Mar-03-04		Whitehat1963: Crazy recklessness on both sides, but Maurian was obviously learning some lessons. He only got a knight at the start at this point.

Dec-31-08		WhiteRook48: Morphy had the Bishop pair for so long!!

Jan-01-09		WhiteRook48: definitely learning some lessons. Maurian had to be something like NN to get queen odds from Morphy in another game...

Jan-19-09		WhiteRook48: amazing draw.

Feb-10-09		WhiteRook48: perpetual?!

Mar-21-09		WhiteRook48: weird way to trade queens

Jun-11-11		lemonadepawn: too bad..

Jul-12-12		new in chess: Poor maurian, the wining is 15.Qxb6 axb6 16.Rxd2 Rxa3 17.Rad1 g6(Ne6)

Jul-12-12		JoergWalter: <new in chess: Poor maurian, the wining is 15.Qxb6 axb6 16.Rxd2 Rxa3 17.Rad1 g6(Ne6)> that looks convincing. Maroczy in his Morphy book just mentions 23....Rd2 as improvement over Rd3. Black is Maurian / Le Carp (entier) according to Maroczy which makes sense as Maurian received Rook odds in other games from 1855.
