8. Nxh8 is very obtuse, as if material were an objective by itself. |

| Feb-05-12 | | King Death: Aren't most of these lines where White plays 5.Nf7 analyzed out to no more than a draw when White doesn't go crazy grabbing material the way he did here? If I ever played this as White for sure I'd play 5.Bf7+ and 6.Bd5 though, that looks like it should get a small plus. At any rate Black doesn't get the kind of game he wants. |

| Feb-05-12 | | ColeTrane: Bxf7 little better chance . . . . |

| Feb-05-12 | | chegado: C'mon, even I can beat this guy.
Chessgames, we can do better than that. |

 | | FSR: White seems to have had a death wish in this game. How <should> White play? My Game Collection: Drawing lines contains five games with the Wilkes-Barre (scrawl down to C57). <King Death> is correct that 5.Bxf7+! Ke7 6.Bd5! is the only good try for advantage - though even there Black scores almost 62% in the database! See Opening Explorer and Opening Explorer White got a winning advantage in Anand vs Beliavsky, 1991, but lost. Karpov could only draw in the same line: Karpov vs Beliavsky, 1983. Maybe Tarrasch was right when he called 4.Ng5 "a duffer's move"? |
|
| Feb-05-12 | | goodevans: This game has some amusement value and the pun is wonderfully apt. <chegado>, you are on dangerous ground. Check out the kibitzing to yesterday's GOTD, Tal vs Eversole, 1988. |
|
| Feb-05-12 | | erniecohen: What happened to the requirement that a game have either historical significance, be from an important tournament, or have at least one highly-rated participant? Each of these players has one game in the database. White walks into a 4-move mate against the Traxler (like that's unusual). Why is this game here? Why is it GOTD? |
|
| Feb-05-12 | | King Sacrificer: I like seeing this game as GOTD. After making a little mind exercise with the insane puzzle, it's good to see something funny and relax. |

White has many options, for example Bxf7 Ke7 Bb3 is fine. Nxf7 is not whithout danger, but white has to play Kf1 after Bxf2.
In the normal 4. Ng5 - d5 line there are many lines where white should be okay more or less. for example 8. Qf3?! is a nice try or 9. Nh3 instead of Nf3. Quite balanced with good results for white. |

| Feb-05-12 | | Rook e2: <In the Evans Gambit the Lasker Defense is a good option, here's a game where Black defends well and his opponent doesn't really get anything: T Harding vs J Elburg, 1989.> Yes the endgame in the Evans Gambit is in many cases in black's favour.. White should try to avoid exchanging pieces.. White should play d4 before castling and if black plays Bb6 attack the bishop with a4.. |

Why, thank you! To scrawl is to write in a hurried, careless way, as I obviously did. As you no doubt surmised, I meant "scroll." |

|
| Apr-20-12 | | Abdel Irada: I'm not sure this game is of sufficient quality to be instructive. White's play was atrocious. |

Probably because this was played in Arkansas. Not that funny IMO. |
