-09		just a kid: Sheer diaster for White.Makes you think why NN would play the king's gambit.

Jul-26-09		Steven87: <just a kid> No one can "know" they'll be an NN when the game starts!

Jul-26-09		just a kid: <steven47>True...

Jul-26-09		crwynn: 18...Qf2?? 19.Re1+?? Good Lord what kind of game were they playing back then?
