Jan-07-06  Autoreparaturwerkbau: I find such ancient games rather naive ... they would match of today's rating around 1500 i guess?
Jan-02-07  Autoreparaturwerkbau: Maybe 27.f4? wasn't the brightest idea afterall.
Jun-23-07  PizzatheHut: Not gonna lie, these old guys were pretty crappy.
Feb-02-08  wolfmaster: Atwood thought he had the game in the bag with all of his pawns... But Cotter struck back and mated him!
Feb-02-08  Gameoverziggy: Never once did Atwood have a winning game blacks active pieces more than made up for the lack of pawns.
Dec-30-09  Whitehat1963: I would love to see some Rybka analysis of some of these old games.
Feb-22-11  beenthere240: Take a piece, take a drink.

  MissScarlett: This game as far as <25. g3> appears in the <CPC>, vol.v (January 1844), p.6. The ending is much snappier: <25...Qh6 26. gxf4 Qxh3+ 27. Kxh3 Rh7# 0-1>.

It's one of several games given upon the introduction:

<Mr. George Walker has favoured us with a few unpublished Games from the Philidorian manuscripts, from which he printed a Volume in 1835. Upon that occasion, the limits to which he had bound down his work prevented him from giving the whole of the Games he possessed.>
