Kibitzer's Corner
Oct-26-15  TheFocus: This consultation game was played in Paris, France on May 23, 1933.

Two consultation games were organized by the chess patron Lucien de Villeneuve, who also contributed the purse.

See <La Strategie 1933>, pg. 182.

May-22-18  zanzibar: Strange game at the end...

e.g. 36...Ne6 is a losing move for Black, but 36...Rxf2 draws. Black gets to choose.

Lester W. Brand's article "Mistakes of the Masters" <Chess Review (Mar 1934) p43> notes the final position:

Which of the two consultation games was played first?

<The game was abandoned as drawn in this position. White could have won with RxRP, After forcing the exchange of one or both of the Black rooks White will proceed to win Black's badly placed KB pawn. The student should work out the variations for himself.>

Aside - the correct pair of players are given for both colors.
