Feb-28-03		ughaibu: Another exciting and surprising Anderssen game, from his early days.

Jul-27-04		aw1988: Amazing game.

Jan-19-05		erimiro1: Great game by Falkbeer, who invented the counter-gambit in the King's gambit. I wonder why this game remains unknown.

May-02-05		deuce2dos: I don't get why Falkbeer didn't just play 27. Re7 Rf6 28. Bxf6? Maybe he didn't see it or he just wanted to mess with Anderseen.

Nov-26-05		Sargon1: 27.e7 ?? xc3

Nov-18-06		sfm: The way the sacrificed piece is given back with advantage is an enjoyable example of "defence". A lovely game.

Sep-11-09		Kasparkov: very good game.. a new lesson for me.. Thanks for this game...
