Nov-27-06		Autoreparaturwerkbau: 6.Nxf7! exposes king to lovely attack. Then 14.Bg5 finishes the black's unsure position.

Nov-27-06		Chicago Chess Man: I think I would've just tried to weather the storm with 7... Kxe6.

Nov-27-06		TrueFiendish: How about 7...dxe6 8.Qxd8 Bb4+ and wins back the queen?

Nov-27-06		THE pawn: <TrueFiendish> Not good for black. After 8...Bb4+ 9.Qd2 Bxd2 10.Kxd2 white is up a bishop

Nov-27-06		TrueFiendish: Look again, after 10...Nxe4+ he's up nuthin.

Nov-28-06		THE pawn: <TrueFiendish> I mean't 10.Nxd2 where he is more than alright. I don't think it's a winning advantage for white, but morphy can easily handle this. The correct reply is: 7...Kxe6! with no danger for black and a huge potential advantage. Off course, having the king in such an open range against Morphy is a lost game in itself, but GMs today could easily win with black.

Nov-28-06		TrueFiendish: I was just pointing out that black had more than one option to the craven Ke8.

Feb-04-08		mravikiran: Paul Morphy!

Apr-01-08		ValenFrog: Black should have done 10...Qxe5

Apr-01-08		Gilmoy: Picture <ValenFrog> patiently waiting two months to post that today :)

Apr-01-08		sallom89: Scotch Game: Lol Variation ?

Apr-01-08		nimh: "Loll" is Estonian for fool, stupid.

Apr-01-08		sallom89: <nimh> sorry wise man, but i ain't stupid ;o

Oct-08-08		frank124c: Everything is something in another language. Can someone translate "phenelomorphin?"

Oct-08-08		sneaky pete: <Everything is something in another language> reminds me of the legendary Sjef van Oekel, singing the old tearjerker <There's a Lull in my Life>.

Jun-22-09		WhiteRook48: putting the king to e8 is stupid

Jun-07-11		lemonadepawn: @ValenFrog If 10...Qxe5, then 11.Re1 Ne4 12.Qf3 and Black loses a Knight.

Jan-07-13		FISCHERboy: Nice combo 6. Nxf7! and 7. Bxe6. But a 2000+ player today would have seen such trap. Again, Morphy was like a GM playing against 2000-below competition. Not fair. ^_^
