Dec-20-02		mdorothy: Does 19. Bf7 have any real advantages, or is it just an attempt to let Morphy screw up? Maurian wins in a couple other odds games against Morphy too, shouldn't he try something along the lines of freeing his other rook instead of wasting two moves? I don't think it is possible to hold the pawn.

Jan-27-06		MorphyMatt: 4... Qh4 is very un-Morphy

Dec-28-06		MarkN: i guess Bf7 threatens Be8 on the next move... obviously not too hard to handle

Dec-31-08		WhiteRook48: very un-Morphy-ish. What's Morphy doing? Bringing the Queen out early??

Mar-21-09		WhiteRook48: stop giving so much odds already!
