| An Englishman: Good Evening: Believe it or not, Black has won 57.9% of the games in the database after 2...f5, and is a perfect 5-0 vs. 3.Bxg8. Somehow, I get a feeling that none of the games represent perfect play for White. In this game, I actually feel sorry for von der Lasa--he couldn't find a way to get rid of his 8th pawn. |

| themindset: i think this is the ultimate pawn-grabber-punishing i've ever seen. white moves his queen 9 times in the first 15 moves! ridiculous. |

| ChessTeacher: This is a good game to reflect on the difference between an ill-prepared attack vs. a solid attack. White is running around with just a queen. By move 16, over half of White's moves are with a queen. Sure, White picked up a few pawns, but wasted a lot of time! The move 3. Bxg8 is also a waste of time (2 moves to make the capture (Bc4 & Bxg8) vs. 0 moves for the knight). Contrast, Black's assault starting with 17...Qxf2+ with White's attack. You will find 6 pieces bearing down vs. White's winging around the board with a queen. The only surprise is that White lasted until move 24. |

| kevin86: Did someone see the queen moves of this game about 140 years later and invent Pac-Man? White is a duffer,patzer,or what ever word for a beginner you choose. I would have liked to have seen (a4 followed by Ra3 another great beginner sequence)-but alas,white didn't have the time. |

| lnlver: Is white actually Otto Maton, the famous chess playing machine? Because the moves sure seem artificial. :) |

| tamar: Conversation before game:
"You can call me Baron, or you can call me
Tassilo, or you can call me Heydebrand, but I am also known as und der Lasa."
"Just call me Otto." |

| ajile: brutal. I think 7.NF3 would be a better move for white. I'm sure a grandmaster would crush this defense with accurate and ungreedy play. |

| tpstar: White played the opening on ottopilot, meanwhile every Black piece was baron down on White's King. After clearing several Pawns, White never had time to exploit Black's baron Kingside, then his King was chased und harrassed. In-a the end-a, Black a-wonna, White a-lasa. |

| DeepBlade: Im gonna show this to my kids to show them the disaster (and to scare them, thus discourage them to play like this), caused by too many useless queenmoves. |

| sambo: Interesting factoid alert:
discounting the "Count" in Count Grigory Alexandrovich Kushelev-Bezborodko (because it's just a title), he has the exact same number of letters in his name (39) as Lionel Adalbert Bagration Felix Kieseritsky |

| jovack: Black must have felt like a big man mowing down those pawns with his big bad queen.
Otto, here are some things I learned the hard way at age 4 that didn't work: take anything 'free', check the enemy king whenever possible, the queen is the strongest piece so bring it out as early as possible... and if <ChessTeacher> is actually Bruce Pandolfini.. |

| markofthemushroom: Most people can't defend against what White did. I try to do it even if I lose at least I don't get arrested. |
