| Dillinger: * was an early chess computer developed by Japanese engineers held POW in California during WWII. Also known as the blunder-bot, the technology behind * was blamed for generating the tactical decision to bomb Pearl Harbor... |

| TrueFiendish: Does that just sound like a tall story or is it supposed to actually be one? :-) |

| Benjamin Lau: In computer systems, like DOS, * can be used to mean "wild" or "anything" so maybe * is another form of NN, meaning basically no one knows who the person is. |

| Dillinger: Probably an instructional game with goat moves for black. Look at Steiner's picture though, he's horribly bored. |

| InspiredByMorphy: 12. ...c6 13.dxe5+ Ke6 is better. |

| soberknight: <InspiredByMorphy> Maybe 11...c6 is even better. In your variation, Black loses time by moving his king to d6 then back to e6. |

| zb2cr: <InspiredByMorphy>, Not sure about your idea. 14 g4 looks strong in response, threatening mate. I see 3 defenses:
a. 14 ...  xe5; 15  e2+, d6 ( if 15 ... d4; 16  e3+, e4; 17 c5# ); 16 f4+, d7; 17  e1, e7; 18 xe7+, xe7; 19 xe7+, d8; 20 xc7#.} c. (14 ... cxd5; 15 f5+, e7; 16 g5+, e8; 17 b5+, d7; 18 e6! looks like it settles Black's hash. Th e only way I see out of mate for Black is 18 ... f6; 19 exd7+ and now he loses his Queen. c. 14 ... g6; 15 e2! looks promising for White, although I haven't worked this out yet. |

| RonB52734: I had the black pieces today against a young fellow rated about 120 USCF higher than me. We played this game through and including 12...exd4. At that point, my opponent played 13.Re1 and I held on to win. Chessmaster 9000 likes 13.b4 best, giving it a +3.41 after about 10 minutes. It rates Steiner's 13.Bf4+ and my opponent's 13.Re1 both at about +1.00. |

| AbhinavAsthana: What about 11.Bxd5+! In case 11...Kd6 12.Ne4+ Kd7/Ke7 13.Qf7#
If 11...Ke7 then 12. Qf7+ Kd6 13.Ne4#
Isn't it?

| TheaN: Was thinking that, but after either 11....Kd7 White has close to nothing, but after 11....Kd6 12.Ne4†?, 12....Kxd5 seems to hold just fine. But even 11....Kd6 12.Ne4† Kd7?! 13.Qf7†? Qe7  , and White seems not to have any resources against the King on d7. |

| thebribri8: It is always nice to wake up in the morning, have some coffee, listen to the radio, and watch NN get beaten to a pulp. |
