| Jun-26-14 | | Bruce Graham: Is this the record for the most sacrificed in the shortest game? I can't find anything shorter. |
|
| Feb-17-16 | | Allanur: I think this is the real immortal game, it took Canal to win less moves to move than it took Adolf Anderssen, it took less moves ti sacrifice. but in the game which is called immortal game, Adolf's opponent did not lose any piece, just pawns he lost. |

| May-15-20 | | MordimerChess: This is ultimate version of Boden's Mate pattern. So if you want to master it, check out my analysis here:

...and other two, where Alekhine mate in move #11 using the same pattern and original Boden's Mate... all of them on my channel. Enjoy! |

| May-15-20 | | catlover: Until going over this game, I did not know that pattern was called Boden's Mate. If anyone is interested, here is the game on which the name is based: R Schulder vs Samuel Standidge Boden. Good palindrome, <Phony>! I'm glad you worked a cat into it. |

 | | Phony Benoni: <catlover> In addition to R Schulder vs S Boden, 1853. I might point out D Urusov vs Shumov, 1853, played in the same year. White, a player of master strength, misses the mate twice in a row and goes on to lose! |
|
| Jul-06-22 | | Calydon: A real gem. Black is dead lost after castling, but it really looks innocuous. My guess is that Black saw the loose pawn on d4 and thought castling long would put it in the sights of the rook. Also incredible, after 12. Kd2 Black's most stubborn defence is to avoid the second rook, and instead offer up the queen with 12... Qa2. |
|
| Dec-26-22 | | Frits Fritschy: Black could have tried 12... Ne5, freeing d7 for his king, but after 13 Rxa1 Nxf3+ 14 Bxf3 Rxd4+ 15 Ke3 Rd8 (not 15... Rxb4? 16 Rxa7 and Ra8, nailing down black's king side pieces) 16 Rxa7 Ne7 white is of course better, although there is still work to be done. The same counts for 13 Bxe5 Qxh1 14 Bxg7 Ne7 15 Bxh8 Rxh8 16 Qxf7 Ng6 17 Qxf7 Ng6 18 Qxe6+ Kb8. However, 13 Qe4 does the trick: 13... Qxh1 14 Qxe5 Kd7 15 Nb5! f6 (15... cxb5 16 Qd6+) 16 Qc7+ Ke8 17 Nd6+ (clearest) Rxd6 18 Bxd6 with the threat 19 Bh5+ g6 20 Qc8+ Kf7 21 Qf8#. |

| May-17-23 | | Mathematicar: Easy tactics, but not so easy to spot or, rather, search for it in a game, especially in simul. |

 | | Sally Simpson: Yes, A classic from a pattern that is nearly as famous, though a lot less common, than Philidor's Legacy. Easy to remember and go though on a demo board as I have many times. Part of my 'A pinned piece or pawn is only legally pinned to a King.' lecture. The c3 Knight is pinned but not the a-pawn. Black's play is logical and appears OK till 0-0-0 and even that looks plausible. I can envisage Esteban Canal rushing around the rest of the room to get back to this board and waiting for 0-0-0. |

| Apr-05-24 | | geeker: Opponent being NN, it could have been a simul game. Saw the Boden's mate theme right away, but the Black Q has to be deflected from defense of a6, so 11. axb4 then suggested itself. 11...Qb6 is a better defense, but the Black position is hopeless, so NN might as well "Take my Rooks!" and lose in style. |

| Apr-05-24 | | thegoodanarchist: Of course the pun should have been "A man, a plan, E Canal" |

 | | al wazir: If NN had realized belatedly the peril he was in after 11...axb4 and refused the win of the ♖s, he still would have lost quickly: If 11...Qb6, then 12. Na4 Qxb4+ 13. c3 wins the ♕. If the ♕ retreats, white plays 14. Qxc6+ and wins as in the game. If 11...Qxb4/Qd5, 12. Qxc6+ again has the sac on c6. |

 | | Teyss: If I can find it, it's not Friday level. Pretty combo nonetheless. 10...O-O-O?? is called castling into it. Interesting collection here: Game Collection: Castling mishaps |
|
| Apr-05-24 | | TheaN: Personally I cannot claim credit because I know this game start to finish. It's Boden practically, given that as stated by others Black is dead lost after <11.axb4!>: it wins a piece, and after <11....Qxa1+ 12.Kd2 +-> Black can only surrender the queen to prevent mate, else the text follows. This game is a prime example why the Scandi is dangerous: very wild games, but it's usally a quick knockout on either end. |

 | | Check It Out: Sacking two rooks to tuck away the enemy queen, then sac a queen to get Bodens mate?! It's the stuff that makes children love chess for the rest of their lives. Quick, hide this game!! |

 | | OBIT: http://chessgames.com/perl/chessgam... is the same game, same year, same location. Assuming all the information is accurate, the loser isn't unknown, it's somebody named Horvath |
|
Nov-04-24
| | Sally Simpson: NN has been give the name 'Horvath on another page. E Canal vs Horvath, 1934 The same player as White, the exact same moves up until 13.Qxc6. The same place, the same year. What do we do now? Keep both games. Replace NN with Horvath here. Delete this thread keeping the named game. Delete the named game thread. Delete both games. Delete Canal and make it Horvath v NN...decisions decisions decisions. 62 years after playing Canal this chap Horvath played and beat Kramnik in a simul Horvath vs Kramnik, 1996 Who is Horvath...has he ever won a bronze medal at the Olympiad? |

| | Sally Simpson: And the duplicate game E Canal vs Horvath, 1934 has now gone.
Such is the power of the 'correction slip.'
I am am now submitting correction slips for football players who sport beards, North Face jacket wearers and OAP's who get on a bus and cannot find their bus pass.
If the correction slip, which I have a deep respect for and believe in, can rid the planet of the above I will be eternally grateful.It is a toss up between Morphy at the Opera or this threads game. (Canal at the cinema) for which has appeared the most on my demo board when meeting a new bunch of kids. I think this one and I usually follow it up with
R Runau vs Schmidt, 1972 |
