Feb-21-10		Cushion: No kibitzing on a fine contributor to ending knowledge (rook vs queen)?

Oct-04-10		rapidcitychess: There must be a better game for such a good contributor to chess.

Feb-09-13		Nightsurfer: <rapidcitychess> Your posting - dating from <Oct-04-10> - has motivated me, the notorious <aficionado> of historic chess and of historic chess variants, namely Rene Gralla, to ask the Italian Chess Federation whether there are any winning games by <Giambattista Lolli> that have been recorded. Therefore the press officer of the Italian Chess Federation, Mr. Adolivio Capece (more information about him: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adoliv... ) has been so kind to ask the famous chess historian Mr. <Alessandro Sanvito> (more information about him: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alessa... ) about my research, and then Mr. Adolivio Capece has communicated to me one winning game by <Giambattista Lolli> plus the nice finale of one more winning game by <Giambattista Lolli> that have been communicated to him by the most distinguished chess scholar Mr. <Alessandro Sanvito>. Dear <rapidcitychess>, now you will find the winning game in the data base: C Lolli vs NN, 1750 , thanks to Mr. Adolivio Capece and thanks to Mr. <Alessandro Sanvito>! MILLE GRAZIE!

Jun-22-13		Nightsurfer: It is <250> (!!) years ago - in this year 2013 - that <Giambattista Lolli> has published his famous book <"Osservazioni teorico-pratiche sopra il giuoco degli scacchi"> in 1763. One of the basic constellations that lead to the surrender of the encircled enemy King and that have been analyzed by Maestro Lolli (in his great manual) is an attack by a task-force of Queen, Knight and Rook that begins with the Queen sacrificing Her life for the sake of Her army thus enabling Her Rook to fatally strike at the commander-in-chief of the opposing army. That very <"COUP DE GRACE"> has later been labeled as being <"THE CHECKMATE OF ANASTASIA"> - and today, on <June 22nd, 2013> it is more or less <210> years ago that Maestro Lolli's <"COUP DE GRACE"> by Queen, Knight and Rook has been labeled <"THE CHECKMATE OF ANASTASIA">. Why?! Since it has been German author <Wilhelm Heinse> - more information about him: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhel... - who has chosen Maestro Lolli's <"COUP DE GRACE"> by Queen, Knight and Rook as being the <leitmotiv> of his book <"Anastasia And The Game Of Chess"> thus inventing the label <"THE CHECKMATE OF ANASTASIA"> for that very <"COUP DE GRACE"> by Queen, Knight and Rook that has been analyzed by Maestro Lolli. <Wilhelm Heinse>'s book <"Anastasia And The Game Of Chess"> has been published just a very short time before the author's sad demise on <June 22nd, 1803>, and therefore we are justified to say that we are (more or less) commemorating <The 210th Jubilee of "THE CHECKMATE OF ANASTASIA"> today on <June 22nd, 2013>.

Jun-22-13		Nightsurfer: There are several games in the databank that are showcases of <"THE CHECKMATE OF ANASTASIA"> - and the two games as follows are <blitzkrieg> on the board by swiftly executing <"THE CHECKMATE OF ANASTASIA">: T Voronova vs Vo Hong Phuong, 2000 (13 moves only) and D Steinwender vs R Gralla, 1972 (less than 20 moves).
