| Apr-23-04 | | InspiredByMorphy: <BLD9801> <Lawrence> : I apologize. Thank you for the game, I had not seen it yet. I should look a little more before opening my mouth, as I could have found it through the opening explorer. Sorry BLD, thanks Lawrence. |
|
| Apr-23-04 | | InspiredByMorphy: <Lawrence> Regarding the game you provided, do you think Morphy would have had better results with 2.f4 ? |
|
| Apr-23-04 | | Lawrence: <Inspired>, looks like Morphy played the right move. See evaluations at the other game page. |

| Oct-09-04 | | LIFE Master AJ: Please check out this link: http://www.angelfire.com/games4/lif... The game is close annotated. Please send me an e-mail, and tell me what you think. |
|
| Oct-13-05 | | Averageguy: A brilliant game by Morphy. LMAJ does a very good analysis of this game on his web page. |
|
| Mar-26-06 | | sneaky pete: <Barnes could do little after Ne5.> He could have tried 13.Bg5 .. as suggested by Sergeant. After 13... Nxf3+ 14.gxf3 Qxg5 15.fxg4 .. however 15... 0-0-0 and if 16.cxd4 h5 looks very strong. |
|
| Jul-19-06 | | notyetagm: A brilliant example of the <Morhpy/Pillsbury Mating Pattern>, with the bishop on the long diagonal a8-h1 and the rook on the open g-file. |
|
| Mar-19-07 | | SirBruce: Actually, Barnes went wrong with 13.Bxa8. I played a Barnes personality in Chessmaster today, where I had trimmed opening books where Barnes blundered. Instead of 13.Bxa8, Chessmaster came up with 13.Bg5, which equalized the position. After 13...Qxg5 14.Nxg5 Bxd1 15.Bxa8 Be2 16.cxd4 Bxf1 17.Rxf1, things looked very even. |

| Sep-27-08 | | sneaky pete: Sergeant, Morphy's Games of Chess, page 246:
"... published in <Brentano>, December 1881, where it is said to have been taken from the first number of a new German magazine, <Vom Fels zum Meer>."Sergeant, Morphy Gleanings, page 107:
"This game is put by Lange and Maroczy in the appendix, indicating their doubts as to its genuineness. Mlotkowski shares their doubts, saying it is too good not to have been published at the time, instead of years later. Mason and J.G. Cunningham (B.C.M., August and September, 1893) argue vigorously and conclusively against its authenticity." |

 | | MissScarlett: <The next chess magazine produced in America could have been a big international success if it had been a little bit less ambitious, and more soundly based financially. <Brentano's Chess Magazine>, begun in May 1881, had sprung from a chess column in a general magazine, <Brentano's Monthly>. The editor was H.C. Allen, with G. Reichhelm in charge of the games department, J.N. Babson of the problem department, and they also had the services of an artist, G.R. Halm, so that this magazine was better illustrated than the norm for chess periodicals. It was far too lavishly produced. Initially this magazine was on a grand scale never seen before, but the publishers gave too much value for money. There were over 620 pages in the first volume but the second volume of <Brentano's Chess Magazine> was much skimpier. The magazine collapsed after the August-September 1882 number, having lasted less than a year and a half.> (British Chess Literature to 1914: A Handbook for Historians; Tim Harding; McFarland; 2018) Examples of the chess column in <Brentano's Monthly> are here: http://www.chessarch.com/excavation... The first volume of <Vom Fels zum Meer> is online, but it's not in the public domain in the UK: https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Reco... |
|
| Jul-12-18 | | sneaky pete: Hmmm. That first issue of the first volume of <From Fels zum Meer> was published in October 1882, so how can <Brentano> issue December 1881 have taken a game from that source? Was Sergeant drunk? |
|

| | MissScarlett: Try the 3rd and 4th entries. |
|
| Jul-12-18 | | sneaky pete: That's a good tip. So the invented game was in V.-1 on page 121, the only Morphy reference in that volume. If that first number had a page 121, it must have been a quite expansive magazine. |
|

| | MissScarlett: <on page 121, the only Morphy reference in that volume> Yes, but no mention of <Barnes>. We need an American... |

|
| Jan-06-22 | | sneaky pete: The introduction in VFzM states that a certain "Dr. Lange" supplied the score, and the game was played in 18<7>8 "between the American and an English master of the first rank". The year looks like a typo, so Sergeant and others changed it to 1858, while not questioning poor Max Lange as a source. |

| | OhioChessFan: Just looking at the Pun Submission Page, the GOTD Archive link is at the bottom, amidst much other verbiage. Maybe highlight it at the top of the page where it can't be missed, and appeal to the submitters to check it before submitting. |
