Jul-11-05		InspiredByMorphy: Why help white develop with 8. ...Bxh3 ? Instead 8. ...f5 9.gxf6 Rxf6 leaves black with better development having 4 pieces developed to whites two. Not to mention white's queen knight is blocking the queen bishop.

Jul-11-05		Koster: 11..Nxd5 made no sense to me, letting white's knight have e4. What was wrong with the obvious cd5, which also makes room for the QN on c6? Black has an excellent game then with center control and a lead in development. 1.g4 might be better than it's rep, but they're are reasons GMs don't play it.

Sep-23-05		halcyonteam: better recapture d5 with pawns, centre is solid

Feb-22-06		MorphyMatt: Very instructive commentary ;-)

Apr-22-06		Whitehat1963: Here's a great little puzzle after 16...Rf8.

May-11-08		sentriclecub: Whoever came up with the smothered mate should have their name associated with it as an honor. Its a favorite weapon in my noob repertoire.

Jan-27-09		number 23 NBer: <MorphyMatt> Yep. I think I'll have to study these words of wisdom for years to fully comprehend their complexity.

Jun-05-09		chillowack: <sentriclecub: Whoever came up with the smothered mate should have their name associated with it as an honor. Its a favorite weapon in my noob repertoire.> They already have, sentriclecub: the Smothered Mate was invented by Tommy Smothers, of "Smothers Brothers" fame.

Jul-23-09		WhiteRook48: Black didn't know how to take advantage of his superior position

Aug-13-09		FSR: <sentricleclub> They do - the combination with Nf7+, Nh6++, Qg8+, and Nf7# is called "Philidor's Legacy."
