 | | cu8sfan: Lol! The puns, the puns! I assume this is just the beginning of another year with great puns. |
|
| Jan-01-06 | | Caro.K.4.me: Wow!
that kid Lange must've hae tak'n too many pint-stowps. <hic!> 11.Rxf8 is so punny!
Beware the Spooky Steinitz Storm!Ooooo!

|
| Jan-01-06 | | weisyschwarz: <Chessgames>, is black Lang or is it Max Lange? I am getting crossed signals. |
|
| Jan-01-06 | | kevin86: I've heard this game referred to as the WILD MUZIO,because white sacs the bishop at f7 as well as the knight at f3. Mr. Lang was either a rank duffer or the most courageous man on earth--accepting the Muzio vs Steinitz! I believe the former,unfortunately. |
|
| Jan-01-06 | | Caro.K.4.me: I misspelled. sorry <weisy> :) I think he was a duffer only they must've played at a pub in those days, all day long in pubs meant drinking lots, it wasn't like organized weekend tournaments nowadays. |
|
| Jan-02-06 | | weisyschwarz: <Caro.K.4.me> it isn't just you, unless you submitted this game, I guess. Even on the board (misty beach--java viewer) it lists black as M. Lange. |

 | | LIFE Master AJ: I used to play over "The Game of the Day" ... every single day. Then - about two months ago - I got out of the habit. (I guess the hectic holiday season? Or maybe any excuse will do.) I just noticed the title of this game. ("Auld Lang Resign.") Bravo! (I laughed out loud!!!) |

| | LIFE Master AJ: Of course the game itself was a massacre. (Great play by Steinitz!) |
|
| Mar-31-06 | | McCool: For a minute there I thought Steinitz didn't know what he was doing. |
|
| Mar-18-08 | | InspiredByMorphy: If your going to play 7. ...fxg2 don't play 8. ...Kxf7 |
|
| Mar-18-08 | | RookFile: The whole game was basically a book line known to Steinitz, before he even pushed the first pawn. |
|
| Mar-18-08 | | brankat: <RookFile> So? If anything, this proves Bobby was right when he called Steinitz "the first modern player." The game also shows young Steinitz was more than capable of playing "open games". |
|
| Mar-18-08 | | blackburne: The black not is Lang. Is Max Lange. Steinitz play a match with Max Lange in Vienna in 1860. |
|
| Mar-13-09 | | outplayer: 11.Rxf8+! was hard to find cause I wanted to win the queen with 11.Rf7+?. I forgot that in those days the masters didn't play for material. |
|
| Mar-13-09 | | apoka: 14...♔c5 is quite an ugly move. Black is under a heavy attach and its Knight is threatened. It would be wise to move it, instead of pushing the king over the board. 14...♘e5 also prevents 15. ♘c4. Overall, that's an interesting game. It appears to be quite random, but most of the moves seem to make sense. :-) Many amateurs may be tempted to play similar moves as Black did here. |

|
| Aug-14-09 | | nd792001: best pun ever |
|
| May-28-10 | | DCLawyer: After playing this game, I checked the moves with Fritz 8. A number of bad errors on both sides. But most disturbing is that points are actually deducted for choosing moves that are at least as good as Steinitz's (e.g., 5.0-0 vs. 5.d4) or that clearly are better (11.Rf2 or 11.Rf3 as opposed to 11.Rxf8?). What's up with that? |
|
| Oct-14-10 | | Spasskyfan22: Stenitz is my kinda dude.. |
|
| Oct-14-10 | | ughaibu: Guess the move score: 40 |
|
| Jul-23-11 | | Owerbart: Anyone saw any alternative to 14 ... Kc5? |
|
| Jan-19-13 | | RandomVisitor: Black has to consider options like 7...Qe7, 7...d5, 7...Qh4, 7...Bh6, 7...d6, 7...Nf6, 7...Qf6 which reduce white's counterplay and likely preserve an advantage. |
|
| Jan-19-13 | | RandomVisitor: Black could give a piece back with possible drawing chances, after sequences like 14...Ne5 15.Bxh6 Qf6; 14...Ng4 15.Qxg4 Ne5; 14...Na5 15.Bxh6 Qf6 |

| Apr-26-21 | | Dhirajk2021: The assault begins from the 8th move!! |

 | | kingscrusher: <RandomVisitor> Incredible that at the time of your post, you didn't mention Ne5 seems to refute White's play. Engines have come a very long way to show refutations of gambits - which is another argument away from the Romantic era of chess and towards slow and steady accumulation of advantages. 9: Wilhelm Steinitz - Lang 1-0 0.0, Casual game Vienna AUH 1860

1. -+ (-2.52): 8.dxe5 Bc5+ 9.Kh1 fxg2+ 10.Kxg2 Nh6 11.Qh5 Rg8+ 12.Kh1 d5 13.Bb5+ c6 14.Qxh6 cxb5 15.Bxf4 Qd7 16.Bg3 Qh3 17.Qxh3 Bxh3 18.Rf6 h5 19.Nd2 h4 20.Nb3 Be3 21.Bf2
Black has a decisive advantage
(Gavriel, 07.05.2024)
It is the act of human research itself to find resources which meant the end of the Romantic era - but for online blitz chess such gambtits are fine :) Steinitz had a good point with his equilibrium theory of chess. |
