May-24-06		EmperorAtahualpa: If 29.Rbd1, then 29...Rxd1 30.Rxd1 Ng5!, and White's bishop still falls.

Jul-31-06		lopium: Also 27...Qxb2 may be winning for black I think.

Apr-28-08		heuristic: This is game #1 of the second round (quaterfinals) of the American Chess Congress.

Nov-04-10		Vinpi: A rare Morphy's attack on the queenside.

Nov-04-10		TheVillageIdiot: Mr Meek was pretty Week.

Nov-04-10		Albertan: < TheVillageIdiot: Mr Meek was pretty Week.> Hardly, I doubt you could last 30 moves against Morphy. I didn't last that many moves against GM Yermolinsky in a simul.

Apr-27-12		fokers13: Well seeing as he had an inferior position against a superior opponent from move 17...

May-14-12		LoveThatJoker: Guess-the-Move Final Score: A Meek vs Morphy, 1857. YOU ARE PLAYING THE ROLE OF MORPHY. Your score: 66 (par = 48) LTJ
