Dec-10-04		Zembla: A nice straightforward Evans Gambit by Morphy. 21...Kb7 might have been a little better for black.

Dec-10-04		Pawn Ambush: What after 24...ab5?

Dec-10-04		Minor Piece Activity: 24...axb5 25. Rxg7+ Kc8 26. Rc7+ Kb8 [Kd8? Bf4+) 27. Rxh7+ Kc8 wins I think. Just a windmill.

Dec-18-04		Pawn Ambush: Yeah!! I over looked 26...Kd8; 27.Bf4! MPA Thanks

Aug-24-05		Agent Bouncy: Does anyone know where this game was played? New Orleans? Havana?

Aug-24-05		sneaky pete: Havana, February 16, 1864.

Aug-25-05		RookFile: The ugly looking 12... Qd7 looks like a tough nut to crack. The defensive threat is.... Na5. So, White goes 13. Ng5, forcing ... Nd8. Now 14. Rad1 and black plays ...Ne6.

Aug-25-05		sneaky pete: <RookFile> 12... Qd7 13.Ng5 Nd8 14.Rad1 Ne6 15.Bxe6 fxe6 16.Nb5 .. (Cafferty & Harding) is very unpleasant for black.

Nov-25-05		aw1988: Morphy vs C Stanley, 1857

Jan-24-06		ketchuplover: Does anyone else like 17Qxd7 ? Not that it matters. A win's a win :) I wonder if he considered it?

Jan-25-06		Boomie: I'd love to see Morphy at the Amber blindfold. Any guesses on how well he'd do?

Mar-25-09		WhiteRook48: 26 Re7+. I almost forgot the discovered check

Apr-08-09		heuristic: 12...Qd7 is the best reply and 13.Rae1 Na5 14.Qb5 Qxb5 15.Bxb5+ is better than 13.Bb5 a6 14.Bxc6 Qxc6 which is better than 13.Ng5 Na5 14.Bxf7+ Kd8 (13...Nd8? 14.Rad1 Ne6 and 15.Nf3 seems more forcing than 15.Bxe6) 22.Nxc7 a5 23.Ne8 Nd5 24.Rxd5 Rxe8

Jun-21-12		Llawdogg: A blindfold simul while chatting. Incredible.

Jun-21-12		LoveThatJoker: <Llawdogg> Good job commenting on this game. This is a masterpiece! LTJ
