| Mar-15-09 | | Marmot PFL: When Morphy played beginners he would at least give knight or rook odds or play blindfolded. |

 | | Richard Taylor: Letterman is a very funny man - I enjoy his show it sometimes plays at night here in NZ - probably replays. Very droll - |

| | Richard Taylor: The Letterman Defense!! |
|
| Aug-16-09 | | Tim G: I vaguely remember this game. Letterman would call Kasparov via telephone to get his move. It may have been at a less-than-ideal time for Kasparov's time zone and, if I remember correctly, Letterman had all day to make his move while Kasparov made his immediately afterward. Is that correct? |
|
| Feb-06-10 | | edbermac: Letterman was probably cheating with a computer. I play Big Bang Chess that came with my MAC and it plays 3...Qe6+ 80% of the time. In fact it plays 1...d5 80% of the time! The other 20% is 1...Nc6. |

| Apr-21-10 | | pink gorilla: why does kasparov get to be white |
|
| Aug-20-12 | | Helios727: David would call Kasparov and have him state his move while David had to make his move immediately after. So it was Kasparov who had all day to think of his move while David made his move in a few seconds. This may have been to prevent David from using computers or getting help from other grandmasters. |

| Sep-16-12 | | Everett: Computers? 1990? |

 | | Dionysius1: Lovely finish - a bit of genial showboating from Kasparov! |

| Apr-03-14 | | waustad: As a youth I used to watch Steve Allen when I was allowed to stay up that late. I confess that I haven't watched the show much since, though I'm often up that late. I wish him a comfortable and active retirement. |
|
| Apr-04-14 | | Granny O Doul: Steve's retirement seemed to be active enough. He wrote about 6,000 songs, but only a few hundred would I call really essential. |
|
| Nov-26-14 | | WhiteAnemone: Funny game, almost made me laugh. |

| Aug-25-19 | | newzild: Letterman is worse than Sting.
At least there was a nice queen sac at the end. |
|
| Aug-25-19 | | cunctatorg: I don't get it at all! After 15. Bxa5 Garry Kasparov had an advantage of a Queen (and a pawn) for just one Knight...
If this can be a game of the day, I should have played a game against Kasparov and Chessgames should include it a the GOTD collection; there is a good chance that my play wouldn't be worst than Letterman's!!... |

 | | OhioChessFan: It's slightly possible that people wouldn't be as interested in the Legendary cunctatorg as they are in David Letterman. |
|
| Aug-25-19 | | cunctatorg: Why David Letterman is more legendary -regarding the game of chess- than this cunctatorg guy?!? And who's David Letterman by the way?!? |
