Jul-01-04		Ziggurat: 18. - 0-0 is a pretty bad blunder from Philidor. Luckily for him, Atwood counter-blunders later and returns the piece.

Jul-01-04		Jesuitic Calvinist: Yes, a bad blunder, but: Philidor was perhaps playing simultaneously and blindfold (as well as being almost 70). I am glad someone else looks at Philidor's games - if possible, it would be nice to have some more on this site.

Sep-05-04		Knight13: Why not 29... Qxb2?

Sep-05-04		PizzatheHut: <Knight13><Why not 29...Qxb2?> If 29...Qxb2, then 30. Nxb2 and black loses his queen for a rook.

Sep-05-04		Knight13: <PizzatheHut> Ugh, I didn't see that Knight on d3! Dang!

Jul-13-05		sneaky pete: Philidor played blindfold, but he did see that Knight on d3!
