| Aug-04-08 | | chessqueenie: why doesn't white take bishop when its forked on move 9??? |
|
| Aug-04-08 | | Octal: <chessqueenie>: Analyze the position after 9. fxg4? Qh4+. |
|
| Aug-16-08 | | ravel5184: 9. fxg4? Qh4+ 10. Ke2 d3+! 11. Ke3 (Kxd3 Nf2+, cxd3?? Qf2#) Bc5+ 12. Kf4 g5+ 13. Kf5 Qh6 and mates next. |
|
| Aug-19-08 | | macphearsome: I think white wasted too many moves with its white bishop! most notably 5. Bc4?
just allows black to advance his queen-pawn, developing a bishop and forcing white to play the retreat. |
|
| Jan-01-09 | | YoungEd: Great game by Black, who was on the wrong side of some famous games. To my mind, 9. ...d3 is the star move, clearing the way for the bishop and leaving the pawn fork unaltered. Nice touch at the end, too--the queen move to g5 is to block the g4 pawn, so that it can't avoid a charging Black h5! |
|
| Feb-25-09 | | Bears092: I don't think white should be in any hurry here to take one of the pieces. Maybe 10. Qe1 to cover the f2 square after the king has to move away. (10....Bc5+ 11. Kh1). I don't see a convincing reply. |
|
| Feb-25-09 | | solskytz: Actually the attack is not quite sound. I find ...Ne4 outrageous. This can't work. White castles in the next move, but after that, if he plays Qe1 on the next move rather than taking on g4, he escapes the pin, puts power into the fork, and covers the squares that later become critical, g3 and h4. He should win big material after this. |

 | | Honza Cervenka: <It's hard to see where white went wrong.> Well, it is not so hard I think. 6.e5 is dubious at first glance and 10.fxg4 is a blunder. Instead of that 10.Qe1 leaves black in troubles. |

 | | FSR: Yeah, what Honza Cervenka said - 10.Qe1 is a known refutation. Black has nothing besides 10...Bc5+ 11.Kh1 Nf2+ 12.Rxf2, when White wins two pieces for a rook. Iakov Neishtadt, Catastrophe in the Opening, p. 170. What sneaky pete said, too. Neishtadt, like every other source I've seen, gives this game as Anderssen-Lange, 1859. Some other sources say that White played on with 14.gxh5 Qxf5 15.g4 Rxh5+! 16.gxh5 Qe4! 17.Qf3 Qh4+ 18.Qh3 Qe1+ 19.Kh2 Bg1+ 20.Kh1 Bf2+ 21.Kh2 Qg1#. |
|
| Apr-19-09 | | zdiddy: <FSR> Thanks for posting that alternate finish. I was wondering why white wouldn't just play on, but now its obvious that it was a losing scenario no matter what happened. Why did White delay fxg4 until after the 0-0? To me, that's where things began to go sour. |
|

| | FSR: <zdiddy> White didn't want to see 9.fxg4 Qh4+ 10.g3 (10.Ke2? Qf2+ 11.Kd3 Nc5#) Nxg3 11.hxg3 Qxh1+ 12.Ke2 Qg2+ followed by 13...Qxg3+. |
|
| Oct-11-09 | | jon01: It is a really lovely game. I discovered it after researching the theme of Greco's mate.

There's no hurry on the fork once the queen unpins the pawn. |

| May-08-17 | | zanzibar: <As regards the twentieth-century publication of the game, Mr Anderberg suggests the following as the likely historical sequence: ‘1. In old age Dufresne showed Harmonist this game, around 1890 – “an Anderssen loss”. 2. In 1902 Harmonist showed the game to Nimzowitsch (a student in Berlin) – “an Anderssen loss, handed down by Dufresne”. 3. Nimzowitsch published the game with the proviso that the players’ names were dubious. 4. Lasker removed all trace of doubt about the game’s authenticity. 5. Finally, Bachmann made up “Berlin, 1851?”.’
Toni Preziuso (Chur, Switzerland) also draws attention to Max Lange’s book Der Meister im Schachspiel and provides the relevant text from page 217:> C.N. 3888 |

| Sep-02-19 | | Ulhumbrus: In his book <A golden treasury of chess> I A Horowitz says of this game <It is difficult to imagine how one could concentrate more brilliancy, more inspired inventiveness, more sparkle into so short a game. Here is the distilled essence of the very best chess of the old masters : one thrill after another!> |
