May-15-20 V Hruby vs Paulsen, 1882

rookchat9: This game wouldn't look out of place in a modern day international tournament. Good standard of play being displayed by both players considering it's over a century old. |

rookchat9: Presumably if 46....Bxg4 then 47. Bxg7+ Kxg7 48. Qxg5+ followed by further exchanges and a won endgame for White? |

rookchat9: Presumably he is no longer with us? What a great advert for playing chess, I bet he didn't suffer from dementia even aged 93! |

rookchat9: A double rook sacrifice in that position wouldn’t occur to me in a month of Sundays? It just goes to show how rich a game chess is! |

Mar-04-16 R T Black vs J Bernstein, 1913 
|
rookchat9: For a Ruy Lopez played in 1913 it seems pretty much up to date with modern opening theory - I am impressed with it. Having said that on move 24 I would have tried 24. RxB as it seems Black is way behind in development and then either 25. Bg5 or 25. Rf1 come into reckoning. Anyhow ... |
