GIAaron: The position is very messy after 18...Nexd5!.
20..Qh4 was better than 20...Qh6 ?!, but Black is probably a bit worse by then in any case.

GIAaron: He played 40...Kf6 on the board, but his flag fell before he pressed his clock button. Obviously he has a rotten position whatever he plays on move 40.

GIAaron: You've lost the plot Alphamale: Talent wise Morphy was arguably stronger than most players pre about 1940.I'd say he was more like 2400. For me Pillsbury is the one who catches the eye from those early days.
Remember this: Just because 800 Americans can currently run a mile faster

GIAaron: 126 Rd7?? is a howler. 127 Re7 instead wins.
I just thought that the slightly irritating (though still losing) defence 126...Bf7 would be harder for him to find after 126 Rd7, but missed that I was giving his Rook access to the f5 square.
