Dec-08-08		lonchaney: Very, very nice! The Anderssen - Morphy's touch in this one.

Jan-04-09		KingG: Yes, brilliant Queen sacrifice.

Feb-12-09		arsen387: why isn't this Q sac more famous? it's outstanding!!

Feb-24-09		KingG: <arsen387> There are many brilliant games that go unrecognized because they weren't played by the likes of Fischer or Kasparov. You can bet that if this had been played by one of them there would be at least 10 pages of kibitzing on what a fantastic game this is.

Aug-29-09		KingG: This should be Game of the Day at some point, although someone else will have to come up with the pun.

Nov-08-09		MrMelad: Cool queen sac! A test pun is "courageously divorced".

Nov-08-09		Steven87: Amazing queen sac.

Nov-08-09		computer chess guy: The Queen sac is flashier, but the simple 14. h1 also gives White a winning position. After ...0-0 15.f5 Bxd5 16.Bxd5 Nc7 17.Bxa8 White has won an exchange and has strong threats against the castled King. Alternatives are even worse for Black.
