Interesting. You mean that you consciously gave up a modern style and switched to an 1830s style of play? Is that even possible? In an another sphere, we can admire Shakespeare or Milton, but literally trying to write in their manner would be quite odd. I suppose that games like this might inspire one to be more direct, more tactical. But the naïve, if brilliant, style on show here can't really be replicated. There's a story by Borges, about a man who sets out to rewrite Don Quixote, word for word -- Pierre Menard. It seems relevant. |

| Nov-24-15 | | Marmot PFL: <Domdaniel> Ever seen the book of Mormon? 19th century religion written in 16th century English (an obvious imitation of the KJV Bible). |
|
| Nov-24-15 | | Robed.Bishop: Perhaps <welhelm1982> IS Pierre Menard. |
|

| | Domdaniel: <Marmot> Yeah, I've actually read (some of) the Book of Mormon. I thought it was a fascinating read -- so clearly derived from the King James Bible, with a dash of 19th century mystic history. And there are still people who regard it as being divinely inspired. Just as people do with the Bible, Quran, Torah, etc. In defiance of textual analysis. |

|
| Jun-03-16 | | The Kings Domain: Nice, pretty complex game by the two leading masters of their day, capped by the famous pawn march. Chessgames should create a page for the landmark De la Bourdonnais-McDonnell match in the Tournament Index section of the site. I'm surprised it still hasn't been done yet. |
|
| Jul-30-16 | | Tal1949: I still do not get it. McDonnell plays 25.Rc2 and does not follow it up with 26. Rf2. Instead he moves the King and weakens his position dramatically. What was he thinking? |

 | | ChessCoachClark: <morphynoman2: In "Kasparov Teaches Chess", the former World Champion says about the final position of this game: "This position, where the small pawns were victorious over the enemy, was so surprising that it seemed like a fairy tale and I was unable to live without chess after seeing it. I have admired this position ever since". (Kasparov was then 6 years old)">
I have read this book and found this game intriguing as well as a motivator to beginners. Nunn and abhor reliance upon games before 1999, but true gems must be promoted. Yes! |

 | | 0ZeR0: In my estimation this is the most ideal game ever played. I never tire of it. |
|
| Jan-30-19 | | Damenlaeuferbauer: The first immortal game in the history of chess. The modern dynamic of black's play is astounishing - this could be a game, which is played by two GMs/IMs today in an open or robin-round tournament all over the world (of course not a super-elite event). Every chess player in past and present would be very proud to play such a game from the black side of the board. |
|
| Feb-02-19 | | Albanius: I don't think a modern GM would play 5 Nxc6, losing a net tempo (three N moves to one plus the pawn capture) while giving B a extra center P.
The eventual punishment more than fit the latter positional crime. |
|
| Feb-03-19 | | Damenlaeuferbauer: <Albanius> In principle you are right, but in fact the two GMs Bozidar Ivanovic (Yugoslavia/Montenegro) and Ratmir Kholmov (Soviet Union / Russia) [both rated over Elo 2500] played 5. Nxc6. Just for the records, after 1. e4,c5 2. Nf3,Nc6 3. d4,cxd4 4. Nxd4,Nf6 5. Nc3,d6 6. Bc4,Qb6 later WC Anatoly Karpov played 7. Nxc6 (A. Karpov - Leonid Stein, 39th Soviet Championship Leningrad 1971, 1-0). In my only tournament game with the Sicilian Kalashnikov 1993, White also played 5. Nxc6 followed by Nc3, Bc4 and Bg5, I was unable to win with the black pieces and finally lucky with a draw. |

"Black has accomplished nothing but giving up queens on three successive moves. An interesting achivement, but otherwise it's hasta la vista." <Phony Benoni>
The two white rooks capture on e1, and the two black pawns capture and promote on e1, all in the space of just two moves. |

I'm surprised it still hasn't been done yet.> A motion has been advanced and I second it!> The trouble is, they did not play one match, they played about 6 matches totaling about 87 games. That makes it a lot of work, especially as resolving correct dates would be tedious. |
|
| Jun-18-20 | | MordimerChess: There were couple of ways for McDonnel to draw the game, for example:
25. Rf1 Qe3+ 26. Kh1 fxg2+ 27. Kxg2 Rxe8 28. cxb7= or move later:
26. Rf2 Ba6 27. Qxa6 Bc5 28. Qf1 d32 9. Rxd3 Qg5 30. Kh1 Bxf2 31. Rxf3 Rxf3 32. gxf3 Bb6= Interesting is that 25. Rc2 was losing but only to mentioned above 25...Ba6!! My detailed video analysis: https://youtu.be/hM1aQ81Tp5o Only for fans of classics, take your time :D |

Does anyone else see this issue?!
Also it is OO instead of O-O in the above PGN
However on my TV web browser, it is fine. Strange. |

<Tryfon> Good to see you around here so often again! I hope you are well. I am having much fun playing correspondence tournaments on https://www.chessworld.net/ thank you for hosting! Yes I am getting the same bug from my desktop computer as you report here. I know that the new technicians are currently beta testing some code having to do with the pgns, so I hope this glitch is only temporary. Your report on this page clearly identifies a pgn bug though and is of general interest to the administration. I will email one of the techs now and make sure he is aware of this new development. Thank you! |

Nov-08-20
| | kingscrusher: Jessica thanks
I should also point out the " +" should not have a preceding space before the "+" sign. Cheers, Tryfon |
