| Dec-12-05 | | chesscrazy: What kind of game is this? As far as I can see, neither of them has an advantage. |
|
| Jan-15-06 | | Necessary Truths: Well... black has a small positional advantage do to white having made three queen moves only to recover a pawn; but you are right, this position is not lost for either side. |
|
| Jul-25-09 | | Sem: I wouldn't mind being White. |
|
| Sep-14-11 | | asianwarrior: No other game in the database similar to this. Would somebody dare to repeat this again? |

 | | perfidious: For another brevity where Gemzoe's opponent saw the light earlier than most mortals, ta-da: J Gemzoe vs L Matibet, 1928. |
|
| Sep-16-11 | | asianwarrior: Were they afraid of Gemzoe that they quit even with no clear winningline. |
|
| Mar-09-12 | | smitha1: There has to be some story about what happened in this game, as well as in J Gemzoe vs L Matibet, 1928, both of which took place at the 2nd Chess Olympiad. Emmanuel Sapira (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanu...) was a very strong Belgian player. I also note that Gemzoe did not set the board on fire at those Olympics. Does anyone have what caused the premature end of these games? |

| Jul-07-23 | | generror: Black shows how to crush your opponent with the Caro-Kann Defensive System. BAM, 1...c6!, BAM, 2...d5!, BAM, 3...cxd4!! Actually, Black could already resign here, because the following moves are forced -- White just *has* to move his queen multiple times to capture that precious pawns, falling into Black's devious trap: first the beautiful zwischenzug 4...e5! and then the merciless culmination: 5...Be6!! In yo face, queen! Stunned, White made on more move before fully realizing after 5...Nf6! the utter hopelessness of his situation, and resigned. Sure, Stockfish doesn't agree, but of course, Stockfish just doesn't get the positional nuances of this incredibly complex position, while it's obvious to Emanuel Sapira -- and any other master-level player, but most of all, it's obvious to me, secretly one of the best chess players of all times even though I'm not even 1200 on chess.com. Or maybe he just felt stupid and frustrated and thought he'd prefer to go outside, get some beer, sit by some canal and enjoy the sun. Wouldn't blame him :) |

 | | beatgiant: The score for this game in Olimpbase is same as here but ends with {(...)} punctuation. This suggests it's probably incomplete, although I don't think that's a standard mark in pgn. |

 | | MissScarlett: Repeat after me - <cg> is the standard. |
|
| Jul-10-23 | | generror: <cg> is the standard [in a hollow, lifeless voice] No really, the good thing about <cg> is that many people here care about historical accuracy and don't just jump any score they found somewhere into the database. |
