Oct-19-02		Honza Cervenka: 15.Bxh6 was very unpleasant surprise for Anderssen. It seems to be absolutely correct.

Oct-19-02		Danilomagalhaes: Couldn´t black defense with 15...gxh6? It´s a big menace from white, but correct me if I´m wrong. See this continuation: 15... gxh6, Qxh6, Rxe1+, Rxe1, Qf4, Ng5, Qh2+, Kf1, Qh1+, Ke2, Bg4+, Nf3, Bxf3+, Kd2, Qxg2, Qxf6, Qxf2+, Re2, Qg3, Re3, Bf4, Bh7+, Kxh7, Qxf7+, Kh8, Qf6+, Kg8, Qe6+, Kg7, Qd7+, Kh8, Ne2, Bxe2, Qe6, Bxe3+, Qxe3, Qxe3+, Kxe3, Re8+, Kd2, Kg7, h4, Kf6, c3, Kf5, b3... And black is well better!!! Am I wrong with the white moves???

Oct-20-02		pferd: Dan: 15...gxh6 16.Qxh6 Rxe1+ 17.Rxe1 Qf4 leads to: 18.Re8+ Nxe8 19.Qh7+ Kf8 20.Qh8+ Ke7 21.Nd5+ Kd8 22.Nxf4 Qh4+ or 21...Kd7 22.Nxf4 Bxf4 23.Bf5+ Kc7 24.Qxe8 or 23...Ke7 24.Qh4+ Kf6 25.Bxc8

Oct-20-02		Sneaky: A few games later in the same match Ignatz played into the same line, only tried 10.c4 instead of 10.Nc3. Adolf won in the ending. I find it somewhat surprising that he would switch strategies like that after doing so well with 10.Nc3; but he probably knew that Anderssen had studied his loss and was well prepared for a repeat of the same line. Kolisch vs Adolf Anderssen, 1861

Oct-20-02		Danilomagalhaes: I guess white played well after 11th move.
