 | | Black Vampire: Well, True Blue, 11.Qb5+ was the first important mistake, but the real blunders were the captures of both of the Black rooks and the pawn b7. |
|
Feb-19-07 | | Themofro: Easy puzzle to start off the week, main difficulty is to do away with Bb4+ which would also win i beleive, but the queen sac is much more elegant. |
|
Feb-19-07 | | tjshann: I got to this late today, but did manage to solve it after realizing fairly quickly that discovered check did not lead to a clear Monday one-two and out. |
|
Feb-19-07 | | kulitbulilit: Who is NN!!? Why wasn't his name given in full? Will somebody tell me please! I'm intrigued! |
|
Feb-19-07 | | LPeristy: Took me a rediculously long time, as I was fixated on trying to get something out of the disco check. But I did get it eventually. |
|
Feb-20-07 | | Tactic101: This double rook sacrifice and Queen sac definately was much safer than Anderssen's Immortal Game. |
|
Jan-18-09 | | WhiteRook48: NN takes too many sacrifices... |
|
Nov-28-11 | | IRONCASTLEVINAY: NN means anonymous. |

Mar-02-12 | | Infohunter: <kulitbulilit: Who is NN!!? Why wasn't his name given in full? Will somebody tell me please! I'm intrigued!> <IRONCASTLEVINAY: NN means anonymous.> Correct; the abbreviation is derived from the Latin "Nomen nescio," which means, "I do not know the name." |

 | | al wazir: How could Diemer have played a correspondence game with someone whose name he didn't know? Before the Internet existed you had to send moves *by mail*. For this it is necessary to have a mailing address. How could Diemer have obtained the address of his opponent without learning the name too? |

 | | offramp: Today's game was chosen as a special welcoming gift to our latest member User: DerDiemer, I am sure you will all join me in congratulating him on his excellent decision. |

 | | offramp: <al wazir: How could Diemer have played a correspondence game with someone whose name he didn't know?> It's a mystery. I made exactly the same point at Zukertort vs Chess Club, 1868. |
|
Jul-11-18 | | paavoh: Who would want to give his/her name and be immortalized after such a disaster? Perhaps Black/the magazine editor was polite enough to remove the name before publishing the game score. |

 | | takchess: For those who like double rook sacs.Game Collection: Take My Rooks by Minev and Seirawan. Also I have to start playing the elephant gambit. |
|
Jul-11-18 | | morfishine: 'NN' is better known for his remarkable longevity having lost games in 7 centuries |

Jul-11-18 | | BornAmish: <For those who like double rook sacs.Game Collection: Take My Rooks by Minev and Seirawan. Also I have to start playing the elephant gambit.> I played a guy once in the Chicago Open who "offered" his rooks, but I only took the first one & retreated back and eventually won easily. He asked me after why I didn't take both of them (and referenced he studied, Take My Rooks), so I told him, "Why be greedy? I've already got a material advantage." All that study wasted on the assumption both rooks would be taken. |
