May-04-05		EinZweiDrei: This game is asking for a "Marx a Million" Game of the Day pun. I mean, I just shot down that possibility by commenting...

Jun-20-05		Runemaster: Million beat Marx - an allegory of the defeat of communism by globalised capitalism? Marx's structure was brought down on move 2 by the f7 pawn - clearly a class traitor working in the interests of the white forces. His reckless advance to f6 weakened the proletariat's revolutionary vigour, allowing an immediate incursion of counter-revolutionary forces.

Jun-20-05		WannaBe: Cute miniature, "Million Dollar Baby"?

Jun-20-05		mymt: spot the difference -Greco vs NN, 1620

Jun-20-05		VerySensitivePerson: Marx's play in this game makes more sense than marxism, but still not very impressive.

Jun-21-05		TheAlchemist: <Million beat Marx - an allegory of the defeat of communism by globalised capitalism?> Brilliantly put!

Nov-02-05		RandyM450: Maybe I'm not seeing something, but shouldn't it be 11. Qf7#

Feb-05-06		alexmagnus: Well, this is the worst you can play in chess with black against these white moves. 2...f6? OK, some people say Damiano can hold. 3...fxe5? OK, even after it counter-attck is possible (I won once from this position with black). 6...Kg6?? decissive mistake, the right move is d5....

Mar-22-06		McCool: 2..f6 loses 75% of the time.

Mar-22-06		TheSlid: <McCool> On one of Bobby Fischer's tours in the 1960's he played against a quite decent player who played the Damiano Defence (yes, this rubbish has a name!). It was a ruse, to persuade Bobby that the opponent was a "weaky". Black escaped with a draw, but I don't remember his name.

Mar-22-06		McCool: Would it be in here? <TheSlid>

Mar-22-06		MoonlitKnight: I've played this game a lot of times against beginners in blitz.

Mar-22-06		Resignation Trap: For the superior 3...Qe7, see Fischer vs R F Mcgregor, 1964 .

Mar-23-06		TheSlid: <McCool> Yes, <Resignation Trap> posts the link above (thanks!). 3...Qe7 is essential, as he points out.

Jan-30-07		soberknight: For a pun, I was thinking of "Million Man Marx."

Feb-23-07		Rubenus: In M Thaler vs S Sloan, 2003 black wins with 3. fxe5.

Aug-28-07		laskereshevsky: MUMBLE...MUMBLE.... MILLION vs. MARK?!... Im wondering where this match was played...and who was the referee???... OK!..After a loooong web-research i got it!! Here a rare film show the main sponsor and referee announcing the challenge, to a sincerly enthusiastic crowd: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped... Rather, same sources suggesting the match was played somewhere else, in a secret locality: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped... and the main sponsor and referee in true was this man: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped... Even, as same others sources said, is possible that this gruelling game was played in TWO sessions, with TWO "godfathers".... ...........:)

Aug-29-07		weisyschwarz: Personally I like "Hung Jurie".

Aug-30-07		technical draw: I wouldn't play for less than Ken Million Marx. How much is that in Euros?

Jan-06-09		WhiteRook48: how much is a Marx? I'm just a kid...

Aug-28-09		WhiteRook48: 3....Qe7, not 3....fxe5

Oct-16-12		Abdel Irada: "A Million Marxists Can't All Be Wrong"?
