Sep-14-04  Knight13: White's developement is beautiful! While black is killing off unuseful pieces.

  offramp: Thanks for pointing this out.
There is a very unusual double-rook-sacrifice in the comments to Kasparov vs Anand, 1999.
Sep-16-04  Knight13: 14. Kd3?? What a blunder. On move 14, the black queen should move.

  offramp: Why am I not on your list of favoutite kibitzers? Is there something wrong with me?
Sep-16-04  Lawrence: <offramp>, nothing wrong with you at all, you're certainly one of my favoutites. :-)
Sep-16-04  Knight13: <offramp> I don't see you around much so I don't know much about you.

  offramp: I insist on a recount!
Nov-18-04  Knight13: Two Bad Moves: 7... Kd8? and 14... Kc8??.

It's been a white that I haven't kibitzed here. Anyway I just can't forget about this game!

Feb-28-07  Timothy Glenn Forney: One of the funniest and entertaining games I've ever seen!Two drunk kings.
Aug-05-08  Trigonometrist: The Mate:

23... Nf6
24.Qxf6+ Kg8
25.Be6#

A longer but a more beautiful version:

24.Bxf6+ Kh6
25.Bxh8+ Kh5
26.Bg6+ hxg6
27.Qh3#

OR

26.Bg6+ Kh4
27.g3#

Feb-23-10  whiteshark: <21.Bxd6+ Kf6 22.Qxf8#> would have been more quickly.
Feb-23-10  whiteshark: and <13...d5+! 14.Kd3 Bd6 15.c3 Nf6 16.Bd2 Ne4 17.Be1 Qg4> would have kept the balance.

  perfidious: A bizarre game, even for this crazy line, which features White's king floating about the centre.
Dec-21-12  DanielBryant: The mechanism of the double rook sacrifice is actually not all that different from the Immortal Game.

  Fusilli: <whiteshark> Yes, 13...d5+ was absolutely needed there, and black had to focus on development. He was way too greedy, or careless.
Mar-23-20  Cheapo by the Dozen: Both kings wander at length.

Three of the four castles in the game are sacrificed.

I shall submit this game as HOMELESS KINGS.

Mar-23-20  20MovesAhead: Inspired by Anderssen's immortal partie

  Honza Cervenka: 13...Qe1+ was a blunder. 13...d5+ and next Bd6 covering the Nb8 was necessary.

  Teyss: These 19th century games, always full of sound and fury.

Anyone understands the "Students" part of the pun? Dean Ippolito was 20 at the time of the game but he was already playing for more than four years. Tim P Wall was 32 so he wasn't younger. Students climb over the university Wall at night? I give up.

Dec-19-24  belgradegambit: When Dean was in college he was such a strong player that Chess Life dubbed him Dean “The Destroyer “ Ippolito.
