Kibitzer's Corner
Jan-22-07  wolfmaster: Well played endgame by Staunton.
Apr-10-08  Knight13: 26...P-QKt4!! is the winning move. Makes me think if White should've played 26. Q-Q3 instead.
Feb-06-12  Knight13: 5. c5? is a mistake. See Fischer's comment on move 6 in this game: Zukertort vs Steinitz, 1886. Maybe Zukertort borrowed that idea from Saint Amant.
Feb-06-12  LoveThatJoker: Wow! Staunton's technique in this game reminds me of Gelfand at his best...with some Capablanca thrown in there for good measure.

LTJ

Jan-25-16  kevin86: White's king is about to be squeezed off the board.
