Mar-18-04 | | kevin86: There is something even more rarer than the pawn mate-when was the last time anyone has seen an interposition of a black bishop at e2? It was a nice mate! |
|
Mar-18-04 | | Egghead: This is what happens when you do things by committee. :) 13. ... a4 would have won a piece outright, no? |
|
Mar-18-04 | | somethingstrong: <Egghead> Black cannot win a piece because 13..a4? 14. Nf6+, and then a slaughter ensues. |
|
Mar-18-04 | | TheTurk: egghead: no.
13... a4??

 | | Honza Cervenka: By the way, it's another game of Duke Karl Von Braunschweig who played also that well-known game Morphy vs Duke Karl / Count Isouard, 1858 |
|
Dec-13-05 | | chesscrazy: I just love this kind of checkmate. |
|
Dec-13-05 | | THE pawn: Ho crap, I was scared, I thought it was Capablanca, not Casabianca! |
|
Dec-13-05 | | chesscrazy: <THE pawn> I thought that too, and I was like, Whoah Capablanca was on the black side? But then I realized that Capablanca would have not been born in 1855. I only noticed the different spelling after. |
|
Dec-13-05 | | chesscrazy: Also the (Preti) looked like Reti to me at first. I better get new glasses. |
|
Dec-13-05 | | humtydumpty: Thanks guys .... Cause i was convinced that it was capablanca till i saw your comments ..... |
|

 | | WannaBe: I think this game took place just a 'little' before Jose Raul Capablanca time. |
|
Dec-15-05 | | THE pawn: Yeah, 1855 was Morphy's time, not Capablanca's. |
|
May-12-06 | | SJP: Serafino Dubois is fast becoming one of my favourite players, and I have only heard of him today. |
|
Nov-09-07 | | nimh: Rybka 2.4 mp, AMD X2 2.01GHz, 10 min per move, threshold 0.33. Dubois 3 mistakes:
11.d5 0.73 (11.Qe1 2.08)
16.Nf6+ -0.53 (16.h3 2.58)
22.Re1+ 26.42 (22.Qc7 #12)
Karl/Casabianca/Preti 7 mistakes:
10...Bf8 2.08 (10...d5 1.27)
11...c5 1.19 (11...g4 0.73)
14...Ba6+ 2.00 (14...Bb7 1.40)
15...Nc6 2.58 (15...Bb7 2.00)
18...c4 0.00 (18...Bxd6 -0.63)
21...Ke8 #12 (21...Kd7 0.00)
22...Be2 #10 (22...Be7 26.42) |
|
Dec-05-08 | | WhiteRook48: Why ...♗e2? I guess Black wanted a funny interposition |
|
Mar-15-13 | | billyhan: They say "you can't fight City Hall", but here's a guy (Dubois) who fought, and beat the "White-House" (Casabianca). |

 | | Phony Benoni: The same Duke Karl from the "Opera Box" game, Morphy vs Duke Karl / Count Isouard, 1858. Looks like he was the one who suggested most of Black's moves. It wasn't Preti. |
|
Feb-26-18 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: I agree with the first (and long ago) comment above. Indeed, the engine now says that the correct followup is an immediate draw by perpetual check. Black's king has a good shot at running across f6 to hide in the kingside, and lines that cut his escape off don't seem to succeed in winning. |
|
Feb-26-18 | | schnarre: 26. d7#...talk about insult to injury. |

 | | playground player: Did Duke Karl ever win? |
|
Feb-26-18 | | Retireborn: He probably mated the Duchess a few times. |
|
Feb-26-18 | | sfm: <playground player: Did Duke Karl ever win?>
Certainly: eternal fame from his mastery of the noble art of losing beautifully to notable opponents.
And of course this neat game:
Duke Karl of Brunswick vs Prince of Villafranca, 1870 |
|
Feb-26-18
 | | playground player: Nice one! |
|
Feb-26-18 | | tatarch: <Retireborn: He probably mated the Duchess a few times.> Well played |
|
Dec-28-21 | | probabilitytheorist: The mate is similar to Keres vs Karu correspondence game. |
