| Nov-01-04 | | aw1988: This is the "Advanced Chicken Retreating Knights" game. |
 |
| Nov-01-04 | | Saruman: humph this one can also be found in Win At Chess by Fred Reinfeld... |
|
| Nov-26-04 | | Lawrence: Hi <MoFoLarry>, welcome. |
|
| Mar-13-05 | | Shah Mat: play the french instead. |
|
| May-01-05 | | halcyonteam: the knight-returning-move is pretty neat and classy |
|
| May-09-06 | | Tariqov: f5 ?? seriously weakens the kingside.
|
|
| Aug-04-06 | | jackmandoo: I like how the knight retreat back twoards base to put black in checkmate. |
|
| Aug-04-06 | | Rocafella: <jackmandoo> Probably the first comment on this site where you haven't made me laugh. What gives? |
|
| Aug-04-06 | | jackmandoo: I work in a hospital and my co-workers held me down and sedated me this afternoon. I can be mildly entertaning in small doses on the internet but to work with me must be a chore. |
|
| Aug-04-06 | | aw1988: Besides, it was a legitimate and comprehensible kibitz. Unlike most of mine. |
|
| Aug-04-06 | | Rocafella: lol, he's back! |

 | | FSR: This game was shown long ago to be spurious: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... |
|
| Mar-17-09 | | WhiteRook48: 9 Qxf6+ might make a good puzzle, even for a monday |

 | | Infohunter: <FSR: This game was shown long ago to be spurious: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/...; Yes, I'd heard that before, <FSR>, but the article had a lot of information of which I was previously unaware. Thanks for the link. Spurious or not, this gamelet certainly is a fun one to play over. |
|
| May-21-10 | | SU1989: 7..d5 seems to avoid mate.
7..d5 8.Bxd5 Nxd5 9.Qxd5 Qe7 10.Qxb7 Bc6 Not the best for black, but still playable. 7..d5 8.Nxd5 Nc6 and white's attack has run out of steam. |
|
| May-21-10 | | Craigokat: A nice twist on Legal's mate |
|
| May-21-10 | | WhiteRook48: interesting |
|
| May-21-10 | | Riverbeast: I forgot who said it, but a well known player said that 19th century chess was "one player playing, the other applauding" This game is another case in point, I suppose |
|
| May-21-10 | | jackmandoo: Woah! The knights retreat into checkmate! That's beautiful! |
|
| May-21-10 | | Riverbeast: Hooke no doubt applauded, and said "Jolly Good Show!" Then he bought his opponent a pint |

 | | Eyal: <This game was shown long ago to be spurious: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... > Fascinating - so according to Winter, the actual game was played in 1888, and White won by <another> queen sac: 9.Qd5 (instead of Qxf6 - here the mate in 4 is given in the notes) h6 10.Bg6 Ne5 11.b3 
click for larger view11...hxg5 (falling into the trap; here 11... Qc8, for example, should be winning since White would finally lose material with no adequate compensation) 12.Qxe5+!! dxe5 13.Ba3+ Ke6 (with 11...Qc8 there would be c5 here) 14.exf5# |

 | | kevin86: A neat checkmate:a queen sac followed by "retreating both knights to bishop three. |
|
| Oct-14-10 | | redorc19: cool mate |
|
| Apr-03-11 | | Llawdogg: Those were great knight moves, contrived or not. Brilliant. |
|
| Apr-03-11 | | Dionysius: <Riverbeast> Pretty sure it was Nigel Short who said 19th Century chess was "one person playing, the other applauding", but I can't easily put my hand on a source. Perhaps it was during one of his interviews at the London Classic 2010 |
