| Jun-10-04 | | Whitehat1963: Almost a carbon copy of the game of the day. d'Arblay didn't learn too much in the intervening six years! |

 | | kevin86: A few notes: First Rd1 would have sufficed,Labby castled,adding a bit of French pastry-as it were. Second,here we have another variation of Reti-Tartokower-a nice ending. |

| | kevin86: OOPS,an obvious mistake in my above comment-do you see it? This game PRECEDED R-T,so you could say that that game is a variation of this :)! |

| Jun-10-04 | | notsodeepthought: Can't argue with white's win but obviously 21 Q:d7 Q:d7 22 B:d7 mate would have been simpler... |
|
| Jun-10-04 | | weary willy: too much of a carbon copy ... suggest one or other is a flawed score. 21 Lxd7+ and 23 Df8++ look quicker also |
|
| Jun-10-04 | | Elrathia Kingi: In the final position, every one of white's pieces is being useful for attack or defence, while black has no piece whatsoever that is serving a helpful purpose. White's pawns are in liberating positions, while black's pawns are in restrictive positions. Also, in the opening, black forfeits every piece that he develops, while white continues to move pieces out. Fascinating game, indeed. |

| Jun-10-04 | | mack: It would be very interesting if any of the games LaBourdonnais which he played for money in between his MacDonnell match surfaced. |
|
| Jun-10-04 | | filipecea: I'm a bit confused... Take a look at J Kvamme vs d'Arblay, 1836, they're the same game, but with different chessmen and different endings. |
|
| Sep-24-04 | | Knight13: Now white is ready to play 21. Bxh7+. or 20... Bxa4 21. Qd8+! Rxd8 22. cxd8=Q#. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Who can create the best anagram using Louis' full name? You'll readily note that the word "chess" is in there. It won't be easy, though: there's no "T" for words like "checkmate," "attack," or "gambit." |

| Jul-09-06 | | sneaky pete: Both game scores are wrong on all counts. The other version is incomplete (last 4 moves missing). White is De La Bourdonnais who gave QR odds, so 0-0-0 is just Ke1-c1, there is no rook on d1 and no quicker mate. The date of the game, apparently first published 1844 in <Chess Studies> by George Walker, is not known. |
