| Oct-28-07 | | sandmanbrig: Wow. This game is unnatural. |
|
| Oct-29-07 | | avidfan: In the final position a possible mate occurs if 31...Qxh1 32.Bg6+ Kd8 33.e7+ Kd7 34.e8=Q+ Kd6 35.Qe5+ Kc6 <35...Kd7 36.Qe6+ Kd8 37.Qe7+ Kc8 39.Qe8#> 36.Be8+ Kb6 37.Qb5# but not if 31...Qxf1 since the black queen controls b5. |
|
| Oct-29-07 | | kevin86: With friends like the pawns-the queen doesn't need any enemies. A picturesque position to say the least!! |
|
| Dec-30-07 | | whiteshark: An unusual and striking game. How the black ♕ can't escape... |
|
| Jan-17-08 | | Kaspy2: fyi: "Michele my Belle" probably refers to the refrain line / title of a song from the 60's or so |

 | | GrahamClayton: This game brings back a few memories!
My Dad taught me the moves of chess back in 1976 when I was 11 years old. I then learned to play by borrowing books from my local library. Horowitz's "Golden Treasury of Chess" was one of the first books that I borrowed, and this was one of the first games in the book. The final position and the moves really opened my eyes to the beauty of chess. |

Jules Michelet was a famous french historian.

| Aug-30-10 | | eightbyeight: On Tim Krabbe's games page (http://www.xs4all.nl/~timkr/ChessTu...) it says this game ended with 31. h3?? Qxh1 32. Kf6?? Qxf1 33.Bg6+ Kd8 34.e7+ Kd7
35.e8=Q+ Kd6 36.Qe6+ 1-0. Where on Earth did THAT come from??? |

| Sep-14-11 | | solskytz: The king, by stepping to d4, declares 'I guess I'm in the endgame already!' He recognizes that the presence of black's Queen and knight (let alone the rook's remains...) are nothing but an illusion, brought about by strange topographic circumstances on the board... A queen stalemated by her own pawns (though admittedly by the clever posting of one white bishop) is something I don't remember seeing before. On the last move, instead of the excellent move Kf6, I found the response h4 (on hxg3) rather amusing, and thematic to this game.,, Alas, it probably loses to something like ...Qxh1 with ...g2 - in some positions you must resist the temptation to make a joke |
|
| Dec-03-11 | | lemaire90: Phenomenal game ! The black queen is trapped and cannot help the king vs. white's king, passed pawn and bishop ; and if gxh2, black's passed pawns are sad, completely blockaded. |

 | | scormus: <PB ... the white mouse> Any fool can walk right up the mouth of a lion. The trick is to walk away again. <Manic ... poor Keiseritzky> yeah, for someone who had a classic KGA variation named after him, he didn't have much luck with the B pieces against KGA |
|
| Jul-09-15 | | ToTheDeath: Classic 19th century chess. The queen sac was a stroke of genius. |

| Jul-09-15 | | thomastonk: 15 minutes of research brought some interesting aspects to light: 1. This game was already published in 1843, so <Paris m/1 (1845)> is wrong. See "Handbuch des Schachspiels", 1843, page 318. 2. In 1846, Kieseritzky published his "Cinquante parties jouées au Cercle des Échecs et au Café de le Régence", a book using a horrific difficult notation. 2a. There this game is no. 26 on pages 24-25. Kieseritzky wrote: "Jouée en 184 [sic],". So, he didn't mention the exact year! 2b. Kieseritzky continued "ENTRE MM. MICHELEX[sic] et KIESERITZKY." And the name "MICHELEX" is repeated six times. So, the name of the first player differs! 2c. Kieseritzky's gives the following moves: 31.h3 ♕xh1 32. ♔f6 ♕xf1 33.♗g6+ ♔d8 34.e7+ ♔d7 35.e8=♕+ ♔d6 36.♕e6+ ♔c5 37. b4+ ♔d4 38. De5+ ♔c4 39.Lf7#. So the game score is different, too! PS: I found the game also in Staunton's Handbook, copied from the "Handbuch" - no surprise for insiders. |
|
| Jul-09-15 | | thomastonk: Addendum: Von der Lasa changed the name to 'Michelex' in the third edition of the "Handbuch des Schachspiels", 1858, page 358, but the game score remained unchanged. |

 | | Bubo bubo: I wonder whether the identity of the winner of this spectacular game will be unveiled some day. Probably not, but maybe there is hope after all: for a long time we did not know more about the loser of the famous <two queens lose against a bunch of minor pieces> game (R Franz vs Mayet, 1858) than his name "Franz". |
|
| Sep-11-18 | | WorstPlayerEver: After 13... Nc6 White is lost. Black threatens Nxd4 and Nb4. |

| Jan-10-23 | | generror: In my digital copy of Kieseritzky's <Cinquante Parties> has some handwriting completing the printed "184" to "1844", but this still doesn't add up with the publishing date of the <Handbuch>. Also Kieseritzky writes of the game "Traduction de Lewis, Tab. XXXII-XXV.", so (as he says in the book's preface), it seems to have originally been published in one of William (?) Lewis' works. I have quickly checked his <Chess Board Companion> and <Treatise on the Game of Chess> but couldn't find any "Tab"s. Has anyone any idea? |
|

| | GrahamClayton: 23. Bxf3 Rxe3+ 24. Kxe3 Qxf3+ 25. Kd2 Nxd4 and White is running out of useful moves. |
