Dec-08-04  Knight13: Knight is better than Cassar for sure. Interesting game!
Mar-28-05  aw1988: Cassar won, not Knight.
Mar-28-05  THE pawn: The king should have taken the bishop.
Mar-29-05  Milo: Indeed...
Mar-29-05  a s azzopardi: Interesting short game! I am very curious to know whether 'CASSAR' is a Maltese player. Can someone inform me if it is so. Also is it possible to obtain his full name? Thanks.

  keypusher: The Malta chess newsletter linked here mentions one Horace Cassar, rated 2019. No idea if it is the same man, though.

Mar-29-05  a s azzopardi: Thanks for your info. I think you are perfectly right. The correct full name is HORACE CASSAR. I thought it was F.X.CASSAR who apart from being a player of my time is today a distinguished lawyer. Well done!!
Jul-18-08  warstreet: I am Horace, and can tell you it was not me who played that game, I wasn't even born ! I guess the player was Mario Cassar, It is the only player I can think of.
Jul-18-08  Calli: White is Francis X Cassar according to http://www.365chess.com/players/Fra...
Jan-25-09  WhiteRook48: where's Knight's Knights? Oh, they're over there. Knight is an interesting name. Oh forget about the puns... I can't
Mar-05-10  Cushion: If kxf7 the 8. Ng5+ Kf6 9. e5+ dxe5 (Kf5 10. Qd3+ Kg4 11. h3+ Kh4 12. g3+ Kh5 13. Qe2+ Kh6 14. Nf7#) 10. fxe5+ Kf5 11 O-O+ Bf3 11. Rxf3+ Kg4 12. Rf8+ Kh4 13. g3#. Would make a nice Tuesday puzzle.
Jun-25-13  RookFile: It's nice that the bishop on b7 was admiring the view.
