Nov-27-06		Autoreparaturwerkbau: First i was wondering: why white resigned, only after few seconds fatal discovered check + Bh6 came out obvious.

Apr-08-08		benba57: Bh6 is not check.

May-23-12		QUBE: Here's the probable line: 15.Rxb1 bxc3 16.bxc3 Qxc3+ 17.Qd2 Qxd2+ 18.Kxd2 Bh6+ White's down a pawn but he still has play. for a casual postal game it seems a bit early to resign. click for larger view

May-23-12		DanielBryant: I am curious how this game ended up being kept for posterity, as we seem to know little about either player (and I daresay neither was particularly strong).

Feb-20-13		FSR: After this mysterious game (the only game by either player in the database), 2.Bg5 wasn't seen for another 57 years. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...
