 | | beenthere240: I read an an anecdote about a chess master (Burns?) who once threw a game to an amateur, then offered to play at knights odd's - and won, He then explained that removing the knight actually gave him an advantage since he could get the Q rook into play faster! Just messing with the patzer's head, evidently. |

| May-20-04 | | iron maiden: Is there anything that can symbolize Janowski better than the final position? |
|
| May-20-04 | | capanegra: Those Bishops are the classic "Jans" at all their splendor. |
|
| May-21-04 | | brokenman: <Chessgames> when I view this game using Sjkbase I get a weird version of this game which ends on the 13th move. |

|
| Jan-12-05 | | GreenDayGuy: Isn't 12. Rae1 illegal because it would jump over the knight? Or did Janowski play a knight down for some reason? |
|
| Apr-12-05 | | aw1988: They did not say Janowski loved the two bishops without a reason! |
|
| Apr-12-05 | | iron maiden: <GreenDayGuy> It was an odds-game, with Janowsky giving the b1-knight. |
|
| Jan-09-06 | | prinsallan: Fine play here with a Knight down to begin with. |
|
| Apr-11-06 | | MorphyMatt: Nice! |
|
| Jan-04-09 | | WhiteRook48: nice how white chose to sac the queen for a checkmate instead of the bishop. I wonder why only 5. 0-0 is in the sacrifice explorer and not 20. Qxf6+. |
|
| Feb-01-09 | | WhiteRook48: this pun hardly makes sense |
|
| Jul-17-09 | | YoungEd: My memory is hazy, but I think it was in Sergeant's book about Morphy that contains the claim that Black is foolish to accept the Muzio when taking QN odds--almost a forced win for White! Anyway, this is a nice game with a pretty finish even if <Honza Cervenka> is right that there was a better way to go. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: <YoungEd>, I realize that this is almost two years too late, but the version of the (tall tale?) I heard was that Emmanuel Lasker made the claim, but he might have been joking. |

One side playing, the other applauding.... |
|
| Jun-14-11 | | David2009: <WhiteRook48: this pun hardly makes sense> "Buggy" because J's play was flawed: <Honza Cervenka: Pretty mating combination but I think that Janowski's 17.Re5 would not have worked after correct 17...Qd6! Instead of 17.Re5 Janowski could have continued 17.Re8!!, which is crushing>. Re
NN: Off with the paper bag - bring back the stylish and romantic shadow profile! Proper respect to this distinguished, long-lived and never discouraged player (+26 -551 =19 against some of the finest chess minds of the centuries). |

| Jun-14-11 | | erniecohen: <Honza Cervenka: ... Relatively best is probably sac of Queen 17...Qxd5, but after 18.Bxf6+ Rxf6 19.Qxd5 Re6 20.Rxe6 Bxe6 21.Qxb7 white has a decisive advantage. > Much better defense is 19... ♗e6 20. ♕xb7 ♔f7 21. ♖h8 ♔g7 22. ♕xa8 ♔xh8 23.♕xb8+, and black is still breathing. (Of course white still has the decisive advantage that his opponent isn't very good at chess...) |
|
| Jun-14-11 | | kevin86: The pun is based on the fact that white is playing with the odds of a knight;then he sacs the other knight in the Muzio. Also,the Muzio creates another oddity:black has tripled pawns on the f-file. There is a flaw in the queen sac in that it was unnecessary-he could sac the bishop and mate with the queen. |
|
| Jun-14-11 | | KingV93: Fascinating and entertaining game to play through. I don't know just how many blunders Black made but Janowski makes Whites play look like wizardry! |

 | | Phony Benoni: <kevin86> Janowski sacrfice a bishop? Heaven forfend! |

 | | tamar: Janowski hot-rodding around Paris in his newfangled machine. Poor NN kept his horse indoors because of the racket. |
|
| Jun-14-11 | | picard: is 16 ...Qxe1 winning for black? |
|
Jun-14-11
 | | FSR: <picard> Should be. Two rooks and a knight is a lot of wood for a queen. |
|
Jul-30-12
 | | perfidious: Pretty finish, but as pointed out, 16....Qxe1+ looks winning after 17.Bxe1 Nc6. Once Black gets developed with ....Bd7 and ....Rae8, it's his turn to have a go at it. |
|
| Sep-04-17 | | Whitehat1963: Impressive!! |
