Jun-29-06 | | LivBlockade: <notyetagm> no development => Mannheim Steamroller |
|
Apr-13-09 | | WhiteRook48: no development => being rolled over by a thousand-ton-weight |
|
May-24-10 | | zb2cr: Using crafty 23.2 to analyze 15. ... f5 leads to the following conclusion: White's possible move 16. Rhd1 is far stronger than the workmanlike 16. Bb5+. Lines from crafty:
+12.15 16. ♖hd1, ♗e7; 17. ♖xf5, ♕xc4; 18. ♗xe7, ♘c6; 19. ♗c5, ♘e7; 20. ♕e3, ♕xc5; 21. ♖xc5, ♖d8; 22. ♖xd8+, ♔xd8; 23. ♕d4+, ♔e8; 24. ♕xg7. +2.53 16. ♗b5+, ♘c6; 17. ♕xe4+, fxe4; 18. ♗xc6+, bxc6;
19. ♖e5+, ♔d7; 20. ♖d1+, ♔c7; 21. ♗d4, ♗d6; 22. ♖xe4, ♖hg8;
23. ♖f1, ♖gf8; 24. ♖xf8, ♖xf8; 25. ♖e1, ♖f7; 26. ♗xa7. |

Jun-16-11 | | wordfunph: game quote..
"From an instructive point of view, the clearance sacrifice of the two pawns is of greater value than the sacrifice of the queen." - Rudolf Spielmann |
|
Feb-04-12 | | fokers13: Rhd1 is mate in 13 according to Houdini.
I really liked 16.Bxf8 after 15..f5 mostly because it continues to drop the queen:)(it's +10.00). |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: A very slow but highly picturesque finish after 15...f5 is 16.Qxe4,fxe4; 17.Bb5+,Kf7; 18.Rf1+,Kg8?; 19.Rd8. Also works after 18...Ke6 or 18...Kg6, but the position after 18...Kg8 must count among the more spectacular examples of paralysis. |

Jul-20-14 | | morfishine: Since there is no swindle, there is no Flim-Flam; and since there is no Flim-Flam, there is no pun Simpler would've been to work in the word 'Flambe' and call it a day |

 | | perfidious: Black got Flambeed, right enough. |
|
Jul-20-14 | | ASchultz: Flamberg faces the flamberge. |
|
Jul-20-14 | | backrank: Spielmann made a tarte flambee out of Flamberg. |
|
Jul-20-14 | | patfoley: After 15...f5, I like 16 Re5ch |
|
Jul-20-14 | | backyard pawn: "Mannheim Steamroller" |
|
Jul-21-14 | | kevin86: Mate will come quickly from this brutal attack. |
|
Apr-02-16 | | JimNorCal: Nice pun! |
|
Apr-02-16 | | morfishine: Flamberg got flambe'd, but whats a "Mannheim steamroller"? |
|
Apr-02-16 | | AlicesKnight: A Mannheim steamroller (apart from anything else) is a musical device in 18th-century orchestral writing - an irresistible crescendo of sound (like Spielmann's pile-up of pieces against the BK).
Mieses rightly compares this game to Anderssen-Schallopp (1864), I think. |
|
Apr-02-16 | | morfishine: <AlicesKnight> Thanks, I was just about to google it |
|
Apr-02-16 | | johnlspouge: For further background on the Mannheim Steamroller, here is the Wikipedia article on the Mannheim School, an orchestra and opera company which was based at the elector's court at Mannheim, Germany from 1720 to 1781. [ http://www.conservapedia.com/Mannhe... ] |
|
Apr-02-16 | | JimNorCal: Mannheim Steamroller is also a music group. Their music is classics based but with elements of pop and electronics.
I'm sure YouTube would have free samples. |
|
Apr-02-16 | | kevin86: Black's queen cannot move...so she is a gonner. |
|
Apr-02-16 | | morfishine: What a mess |
|

 | | Honza Cervenka: Quite convincing refutation of that idea with 7...Bxf3 and 8...Qh4+. |

Apr-02-16 | | RandomVisitor: 5...Bc5 might be better for black, as in:

May-12-23 | | Jack64: I love rudolf’s games . Even a patzer like myself can see the easy development leading to a simple mate. Some of the old timers weren’t too concerned with defense |
|
Oct-11-23 | | rmdalodado: This game is given as Example # 20 in Spielmann's book The Art of Sacrifice in Chess. It is the first of three games under the section Line-Clearance Sacrifices. Spielmann's ending note from the annotation of this game: "From an artistic point of view, the previous line-clearance sacrifice of two Pawns is of greater value than the 'sacrifice' of the Queen." |
