  lostemperor: Well I wasn't too serious as some of you may (not) have notice. I think it a bit pity (sometimes) that the human mind is less and less represented and its becomes more heavy metal analysis.
Jun-21-03  drukenknight: IT's a pity that people have to insult one another when they are only human and have to make mistakes.
Jun-21-03  Shadout Mapes: I think I'd miss some of DK's suggestions, if he stopped making them. His ideas and thoughts challenge me to think more about chess, the hidden dynamics, or just to make me check to see how sharp my tactics are.

  lostemperor: For the record: ppl, it wasn't me who insulted drukenknight. As you see I agree with him:)
Jun-22-03  drukenknight: You should be careful about admitting that, lstmpr. Around here, they might lock you up for admitting such a thing.
Oct-30-05  CowardlyKnight: The guy had to be drunk.
Oct-30-05  CapablancaFan: <CowardlyKnight>Lol, obviously this wasn't a match setting and Capablanca decided to play an "average joe". I also think you right Cowardly, the guy must have had a little too much Jack Daniels to play like this. Capa probably played this game in his sleep lol.
Oct-30-05  Averageguy: <Capa probably played this game in his sleep lol.> Well that's what Bronstein did: NN vs Bronstein, 1961

  Gypsy: <drukenknight> intuition was right and there is a save -- 7...c6! throws a huge monkeywrench in White plans. See Reti vs A Dunkelblum, 1914 for more details.
Sep-19-06  CapablancaFan: <Gypsy: <drukenknight> intuition was right and there is a save -- 7...c6! throws a huge monkeywrench in White plans> 7.c6? Um...8.Nc7+.

Nope: 7...c6! 8.Nc7? Kd8! and Black wins.

Sep-20-06  CapablancaFan: <Gypsy>Ok. :-)

  Calli: 7...c6 8.Nc7 Kd8 9.Bg5!! wins the exchange since after ...Qxg5 10.Nxa8 White can save the knight, I think.

  Gypsy: <Calli> Win lose or draw, the 9.Bg5 is just brilliant!
Apr-05-08  D.Observer: Anyway, why did he move <that knight>?

  chancho: This game is included in Rogelio Capparo's book on Capablanca's games,(informal section) so whether it's a duplicate, I can't say.
Aug-19-08  ughaibu: Calli or someone: did Capablanca play this? I remember it in a book of Euwe's as Reti vs A Dunkelblum, 1914
Aug-19-08  Karpova: <Réti v Dunkelblum (miniature anticipated by Capablanca v Adams) KCK 64> http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/...
Aug-20-08  ughaibu: Okay, thanks.

Dec-16-11  erniecohen: Black finished 4th in the NY state championship, which makes this a little hard to believe.

  SteinitzLives: Oh well, we have all seen king-size blunders before, this was Adams.
Dec-16-11  Penguincw: Um. How did black overlook that?
