Mar-14-05		sergeidave: Morphy was definetively the best! No more comments needed...

Sep-28-06		thatsmate: This game is identical to the one that is listed as happening 2 years earlier... seems to be a mistake in the database. Morphy vs NN, 1855

Jan-01-09		WhiteRook48: I know. I noticed also. Maybe NN agreed with Morphy to lose another game with rook odds in the same fashion? Exactly? but I don't see why NN would throw away another game like that.

Jan-02-09		WhiteRook48: you either give me your queen, Morphy says, or- NN: "I'll take the other choice!" Morphy: "OR get checkmated."

Feb-28-09		WhiteRook48: was the 0-0 move an error?
