Oct-13-07		keypusher: Hang on, why is Bruehl giving Philidor odds? Was White playing without his QR?

Oct-13-07		Calli: <kp> Good point. White plays without a Queen's knight, Black without the f-pawn . Source: Walker's Selection of Games

Oct-14-07		Calli: I am sure it will be fixed today. In Walker's "One thousand games" he gives Qc6. This is on Google books: http://books.google.com/books?id=Vf... See game 32. I don't have the original "Selection" but was looking at the game given in QCH4 by Fiala who gives "Selection" as his source. QCH has Qc4 as the move. On balance, I think Qc6 is correct since we have the original document.

Jan-31-08		wolfmaster: I love how Philidor surrounds Bruhl's king.

Feb-12-08		just a kid: Man,Philidor was an attacker too!

Mar-25-08		Knight13: Obviously the f-pawn proved too much for the underdog, who receieved a fine tactical massacre.

Dec-31-08		WhiteRook48: why is Philidor getting odds? Is he not good enough a player????

Jan-03-09		WhiteRook48: The Scandinavian Deense (there's no f-pawn)

Jan-05-09		WhiteRook48: can't chessgames take off the white QN since Philidor was giving odds too?

Jan-10-09		WhiteRook48: one pin messes up black's game

Jan-19-09		WhiteRook48: fantastic. one pawn makes ALL the difference.
