Oct-02-06  sneaky pete: 10... Be7 is very weak (10... Ng3 is best). Dubois has an inclination, maybe even a compulsion, whenever it's possible to shun the straight and narrow but instead to seek and find the long and winding road to the win.

12.Nxf3 gxf3 13.Ne5 .. where 12.Rxf3 gxf3 13.Qxf3 .. wins immediately.

15.Qf4 .. (allowing some resistance with 15... h5) instead of 15.Bh6+ Kg8 16.d6 .. etc.

17.Bc4 .. where 17.dxc6 Qxd4+ 18.Be3 .. could be played.

18.dxe6 .. instead of 18.dxc6 Bxc4 19.cxb7 Bd5 20.Nxd5 .. etc.

  GrahamClayton: This game was used for a living chess display at the Centennial Hall in Brisbane, Australia in October 1890.

It was the convention that rather than having the 2 players play a game which may be one-sided or dull, for the benefit of the spectators an exciting game which has already been played is replayed using the living pieces.

Sep-21-13  ariel el luchador: Una gran partida de ataque , las negras podían haber tenido la iniciativa con 9)...P3A INICIANDO UN CONTRATAQUE CON EL sacrificio de torre ,lastima que Dubois se dedicó mas al ajedrez italiano que al ajedrez europeo,un talento desperdiciado

Jul-20-22  sudoplatov: Rather than 10...Be7, SF suggests 10...f6 with about -.7 evaluation.
Jul-20-22  Cassandro: <sudoplatov> That surprises me. 10...Ng3 looks best to me.
