May-21-13  Nerwal: One of those games from the old days that got a brillancy prize, yet is full of mistakes, sometimes quite primitive (I would expect a 2200 player of today to attack more accurately as white, and at least to save the game as black at move 27). The game is still entertaining to see though.

  Phony Benoni: There is an alternate score for this game, with differences from move 4-16:

1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 Be7 5.Nf3 Nd7 6.Bd3 Ngf6 7.0-0 Nxe4 8.Bxe4 Nf6 9.Bd3 0-0 10.Qe2 a6 11.c3 c5 12.dxc5 Bxc5 13.Ne5 Qc7 14.Bf4 Nd5 15.Bg3 Qe7 16.Rad1 h6 17.c4 Nf6 18.Bb1 b6 19.Qc2 Re8 20.Ng4 Kf8 21.Nxf6 Qxf6 22.Qe4 Ra7 23.Be5 Qf5 24.Bxg7+ Kxg7 25.Qc6 Bb7 26.Qxe8 Qg4 27.Rd5 exd5 28.Qe5+ Kf8 29.Bf5 Qg5 30.h4 Qg8 31.Qb8+ Kg7 32.Qxa7 Bc8 33.b4 Bxb4 34.Qxb6 Bxf5 35.Qxb4 dxc4 36.Qxc4 Qa8 37.Re1 Qb7 38.Qd4+ Kg6 39.Re3 Qb1+ 40.Kh2 Kh5 41.Qf6 Qb8+ 42.Re5 1-0

Our current score appeared in "Algemeen Handelsblad" , June 30, 1906, p.p7c. The alternate score is from Gillam's "Ostend 1906", game 228, page 309, and was constructed from variant scores in "La Strategie" and "New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung (July 30, 1906).

My instinct is that Gillam's move order is more likely, but not so strongly as to merit a correction here.,

  Honza Cervenka: Instead of 29...Qg5 it was better to play 29...Qd4 with idea 30.Qb8+ Bc8! 31.Bxc8 Re7 32.Bxa6+ Re8 etc.
Dec-04-18  sudoplatov: Black's ...a6 and ...b6 lose time; White has 19.b4 which wins a Rook at least.

19....Re8 is a mistake; 19....Bc7 seems to hold.
