Sep-03-03		AgentRgent: Here Black refuses Evans Gambit and offers one of his own!

Sep-03-03		Honza Cervenka: This line is not good for white, but Steinitz used it several times during his match with Serafino Dubois.

Jan-21-07		Rubenus: Why not 6. Bxf7+, gaining two pawns and an attack for the piece?

Jan-21-07		korger: Wow, Lasker being rolled over in the mud by a virtually unknown player... This was a simul, wasn't it?

Jan-21-07		WarmasterKron: Lasker evidently had hard times, especially as he should have had great expectations following his opponent's odd decline of the Evans. For the Black player and for Lasker respectively, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. When Lasker returned home, it must have seemed a bleak house and one can only imagine him replaying the game in his mind and thinking "Bah, humbug!".

Mar-20-10		BobCrisp: What the Dickens? http://www.urbandictionary.com/defi...

Dec-24-10		sevenseaman: If there was any doubt of his celebrity connection on the name count, F Dickens ought have settled it by beating the top chess player in the game's history.
