Mar-30-11 | | Whitehat1963: Currently atop the Guess-the-Move database's 40 hardest games. Give it your best shot. |

 | | ketchuplover: not too shabby! |
|
Jan-30-16 | | Albanius: Other than the Knight exchanged early, Parr literally "sacked all his pieces" -- to paraphrase Tal in another context -- in the sense that at one time or another he put every piece en prise or declined to recapture!
On move 29 Parr offers a Q, R or B at once!
IMHO Chernev and Reinfeld remain well-justified in their assessment. |

 | | ChessHigherCat: I bet 9 out of 10 players would have played 16. Bb4 and been proud of finding it, but SF confirms that 16. Nxe4 is significantly better. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: For 30 moves, Frank Parr became the finest chess player in history. Only 30 moves might not seem like much, but that's 29 better than I ever did. |

 | | perfidious: <sfm: Black was at disadvantage from the beginning. After completing writing his name on the gamescore (he) was already short of time.> Excellent point.
<Whitehat1963: Currently atop the Guess-the-Move database's 40 hardest games....> Small wonder.
<...Give it your best shot.> Would not have nailed this problem in five lifetimes. Remarkable combinative tour de force by the English master. |

Jul-15-18 | | Onsey Seyon: me like the double bishop pincer through the board center. Combined with the passed d pawn it soon became Wheatcrofts kings doom. At least in this game. That is a nice thing about the chess play, lose one game, then set the men to the starting position for a whole new game! A clean slate, another chance to triumph, or go down to the stinky defeet! soon to be redeemed--or damned. What fun! |

Jul-15-18 | | OrangeTulip: Thanks Chessgames.com for bringing this
beautiful game in the spotlight!
For some reason Soltis did not select this game in his 100 best games of the 20st century |

Pity Black never allowed the mate after the Queen sac.  click for larger viewKind of final position you get tattooed on your chest and strip to the waist when discussions about great games of chess take place on the bus. *** |
