| Jan-31-05 | | ughaibu: When did Lasker play there? |
|

 | | cu8sfan: <ughaibu> I've got to check my book at home. Could be that I erred with Lasker. |
|
| Jan-31-05 | | meloncio: <cu8sfan> I think you know, but I'll tell you anyway. Karlsbad = Karlova Vary today, in czech language. I have been there in the summer of 2002, a wonderful place, but I stayed just one day. |

 | | catlover: <panigma> <Very cool configuration after 28...hxg4.> Yes. It looks like a composed problem: "White to play and lose". :-) |
|
| Jan-31-05 | | jkiipli: amazing, I dont imagine myself playing moves like 7...Qd7, after 13...Kf8 I would have counted my situation much inferior. I probably would have slain the bishop 7...Bxc4 or at least 10...0-0-0
(I'm playing that coward-style chess, heh, maybe I should reteach myself) |

|
| Jan-31-05 | | kevin86: Carl's Bad-I bet the one who came up with that one couldn't tell a cave from a hole in the ground.(lol) Steinitz certainly came up with some strange moves and positions. Here is another game where Steinitz doesn't castle-seemingly an unwanted luxury by him. I do also like the diamond of pawns around black's knight. |
|
| Jan-31-05 | | aw1988: Too bad this wasn't played at Carlsbad, but Vienna. It would add more to the pun... :P |
|
| Jan-31-05 | | patzer2: Stenintz's 29...g3! initiates an instructive deflection mate. |
|
| Jan-31-05 | | cloybloy: So this is why they coined this opening the vienna opening. |
|
| Apr-03-05 | | maxruen: I think Steinitz was really great! Not the greatest, but the first of the real great!! |
|
| Apr-04-05 | | Lawrence: You mean, he was the first of the real great, but not the first of the real real great? |
|
| Apr-04-05 | | meloncio: <Lawrence> Glad to read you again, Lorenzo. And in a good mood as usual. |
|
| Apr-05-05 | | Lawrence: Hi <meloncio>, saludos, haven't been doing much posting lately because I've been spending so much time on art sites, and have started to learn how to paint in my dotage (vejez). Another Grandma Moses--Grandpa in this case. btw, my family name is Humphrey: goes pretty well with your avatar, eh? |
|
| Apr-05-05 | | meloncio: <Lawrence><my family name is Humphrey: goes pretty well with your avatar, eh?> Sure! Bogey has always been my hero. And I think I once saw your face in a 100-dollar bill, but the name was such a Ben Franklin :-D btw, I don't get the pun about <Grandma Moses--Grandpa> Is it a Canadian joke? |
|
| Apr-06-05 | | Lawrence: <meloncio>, no, Grandma Moses was a lady who took up painting very late in life and became famous in North America. |
|
| Apr-07-05 | | maxruen: Dear Lawrence! My use of 'real' was only connected to the notion of reality. Your second real, I think, has a superlative flavor... If so, I "really" don't know, how many one should use to compare Steinitz to Capa, Kaspa, Karp, etc. Isn't that so? A hug for you! |
|
| Apr-07-05 | | Lawrence: Hi, <maxruen>, a warm welcome to <chessgames> from all of us. I see you've already got a game collection--keep up the good work! I'm sure you're going to enjoy it here as much as all the rest of us do, it's such a great site. |

| Apr-14-06 | | MorphyMatt: now thats a pawn storm! |
|
| Jan-29-17 | | Big Pawn: This game seems to forshadow Steinitz's penchant for playing experimental moves during a real game, as well as the materialism that would characterize some of his play after 1873. 10...Bd4 strikes me as a slow move with the aim of pressuring the d pawn. Then the later ...Kf8 is classic Steinitz in that he was of the idea that the King could take care of himself with a few accurate moves. I like looking through Steinitz's early games, before he famously and suddenly became a positional play after Vienna 1873, to see if I can spot instances of things to come. |

| Mar-27-20 | | joddon: first computerised game of 1800s...lol.its like fritz game!! |

| | NM JRousselle: I think a case could be made that Morphy was the 1st real great. |
|
| Jun-08-22 | | AlicesKnight: White's loss of at three tempi around moves 18-20, allowing Black to set the central and K-side pawns going, is striking. |
