Jun-22-02		Sneaky: How did Schlechter find a way to sacrifice brilliantly in so many games?

Dec-07-03		InspiredByMorphy: My jaw dropped after watching this game! Schlecter played visciously! I like how he continued to attack the king.

Dec-08-03		Calli: Is 16...exf4 17.e5 Rg8 a clear win?

Dec-08-03		InspiredByMorphy: 18. exd6+ Kd7 19. Qxh7 Bh3 20. g3 Bxf1 21. Kxf1 Rh8 22. Qxf4 Rxh2 23. Kg1 Qh8 and agreed blacks got it better. Good eye Calli!

Dec-08-03		InspiredByMorphy: Even 21.Rxf1 still leaves black with a better game.

Dec-08-03		technical draw: Wait a minute. If 16...exf4 17.e5 Rg8 then white wins with 18.Qf6+.

Dec-08-03		Calli: <TD> Couldn't find anything decisive after [16...exf4 17.e5 Rg8 18.Qf6+ Ke8 19.Ne4 Qxf6 20.Nxf6+ Kf8 21.Rxd6 Rg6 22.Rfd1 Ke7]

Dec-08-03		technical draw: <Calli> Not 19.Ne4, check 19.Rxd6.

Dec-08-03		Calli: 19.Rxd6 Qxf6 20.exf6 Rd8 looks okay for Black.

Dec-08-03		AgentRgent: Calli what about: 16...exf4 17.e5 Rg8 18.Qf6+ Ke8 19.Ne4 Qxf6 20.Nxf6+ Kf8 and now 21.exd6 Rg6 22. Nh5 f3 23. Nf4 Rf6 24. Nxe6+

Dec-08-03		Calli: 24...Rxe6 and White has a small edge, but it looks drawish to me.

Jul-09-04		vonKrolock: this game reminds me of that days (not so remote) in which we had to found all our information about Chess in books, magazines or newapapers - when i searched for games of that period, and the material had not indexes,i had to leaf through thousands of pages, to find a couple of games or a few diagrams whith problems - this specific game i found in the personal library of M. de Haro, whith analisis from an argentinian and a curious remark that the winner, Schlechter was "The Haydn of Chess" - that was somewhat a happy trouvaille: when i see Schlechter games ii always reminds me of some passage from a Haydn work (this game is an exception - i hear "Radetzky-March", from Strauss ... )

Jul-09-04		Gypsy: Schlechter ~ Hayden, most interesting <vonKrolock>. Btw, somewhere in the cobwebs of my memory is that the "Parade March Radetzky" goes with the name Kmoch. Check me on the that.

Jul-10-04		vonKrolock: <Gypsy> i think that writer was referring to some combined qualities of alacrity, agility and freshness found in Haydn Sinfonie's Allegros, compared to Schlechter's attacking play - <the "Parade March Radetzky" goes with the name Kmoch. Check me on the that.> interesting, but a quick google search shows nothing - i'm curious...

Nov-01-04		Gowe: If 16.exf4 17.e5 Rg8 18.Qf6+ Kf8 19.Ne4 Qxf6 20.Nxf6+ f8 21.Rxd6 and white has a very strong position and also can double the rock and it's an easy winning game. Because white has a very nice knight on f6 without black with the possibility of removing it but only with the rock.

Nov-01-04		ForeverYoung: Nice game by the mighty Schlechter! He somehow got a rep for drawing, but this guy played some very nice attacking games!

Sep-27-07		RookFile: This thing looks like a class B player getting crushed in a simul.

Mar-06-08		Gypsy: <vonKrolock> I was wrong. Must have misinterpretted incorectly something I had heard once. Radetsky march does go with Strauss.

Mar-06-08		vonKrolock: <Gypsy> Franti�ek Kmoch, from Z�smuky-Kol�n, the great Czech composer and conductor... Well, he made also a lot of bravurous marches!

Jun-20-09		vonKrolock: <i hear "Radetzky-March", from Strauss> Well, there's a recording from 1896 <!!> online... How they heard this even before this game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jug_...

Jun-20-09		Marmot PFL: <RookFile> Steinitz was not well and died about a year later.

Jul-07-09		vonKrolock: Two Years later - and in Cologne he was clear fifth with +8 =3 -4, still ahead of eleven players (inclusive Schlechter) http://www.schachbund.de/chronik/me...

Jun-24-11		perfidious: The New Jersey player Michael Goeller provides this game, with some interesting notes, here: http://www.kenilworthchessclub.org/...

Jun-08-13		Karpova: On page 138 of the 1898 'Wiener Schachzeitung', <14...Bd7> is suggested instead of 14...Bd6 After 14...Bd7 click for larger view with 15.Qxg7 Bf6 (planning Qe7 and 0-0-0) or 15.Qxe5 0-0
