Mar-01-17 | | TransfiniteCardinal: OMG what a stunning mother@#$%er of a game - I miss the heroic age of chess where they just rode on to the battlefield and slaughtered each other with gusto. |
|
Mar-01-17 | | ColeTrane: (Morph) so you unapprove of the Cream pun, yet this "pun" is acceptable. Ironic, because by definition this isn't even a "pun".... Wondering which puns of yours made it this far- not trying to be confrontational our disrespectful, with with that last question- it truly is a matter of curiosity now. |

 | | catlover: Excellent GOTD. Spectacular mating combination. <Probably the best game ever played in Houston.> Few people are aware of the fact that Houston was a veritable chess powerhouse in the 1890's. |

Mar-01-17 | | TransfiniteCardinal: What a mind@#$% of a golden age of chessgame - boring @#$%* draws is our @#$% now. |

 | | catlover: <TransfiniteCardinal> Just a neighborly suggestion—you might want to check your keyboard. I think some of your symbol keys might be stuck. |

 | | Plaskett: New In Chess featured the position after 6 Kxf2 Nxe4+ 7 Ke3 on the front cover not so far back.
Computer analysis suggesting this may indeed leave white clearly better in all lines.
Have fun checking that out, guys! |

 | | HeMateMe: <Few people are aware of the fact that Houston was a veritable chess powerhouse in the 1890's.> Ron Henley is from Texas, isn't he? He was Karpov's second in one of his world championship matches. I think Henley has also worked as a securities trader, perhaps in Dallas? |

 | | catlover: <Gypsy><HeMateMe> While I'm certain there are some very strong players from Texas, I was just kidding about Houston being a chess powerhouse in the 1890s. I was trying to play off <offramp>'s humor about the game being played in Houston. |

 | | HeMateMe: Texas does have the best college teams! |
|
Mar-01-17
 | | perfidious: Before Henley came along, Ken Smith was a strong master (and outstanding poker player) from Texass. |

 | | catlover: <HeMateMe: Texas does have the best college teams!> True, especially when you're talking about American football teams. Shucks, in Texas even high school football games are main events! |
|
Mar-01-17
 | | HeMateMe: well, football "is" America in Texas. But, was thinking of the Texas tech and dallas chess teams. The oil companies bring in some VERY strong players and give them scholarships. They're there to become petroleum engineers, chess team is the side line. |

Apr-07-20 | | chessix: great game |
|
Aug-16-20 | | Swapmeet: My favorite move is 14...Bd3+. Like I don’t even HAVE to take your queen even though taking it doesn’t make any difference. Alpha move. |
|
Jul-03-22
 | | takchess: Notes on the traxler 7...b5 is worth a queen ? a position to study. 8...Ne4 is worth giving up the queen due to the mating combinations beginning with 9... would be cool to learn. In fact this whole game is worth memorizing. |
