 | | playground player: Bird and Steinitz played some good games together, didn't they? |
|
| Jan-18-07 | | Rocafella: I can imagine Bird's face when he saw f7#. A proud man with an estute look on his face. Excited by the mate he had created. At the same time he looked up to meet Stenitz's eyes, and for a split second, saw him mumble under his breath. 'You smug b******' |
|
| Jan-18-07 | | Brettwith2ts: Haven't they used that pun before? |
|
| Jan-18-07 | | GeauxCool: <Brettwith2ts> Hello! 1.)"A bird in hand": Morphy vs Bird, 1858 2.)"And this Bird You Cannot Change": Bird vs J Mason, 1876 |
|
| Jan-18-07 | | Billosky: It's hard to believe such a game was ever actually played. How could Black allow it to come to such? |
|
| May-30-07 | | InspiredByMorphy: <Sneaky Pete> <he could have played 15.exd7++ Kf8 16.Qe8+> Why not 15. ...Be7 ? |
|
| May-31-07 | | beatgiant: <InspiredByMorphy>
On the suggested 15. exd7++ <Be7>, White has dxe8=K! The king is dead, long live the king! |
|
| May-31-07 | | malthrope: I was wondering when someone would post a response... :-) That was brilliant <beatgiant> 16. dxe=K# - <The king is dead, long live the king!> wishing that I would have thought of it! ~lol~ ;-) - Mal |

| Sep-04-07 | | TheaN: What is it with Bird and f4? If he isn't playing it on move one he has to play it at some other move.... a harder to achieve goal with Black, but I guess he would just resign if it would no longer be possible XD. |

| Sep-04-07 | | ughaibu: Sibahi: This game: Bird / Dobell vs Steinitz, 1866 is in Game Collection: World champions lose miniatures 1. |
|
| Sep-27-07 | | RookFile: This game is just a fairly typical example of Steinitz getting slapped around in an open game. He did much better in closed positions. |
|

 | | chancho: <RookFile> Bird got some slaps in, but in the end the majority of the slaps were administered by Mr Steinitz. In their last 11 games, Steinitz went +9 -1 =1 |
|
| Sep-27-07 | | RookFile: Agreed, Steinitz was a better player than Bird.
Hey, it's lunch time, I'm going to KFC in honor of Mr. Bird. |
|
| Feb-25-08 | | Knight13: Trapped in Bird's nest. |
|
| May-30-09 | | WhiteRook48: spectacular win!! |
|
| May-31-09 | | I Like Fish: bird-like... |
|
| May-31-09 | | Sicilian Dragon: bird-nest...
indeed... |
|
| Jul-15-09 | | YoungEd: Great game! I only wonder why it took Bird 9 moves to get in f4! :) |
|
| Jul-15-09 | | Emma: What a great mate |
|
| Sep-17-09 | | kooley782: Wow, this shows where romanticism can win when the opposition doesn't put up solid defense. |
|
| Jun-13-11 | | leroquentin: The best continuation. Mate in 3... 15. exd7 Kf8 16. Qe8+ Qxe8 17.d7xe8 #. Bird had a great style and knew how to use it.Even committing some oversights. |
|
| Dec-30-11 | | dusk: I don't think 11.Qe4 is a sacrifice, maybe it's a forced move. |
|
Jun-05-12
 | | Calli: Steinitz resigned after 14.e6
