Jan-09-08 | | whiteshark: Spielmann at his best. |
|
Apr-16-08 | | YoungEd: The star move, I think, is 13. Ba3. I never would have thought of it, though once you see the queen on the long diagonal, you know something good will happen for white! |
|
Dec-18-09 | | zanshin: White to play, move 16 - it seems Spielman's sac is sound: click for larger view [+6.46] d=14 16.Nxg7 (0:17.04) 23350kN |

 | | tpstar: <altai> Welcome to the site. =) The primary threat is 20. Bd3+ Kh6 21. Bc1#. 19 ... Nxh5 doesn't work due to 20. Bxh5+ Kh6 21. Bc1#, and the Ng8 can't help defend (20 ... Ne7/Nh6) due to 20. Qxf6#. Off day for Nimzowitsch. Curious how the Sacrifice Explorer classifies 13. Ba3 as a Rook sacrifice when it's really an exchange sacrifice. |
|
Mar-13-11 | | Open Defence: White has a mating attack,
e.g.
if 19...Kh6 then 20.Bc1+ Kg6 21.Qg5#
the longest Black can avoid mate is trying to give up his Queen but White need not take it immediately and still has a mating attack in the line: 19...Qd7 20.Bd3+ Bf5 21.g4 Rfe8 22.Bxf5+ Qxf5 23.Qxf5+ Kh6 24.Rxf6+ Nxf6 25.Qxf6# |

Feb-01-12 | | RookFile: Games like this teach you that there are many positions where you don't want that dark squared bishop to take on a1, even if it is a rook. LONG before files matter in this game, diagonals were critically important. |

 | | gezafan: You simply cannot play this way against Spielman! |
|
Jul-30-16 | | erimiro1: Your system? My system! |

 | | Octavia: in 1905 Nimzowitsch withdrew from chess for a year to study it! |

 | | FSR: The sample size is small, but Opening Explorer shows that Black scores horribly with 5...e5, and very well with 5...h5 and 5...g6. |

 | | OhioChessFan: I can't decide if the pun is good or bad, but it's really amusing either way. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: A brilliant pun that describes a brilliant game. You cannot ask more of a Game of the Day title than this. Perhaps CG could have saved this for the holiday season. |
|
Aug-14-20 | | castlemindng: a wonderful piece of game. I don't know who would love it. i actually took time to make a nice video with this beautiful game https://youtu.be/xfOUEkneukg |
|
Aug-14-20 | | jith1207: Brilliant. Both the game and the pun.
<RookFile>: Xmas is here. |
|
Aug-14-20 | | thegoodanarchist: Finally, a GOTD between 2 players I've heard of! |

 | | keypusher: Here's a little bit about this match, which I had never heard of. Game Collection: Nimzowitsch - Spielmann 1st Match (Munich 1905) |
|

 | | offramp: Aron Nimzowitsch was about 26. Spielmann was only 23!
Nimzo got pwned. That is the only word for it. |
|
Aug-14-20 | | goodevans: <LivBlockade> Well, thanks to you I've had that annoying little tune as an earworm for about 8 hours now. Every time I try to get rid of it it finds its way back just a few minutes later. Thank you so much. |

 | | offramp: <goodevans: <LivBlockade> Well, thanks to you I've had that annoying little tune as an earworm for about 8 hours now...> The earworm I get is a parody version called "Dirty Jingle Bells", which is so calamitously naughty that I can't say any more about it. |
|
Aug-14-20 | | newzild: Lots of people calling this a pun.
It's not a pun. |
|
Aug-15-20 | | JimNorCal: A ... palindrome? |
