| Honza Cervenka: Pretty mating combination but I think that Janowski's 17.Re5 would not have worked after correct 17...Qd6! Instead of 17.Re5 Janowski could have continued 17.Re8!!, which is crushing. White threatens 18.Bxf6+!  or 18.Rxf8! Qxf8 19.Bb4! (not to mention 18.Rxc8). 17...Rxe8 is bad for 18.Qf7+ with mate, 17...Nd7 fails for 18.Qg4+ Kh8 19.Qg8+! Rxg8 20.Rxg8#. 17...Be6 looks like a possible defence at first glance, but white has a forced win after 18.Rxe6 Nd7 19.Bd4!! Qb4 (19...Qxd4 20.Re7+ Kh8 21.Qxh6 with mate.) 20.c3 Relatively best is probably sac of Queen 17...Qxd5, but after 18.Bxf6+ Rxf6 19.Qxd5 Re6 20.Rxe6 Bxe6 21.Qxb7 white has a decisive advantage. |

| Minor Piece Activity: Beautiful analysis Honza! =D
Speaking of this game, it's an odds game right? Is there any special way a player should play an odds game? Just go all out for the king? |

| MoonlitKnight: My best tip is not to play like Kramnik. |

| kevin86: IT is amusing that in so many of these short games,like this one,that black threatens mate-only to never have a chance to execute it! 1895-the golden age of the gambit |

| beenthere240: I read an an anecdote about a chess master (Burns?) who once threw a game to an amateur, then offered to play at knights odd's - and won, He then explained that removing the knight actually gave him an advantage since he could get the Q rook into play faster! Just messing with the patzer's head, evidently. |

| capanegra: Those Bishops are the classic "Jans" at all their splendor. |

| brokenman: <Chessgames> when I view this game using Sjkbase I get a weird version of this game which ends on the 13th move. |

| GreenDayGuy: Isn't 12. Rae1 illegal because it would jump over the knight? Or did Janowski play a knight down for some reason? |

| aw1988: They did not say Janowski loved the two bishops without a reason! |

| iron maiden: <GreenDayGuy> It was an odds-game, with Janowsky giving the b1-knight. |

| prinsallan: Fine play here with a Knight down to begin with. |

| WhiteRook48: nice how white chose to sac the queen for a checkmate instead of the bishop. I wonder why only 5. 0-0 is in the sacrifice explorer and not 20. Qxf6+. |

| WhiteRook48: this pun hardly makes sense |

| YoungEd: My memory is hazy, but I think it was in Sergeant's book about Morphy that contains the claim that Black is foolish to accept the Muzio when taking QN odds--almost a forced win for White! Anyway, this is a nice game with a pretty finish even if <Honza Cervenka> is right that there was a better way to go. |
