| BlazingArrow56: Beauty is obviously a matter of opinion catfriend. The position is won and woulda been spoiled by Rxa3. Lotsa people woulda bagged the queen having had the chance. Rb8+ is correct chess, which FORCES MATE alot earlier than any other move unlike say 1.d4. |

| WMD: < <WMD> Since I made the connection with the pun, just wanted to make clear that I don't associate myself with Richard Wagner's racist, antisemetic views, which were used by the Nazis prior to and during WWII to justify their atrocities. Even Wagner's own Grandson has distanced himself from those views, and refuses to listen to his Grandfather's music.> And when you next analyse one of Alekhine's games or combinations, do you think you should also make it clear that you disassociate yourself from the views expressed in the Pariser Zeitung articles? Forgive the intrusion, but are you a Christian Zionist of some description? |

| vonKrolock: <patzer2:Thanks for the information > Not for that :-) - We have to be grateful to Wagner for guarding and preserving whith him for decades some very important papers that came later to light, like the full set of original score-sheet's copies from the Chess Congress in Leipzig 1894, that otherwise could had been lost in the troubled Years that preceded its publication (After Wagner's death in 1959, the mentioned papers went to Max Blümich's guard, and later to an English Editor, and to the public in the early 80's) |

| aw1988: A Pogo is a hot dog covered in batter (how do you spell that?) on a stick. |

| schnarre: <aw1988>Gotcha! (your spelling is correct, barring any changes in the dictionary) |

| vonKrolock: erratum: Blümich died in 1942 - see Max Bluemich - so, <the full set of original score-sheet's copies from the Chess Congress in Leipzig 1894> where actually in Heinrich Wagner possession during the 50's, and the English editor (K. Whyld ?!) received them from him |

| schnarre: <vonKrolock>Thanks for clearing that up. |

| vonKrolock: <schnarre> Gerne! I was quoting from memory.... And, by the way, a slight typo in an earlier post in this page: <Wagner Gambit 1.f4 f5> 2.e4 - At least also from my off-line data.
But here http://chess.about.com/library/week... we see that today some authors call that <Swiss Gambit>, reserving <Wagner Gambit> to the line 1.f4 f5 2.e4 fe 3.Nc3; and there's also ANOTHER <Wagner Gambit>! - 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 e6 3.Bg5 c5 4.e4 |

| schnarre: <vonKrolock> I recently tried 1. f4 f5 2. e4 fxe4 3. Bc4 d5 4. Bb3 Nf6 5. Nc3 Nc6. Black came out winning after another 23 moves. Has anyone tried the Wagner recently? |

| vonKrolock: <schnarre> Your 3.Bc4 seems to be a novelty - <tried the Wagner recently?> Really one of the rarest of all Chess Openings (less than one Game each three Years, grosso modo). Simply because the required 1.f4 f5 is already an oddity...

| Dodd: Is it just me, or does declining the queens gambit always lead to horror upon horror for black? Can anyone point me to a clever little game where black wins? |
|
| Mar-16-06 |
| Jim Bartle: Black winning the Queen's Gambit? Just opened my Informant anniversary book (of the first 64 issues) and the very first game of 640 is Spassky-Petrosian 0-1 Game 7 of the championship match. |
|

| TaricHall: I don't think 23 ... Qa3 is Black's best move. |
|
| Mar-17-06 |
| Dodd: Thanks Jim Bartle! I'll try to track it down now. :-) |
|
| Mar-17-06 |
| Jim Bartle: Dodd: That was just one example. There are so many. Just look up Nigel Short, for example, playing black in Queens Gambit. |
|
| Mar-17-06 |
| Dodd: Thanks - as you can see I need some pointers in my research. I'll let you know how it goes. |

| who: Is 18.Qb5 necessary. Could white have just played 18.Nxd4? |
|
| Apr-24-07 |
| BadTemper: unfriggingbelievable game |
|

| thebribri8: <TaricHall: I don't think 23 ... Qa3 is Black's best move.> Would you like to try to find anything better? |
