| RookFile: This is pretty ridiculous, this game is exactly the same, colors reversed, as the game McCool mentions. |

| netlava: 4. fxe5 was probably White's first mistake. |

| AAAAron: I gotta agree with Cartman on this one. This game is exactly the same as the other game the two played..... Something smells......Fishy! |

| tpstar: "Many people who do not play assume that chess is, in effect, a war game, in which opposing 'armies' of white and black pieces are commanded by 'generals' along lines emulative of military strategy. Historically, such assumptions are quite correct; the very names of the pieces suggest that the first sets were imitative of contending national states, and the moves of the game highly stylized imitations of battlefield maneuvers. "In truth, however, any resemblances between chess and warfare are strictly superficial. Skill at the one by no means necessarily implies skill at the other. In proof, witness Napoleon: The greatest military strategist of all time reportedly was an execrable, if enthusiastic, chess player. "To determine the truth about Napoleon's play is, unfortunately, impossible: We have no game left to us that we can attribute to him with certainty. The following game, probably his, indicates a lively if unconventional style - much too unsound, however, to be serviceable on a battlefield. Bringing out both knights on the first two moves displays a certain impetuosity that, had it been apparent at Waterloo, might have saved Wellington a great deal of trouble." I.A. Horowitz, "All About Chess," 1958 |

| realbrob: Well, if the game is a fake or something like that there's nothing to talk about, but if it's true he was not so bad as a chess player. Let's remember that it was the beginning of the 19th century and that in 1804 this guy had many other hobbies (like ruling Europe, fighting against coalitions of 3 or more countries..). A clever man, indeed. |

| Marmot PFL: 4.h3 is a strangely passive move compared to white's other moves in this game. From a bold attacker like Napoleon I would expect 4.d4 or Bc4. |

| jovack: Is she stupid? Please look at the game before this (with napoleon as black). He beat her in the EXACT SAME FASHION.
Wow, I guess he wasn't playing with her for a good chess challenge. |

| ruyfanatic: Napoleon won 75% of his games. That's pretty good. |

| Riverbeast: I wouldn't be surprised if this game was pre-arranged, or if she just lost on purpose.... Napoleon was really a weak player, though he was known to have a predilection for moving his knights often in the opening...they said this reflected the fact that he favored the cavalry in warfare |

To me, this looks like one of Morphy's slaughters. |
