 | | Sneaky: Curiously, the Muzio gambit is a good choice if you're already giving knight odds, as the Queen's Knight rarely participates in the attack anyhow. |
|
| Jun-03-06 | | Eficko: wow what great play by stenitz. yes sneaky knight odds in the muzio is an advantage as lasker once said/showed. |

 | | Calli: Also see Morphy vs NN, 1857 Apparently a "book" line? |
|
| Jun-03-06 | | backyard pawn: White's majority of active pieces dominates the board, despite his vast material deficit. That final Qe8 is a beautiful solution to ending the game. |

 | | kevin86: Mr. Steinitz and the Wild Muzio-a deadly combination! |
|
| Jun-03-06 | | THE pawn: euh...ouch? |

"How many pieces can a man sacrifice?" LOL. Kind of a philosophical question.. |

 | | ganstaman: <filipecea> 15. 2 rooks, 2 knights, 2 bishops, 1 queen, 8 promoted pawns. Though playing the KG a piece down puts the number at 13. Ok, so maybe that's not what he meant. |
|
| Jun-03-06 | | filipecea: <ganstaman> well, in this case I think it's enough for a self-sacrifice! |
|
| Jun-03-06 | | filipecea: I would love to see, let's say a Topalov sac'ing this amount against Kramnik, for example. Although it's very very unlikely |

 | | jamesmaskell: I would love it if such a game actually happened. None of us are going to be hurt by this. I want to see entertaining, exciting chess. This is ruddy incredible! |
|
| Jun-03-06 | | Mendrys: It's almost as if the whole game starts off as a trap due to the fact of the missing knight. <Calli> is right. This was apparently a "book" line even back then. I imaginge that quite a few players would have fallen for it. It still doesn't take away from the cleverness of the ending. |
