Oct-18-10		Phony Benoni: At the time of this game, Hempel was a month short of her sixth birthday.

Oct-18-10		An Englishman: Good Evening: And good heavens--she was only 6?!

Oct-18-10		rilkefan: "a month short of her sixth birthday" Is this an example of at it were normal extreme prodigy performance? How much of the above game is theory?

Oct-18-10		RandomVisitor: 14.Bb3 might retain a small white advantage.

Oct-18-10		Once: Humbling. She was only 5 at the time? Heck, it sounds like the name of the opening was bigger than she was! "Italian Game: Two Knights Defense. Traxler Counterattack King March line" An interesting parallel to today's POTD - Euwe vs Loman, 1923 - where again (relative) youth triumphed over experience.

Oct-18-10		Nightsurfer: SHOCK and AWE!! A kid that young - and then she has smashed poor Dietrich that way ... can't imagine how that guy has felt after that bashing ...!! ... :-( ... Conclusion: Beware of the jailbaits ... :-) ...

Oct-18-10		smalldreams: How old was her opponent?

Oct-18-10		FSR: What does "Exhibition" mean? Was this a simultaneous exhibition? If so, who was giving it? (Traditionally, the exhibitor (exhibitionist?) plays Black.) Or an exhibition like a living chess game or something like that - in which case the moves of the game could well have been prearranged? Note that Black, the following year, supposedly lost a correspondence game in 6 moves (all book) playing Damiano's Defense. Pritchard vs J Hempel, 1967 Something does not compute.

Oct-18-10		ketchuplover: 21.Qh4 seems worth a try.

Oct-18-10		kevin86: Black attacks,white attacks better,black attacks best!

Oct-18-10		Eduardo Bermudez: Killer instinct at six years old !!

Oct-18-10		Naugh: Nice game for sure. White made some very strange moves kind of "hoping" for a promising attack.

Oct-18-10		redorc19: usually after 4. Ng5 white gets and active aggressive game against the Black king. Black successfully switched the roles in this game!!!

Oct-18-10		redorc19: wait... she was 6!!??? What in the world!!!!!!!!!

Oct-18-10		RandomVisitor: Filipov-Krustkains (corr 1978) continued 14. Bb3 h6 15. Nxh6+ gxh6 16. Qg6+ Qg7 17. Qxe6+ Kh8 18. Rxh6+ 1-0
