Feb-04-04		InspiredByMorphy: Very well played against what I consider the strongest defense to the budapest gambit... 4.e4 Nxe5 5.f4! Reti gives me some hope for black in this variation.

Aug-25-14		thegoodanarchist: Nice tactics by Reti to make his rooks dominate the White queen.

Aug-25-14		Check It Out: Baddum cha! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Jv... On the plus side, that's an exciting game.

Aug-25-14		ASchultz: Black was Reti to mock (or kmoch back) white's wing attack with the central line opener ...Qxf5! Or... Kmoch kmoch! Who's there? Rg6! Rg6? ... (Reti interrupts) Qxf5!

Aug-25-14		Moszkowski012273: 19.e5... had to be played instead of the cheapo 19.f5... And 32...Rf1+ 33.Kg2,Re2+ was a stronger way to end this one.

Aug-25-14		morfishine: Kmoch is part of that elite group of chess players characterized by humbleness, refined manners, courteous nature and generous disposition. Players like Anderssen, Koltanowski, etc.

Aug-25-14		Stonehenge: Hideous pun.

Aug-25-14		vsiva1: "Chess is a game by its form, an art by its content and a science by the difficulty of gaining mastery in it. Chess can convey as much happiness as a good book or work of music can. However, it is necessary to learn to play well and only afterwards will one experience real delight." - Tigran Petrosian, World Champion 1963-69.

Aug-25-14		nimh: I'd say that chess is a combination of the science of making accurate moves, and the art of making the opponent to make inaccurate moves.

Aug-25-14		newzild: It took me a moment to spot why White resigned. In the final position the only immediate way for White to avoid losing queen for rook is to play 33. h3. Then Black traps the queen with 33...g5! 34. Qh5 Bc4! 35. Bxc6 Re1+ 36. Kg2 Bf7.

Aug-25-14		kevin86: Not a bad one. Black will win the queen.

Jul-08-15		plang: 15..Be6 would have been an improvement for Black; after 16 Nd5..Na5 Black has a good game. 18 Nxc6? was a positional error giving Black control of d5; 18 Nd5 would have maintained an advantage for White. Kmoch obviously overlook Reti's pretty 26..Qxf5!. 29 Na4? shortened the game but did not alter the result.
