Sep-19-06		technical draw: This game wasn't so EZ for Adams.

Sep-19-06		ganstaman: This looks a lot like a French Defense to me. I don't even see the similarities to the diagram on the Ruy Lopez, Old Steinitz Defense (C62) page: click for larger view Has taking the two rooks like this ever worked out? Ever?

Sep-19-06		syracrophy: They finally put the game I've uploaded. Thanks, <chessgames.com> :-) <technical draw> Yes, it was Edwin Ziegler Adams. Another of the "blitz" games that Torre played against his master. It appeared in the book that I have "Life and Games of Carlos Torre" by Gabriel Velasco

Dec-15-06		sanyas: If 20... xf3+ 21 xf3 hxg6 then 22 c6 b8 23 d6+.

Feb-06-07		nimzo knight: y not 20. Ne5. ?

Feb-06-07		Gregor Samsa Mendel: <nimzo knight> 20 Ne5 Qe4+

May-17-07		sleepyirv: gantsman: <Has taking the two rooks like this ever worked out? Ever?> After making a brief study on the matter; no. Unless you want to count this game A Redolfi vs Eliskases, 1957

Nov-29-07		Cibator: Well Ganstaman, Geller took 'em both in the following game, and scraped a draw .... Geller vs Golombek, 1952 .... and Golombek would have lost if he'd done the same!!

Mar-02-08		mindkontrolle: thank you
