Apr-08-06		korger: <Calli: I have a draw he played against Capablanca in a 1911 simul. The name given is "K. Zambelly". Does Maroczy give a first name?> Károly Zámbelly, if I recall correctly (I haven't read that book for years). That sounds like him, all right.

Apr-08-06		Calli: <korger> Thank you very much!

Jun-09-06		FENfiend: nicely played!

Sep-19-07		sambo: Definite game of the day candidate.

Jan-17-08		MorphyMatt: Talk about castling into it!

Mar-07-10		An Englishman: Good Evening: I wonder how many of the CG gang are familiar with the reference to The Big Bopper.

Mar-07-10		SugarDom: We're clueless dude. Can you explain?

Mar-07-10		Nightranger: < Good Evening: I wonder how many of the CG gang are familiar with the reference to The Big Bopper. > I am if it's Chantilly Lace.

Mar-07-10		sfm: Wow! 21.-,Rxb5!! 22.-,Rh5!!

Mar-07-10		randomsac: What a bloody way to end the game.

Mar-07-10		goodevans: <An Englishman: Good Evening: I wonder how many of the CG gang are familiar with the reference to The Big Bopper.> I'd hitherto only associated the song with Jerry Lee Lewis. Well, you learn something new every day, especially on CG.com!

Mar-07-10		waustad: You know what I like!

Mar-07-10		thegoldenband: Two questions: 1. If any <Chessgames.com> admin are reading, d'you suppose we could update the game listing with Zámbelly's full name, and the fact that it was correspondence? ("Dopisna" is definitely "correspondence", as others have indicated.) 2. What's the last point where Zámbelly could've forestalled checkmate, ot even saved the game? I wonder if the final nail in the coffin is 17. d3?, but I'm unsure.

Mar-07-10		Once: Well, I just had to google it: Hello baby, yeah, this is the Big Bopper speaking Oh you sweet thing Do I what Will I what Oh baby you know what I like Chantilly lace and a pretty face And a pony tail hanging down That wiggle in the walk and giggle in the talk Makes the world go round There ain't nothing in the world like a big eyed girl That makes me act so funny, make me spend my money Make me feel real loose like a long necked goose Like a girl, oh baby that's what I like What's that baby But, but, but, oh honey But, oh baby you know what I like Chorus What's that honey Pick you up at 8 and don't be late But baby I ain't got no money honey Oh alright baby you know what I like Chorus

Mar-07-10		WhiteRook48: 19 dxe4 looks safer

Mar-07-10		TheaN: The ending position is...... typical... I've seen something similar after a Danish opening where only one Knight mates Black (it's actually in the 'Complete e4' opening's book but without a reference, does anyone know it?).

Mar-07-10		sfm: <WhiteRook48: 19 dxe4 looks safer> But the bill is still unpayable.

Mar-08-10		kevin86: King chase resulted in a "Zambelly-ache"

Jul-24-10		Phony Benoni: <TheaN: I've seen something similar after a Danish opening where only one Knight mates Black (it's actually in the 'Complete e4' opening's book but without a reference, does anyone know it?).> A little late, but were you thinking of this game: F Young vs L Dore, 1892

Nov-24-10		sevenseaman: Bold sacrifices and relentless pursuit of the objective finally brings in the win. It looks a very Pyrrhic victory but it is one of enduring beauty.

Nov-24-10		sevenseaman: < Phony Benoni> and <TheaN> Young Vs Dore game under your reference uses a smother mate, in which most of the time only a night is left and is enough in the mating position.

Apr-01-12		Infohunter: <sevenseaman: < Phony Benoni> and <TheaN> Young Vs Dore game under your reference uses a smother mate, in which most of the time only a night is left and is enough in the mating position.> Yes: The main thing that this game and F Young vs L Dore, 1892 have in common is that in each case the winning side has left one piece, and one piece only (other than the King), with which checkmate is delivered. I suppose I could go a little further in giving the benefit of the doubt here by saying that the winner of each game played a daring opening gambit. But outside of those two things, this game is quite distinct from the other one in question.

Aug-30-22		Whitehat1963: Wild game!

Aug-31-22		Captain Hindsight: Even stronger would have been the move < 16 ... Bb7+!! > click for larger view e.g. < 17 Kxg4 Qh2 18 d4 h5+ 19 Kf5 Re8 20 Bxe8 Rxe8 > click for larger view # in 6

Nov-01-22		FSR: The finish is a bit reminiscent of S Bouaziz vs Miles, 1979, another game where mate is effected by queens and pawns, the only pieces (other than the king) that Black has left.
