 | | Sneaky: Why did Black resign? Why not, for example, 10...Ng4 threatening mate? |
 |
| Jul-16-02 | | mprchess: Black was an amateur (or atleast i think), but he should have seen that. |
 |
| Jul-16-02 | | erap: Very nice |

 | | AgentRgent: Possibly because 10...Ng4 11. Qxd6 Bxd6 12. Nf6+ Nxf6 13. Rxf6 Be7 14. Bxf7+ and Blacks position is a mess. |
 |
| Nov-27-02 | | drukenknight: isnt black going to give check first? |

 | | AgentRgent: What do you mean DK? if you mean 13...Bc5+ that doesn't really help Blacks position. 13...Bc5+ 14. Kh1 Bd4 (is there better?) 15. Bxf7+ and Blacks position is still a mess... |
 |
| Dec-03-02 | | drukenknight: I was thinking 10...Qc5+ what am I missing now? |
 |
| Jun-18-04 | | soberknight: dk, you might never read this, but you have a point. Probably black resigned because he thought he had to exchange queens because there's no way he analyzed the whole following line: 10...Qc5+ 11 d4 (if Ne3 Be6 traps white's queen) Qxc4 12 Nf6+ Ke7 13 Bg5 (white can draw with Nd5-f6-d5 perpetual check, since ...Ke6?? allows Rf6 mate) Qxd4+ 14 Kh1 Bg7 and it looks to me that black should hold on and win. |

| Jun-04-05 | | Jaymthetactician: I think Cascio may have been better then Greco |
 |
| Jun-04-05 | | aw1988: Analysis need not be added to a game from the 17th century. |
 |
| Jun-04-05 | | Jaymthetactician: I still think black has no excuse to lose in a Muzio gambit, and why not analysis needed? We can see where the opponent gone wrong and improve on the lines, I add improvements on Greco's games all the time (I.E: 1.e4,e5 2.f4,f5 3.exf5,exf4 or 3...Qf6 or 3...Qe7 is better then 3...Qh4+) |
 |
| Jun-04-05 | | aw1988: Because they knew nothing about chess. |
 |
| Jun-04-05 | | Anastasia: people werent as smart bqck then |
 |
| Jun-04-05 | | aw1988: Of course they were as smart- that is, for their time. |
 |
| Jun-06-05 | | Jaymthetactician: Anastasia: people werent as smart bqck then
That may be true, but there is entertainment value in studying the games though. |
 |
| Nov-06-05 | | DeepBlade: What if 10. ...Qc5+ and after that Qxc4? |
 |
| May-20-06 | | 2021: <Deep Blade> 11.Ne3 |
 |
| May-20-06 | | MoonlitKnight: Most likely, the rest of the game is missing. |
 |
| Aug-26-07 | | 2021: <deepblade> Actually, after 10...Qc5+ 11.Ne3 traps white's Queen. Read soberknight's post. |
 |
| Oct-04-07 | | wolfmaster: <2021> and 11...Bd6 wins it. |
 |
| Jan-28-08 | | wolfmaster: <MoonlitKnight> Since Cascio is not as well known as Greco, he might not have preserved most of the game. |
 |
| Jul-24-09 | | just a kid: It probably stops here because Cascio is embarrased he almost let NN win.=) |
 |
| Oct-04-12 | | Zanderix: According to an italian chess site, the NN in this game is Muzio himself ... |
