Apr-19-04		DifferentDrummer: Incredible blunder from Staunton on move 38! Does anybody know under what conditions this game was actually played?

Jun-19-05		aw1988: I don't think they even had clocks! Blunder alert!

Feb-27-10		wwall: This is game 2 in The Chess Player's Chronicle, vol 1, 1841, page 3. Black played 12...g5? and 13.Nxg5 was OK. Also, Black played 16...Nh6? (perhaps 16...Qc8), and White could have played 17.Nxd5! and if 17...exd5 18.e6 is strong.
