Jul-06-05		shinesaza: Early f5 can be dangerous :)

Jul-30-05		cracky90: Apparently this is the game that inspired Reti playing Euwe in their match in the 20s at Amsterdam. Reti won twice in 19 and 22 moves with the double rook sacrifice against Euwe.

Jul-30-05		Honza Cervenka: It seems to be a predecessor of much more famous Adolf Anderssen vs Kieseritzky, 1851

Sep-15-09		Phony Benoni: Kieseritzky never seemed to learn. Apparently, Lionel was not wall trained.
