Apr-01-06		whatthefat: This game is just utter madness! Diemer had sort of lost the plot studying Nostradamus predictions by this time (he was quite the 'character' it seems: Emil Joseph Diemer), and the result is some truly wacky chess!

Jan-01-10		droosan: One shouldn't take this as a useful opening idea for black. White plays with only the right half of his board, until it's too late. Bizarre.

Mar-03-13		Tabanus: White could be the 2 years older Austrian composer Paul Stöhr (1906-1984), who knows?

Mar-08-15		FSR: Ransacking the Stohr.

Jul-24-16		An Englishman: Good Evening: Just play 3.Nf3 and you have an Alekhine's Defense Reversed with an extra g-pawn. Or 3.d3 with a Pirc Defense Reversed, an extra g-pawn, and two extra Knight moves.

Jul-24-16		lost in space: ..or 4. Nf3 and you have something like Scandinavian Defense revered with extra g-pawn and extra tempo

Jul-24-16		Eusebius: Sometimes chess does not look like chess. Mind-boggling play.

Jul-24-16		lentil: IMO, Stohr was out of his league. He had no plan; he just reacted.

Jul-24-16		Abdel Irada: ∞ <Or 3.d3 with a Pirc Defense Reversed, an extra g-pawn, and two extra Knight moves.> I used to play regularly against a Grob specialist who wasn't averse to gambiting his g-pawn, and that's how I handled the line. (But it's only one extra knight move, and it can be argued that the knight doesn't really belong on g5, so Black does get partial compensation. ∞

Jul-24-16		perfidious: This game is ironic in that White plays for a speculative attack, but it is his opponent who gets all his pieces out of the box in short order and overwhelms him. En passant, it is but seldom that one sees the material imbalance of three minor pieces vs two rooks and pawn, as here at the finish.

Jul-24-16		Abdel Irada: ∞ <whatthefat: This game is just utter madness! Diemer had sort of lost the plot studying Nostradamus predictions by this time (he was quite the 'character' it seems: Emil Joseph Diemer), and the result is some truly wacky chess!> If Diemer was mad, apparently there was still some method in it. He won this game convincingly with a series of resourceful sacrifices that probably left Stohr feeling wacky. "A mad carpenter would still build a sane box." I don't recall where I read that, but it seems apt in this context. ∞

Jul-24-16		Virgil A: These guys just go for each other.

Jul-24-16		HeMateMe: I don't think that's legal, in Virginia.
