Jun-27-03		mandar: Amazing Game!! Just execellent

Aug-02-03		unclewalter: i am proud of myself for seeing that one in less than a minute--i guess all these hard ones lately gave me some good practice.

Aug-02-03		mrvertigo: wow that was a really ugly game. gxf6? and castling kingside? and white is to blame also. f4 looks really dangerous, and nh3? nice mate though. somebody had to accidentally fall on their scissors while they were running.

Aug-02-03		mrvertigo: ok, I looked at it again and gxf6 was forced, or would result in a pawn for knight trade. But any time both white and black play the frenxh defense...

Aug-03-03		chessgames.com: We've come to believe that this game is from 1926 (not 1796!) and played by Anthony Santasiere .

Jan-31-05		Stonewaller2: GM Soltis analyzes this game in his Stonewall Attack books. After 11. ... xf6 he suggests 12. g5 intending e4. Black can't take the f4 without allowing xh7 winnning the Exchange. (He also gives the date as 1920.) Other points: 10. ... xe4 11. xe4 threatens both xb7 and xh7+; Black would be better off with 8. ... c5 developing play on the side. 15. ... g8, of course, was fatal.

Jan-31-05		DP12: Both fine and underated players in the history of chess. I encourage anyone to look up Santasiere's excellent games as well as Adams' brilliant game against Torre(9 successive queen sacrifices!)

Jan-31-05		DP12: A mistake on my part it appears that the EB Adams in this game is not the same as the EZ Adams teacher of Carlos Torre and author of the famous game above which is from the same period (1920). One can understand the confusion.
