| Nov-22-04 | | Lawrence: <aw1988>, what about H Phillips vs Pillsbury, 1899 |
 |
| Nov-22-04 | | aw1988: Lol Lawrence, that works. But I think I'll stay away from that opening. |

 | | TheAlchemist: <kevin86> Or Richard Taylor? :-)) |
|
| Oct-16-05 | | Chess101: I bet Tal or Fischer in their prime would win with White in the final position even against a strong player. |
|
| Nov-26-05 | | Chopin: This guy should play checkers instead. |
|
| Mar-10-06 | | Autoreparaturwerkbau: <Chopin> There's actually 1 good move by poor Tobor in this database. It's 24...Qa5 in V M Pedersen vs D Tobor, 1991. ;-) |
|

 | | WarmasterKron: <Chopin> But isn't checkers for tramps? |
|
| Mar-31-06 | | McCool: This guy should've ended his chess career right after that move. |

 | | FSR: Legend has it that there's an even shorter correspondence game. After 1.d4, Black played 1...g6, and wrote, "If any, then 2...Bg7." So White played 2.Bh6!! Bg7 3.Bxg7 and Black resigned. |

| | whiteshark: Hello, m.hospital... yes, <sallom89>, he is surely... Oh, good, he'll be in good hands ... Yes, very very sad... lol! |
|
| Apr-22-08 | | Kukka: This is what correspondence players get when they try too hard to refute the Latvian. |
|
| Dec-04-08 | | Crowaholic: <aw1988>, <Lawrence>There's a similar gambit in the four knights game: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nxe5!? Nxe5 5. d4 which can be quite deadly, although data by chessgames.com suggests that Black has a good game after 5. ..Ng6 6. e5 Ng8 7. Bc4 d5! 8. Bxd5 c6 9. Bb3 Be6 See also:

|
| Dec-21-08 | | YoungEd: What do you think White's expression was when he got the card with Black's third move on it? Aaaaagh |
|
| Jan-17-09 | | WhiteRook48: 3. Ng5?? why did white play that? |
|
Jan-24-09
| | whiteshark: <Sorry, there are no games similar to this one in the database.> The obvious question is <why> ... |

 | | Gilmoy: Hasbro, c.1980s: "`tobor` is `robot` spelled backwards!" http://www.doyouremember.co.uk/memo... |
|
Jan-24-09
| | whiteshark: <Gilmoy> GREAT!!! ... and if you spell his forename this way, too you get <felted robot>! |
|
| Jan-31-10 | | neverSummeRed: This should be GOTD.
Perfect play by black |

 | | GrahamClayton: <Benzol>I heard of 'chess blindness' and even suffered from a bout or two of it in over the board play, but at correspondence? <Benzol>,
With CC you are playing all the games simultaneously, so Tobor might have got 2 separate games mixed up. I have been guilty of making moves in the opening phase of my CC games without referring to the actual position, but not as drastic as this example. |
|
| Nov-30-12 | | wildrookie: 4. d4 and white is a pawn up |
