Nov-01-04 | | Saruman: After 15.Bxd7+ blacks position is just pathetic. He cant even move his king to d8, since 16.Qb8+ Ke7 17.Qe8 mates. Or 15.-Ke7 16.Qb4+ with the same effect. |
|
Nov-19-04 | | aw1988: Detailed analysis of this game will be posted shortly. |
|
Nov-19-04 | | aw1988: In fact, not shortly, give it a bit. But I do promise I will annotate this. |
|
Jan-10-05 | | lronTigran: As opposed to poplar belief, 3. ... Bg4 is not a mistake, annoted as !? in many philidor [defence] works. After 4. dxe5 correct is 4. ... Nc6 with a very interesting, and underanalyzed position. |
|
Jan-10-05 | | themindset: wouldn't that be a simple gambit? |
|
Jan-14-05 | | dac1990: For some reason, I cannot find this game in the Fritz database. How odd. |
|
Jan-15-05 | | sneaky pete: <dac> Try a search with the correct names of the consulting players. Duke Charles of Brunswick (Karl von Braunschweig) and Count Isouard de Vauvenargue. Most sources will have this game with simply Duke of Brunswick and Count Isouard. The Duke is a descendant of Augustus, Duke of Brunswick (1579-1666), author of "Das Schach oder König Spiel " (Leipzig, 1616). |

 | | keypusher: <acirce> -- thanks for the link giving a fresh perspective on this remarkable game! My only quibble: Morphy shuffled off this mortal coil in 1884, not 1883. |
|
Apr-01-05 | | RookFile: What happens after 9.... Na6, with
the intention of 10.... Nc5.
If white plays 10. Bxa6 bxa6, maybe
black can trade queens with 11....Qb4 |
|
Apr-01-05 | | sneaky pete: <RookFile> 9... Na6 10.Bxa6 bxa6 11.Qa4 .. is very unpleasant for black. No exchange of queens, just a bad position with no redeeming features. |
|
Apr-01-05 | | babakova: I have won some simple games thanks to this one; Bc4 Qb3 with attack on b7 and f7 etc...True classic. |
|
Apr-15-05 | | Rimrock: Daniel J King, in the Book <Choose The Right Move> points out that 8. Bxf7+ was played in the Game Tenk-Egert, Brno 1930. It continued 8...Kd8 9. Qxb7 Qb4+ 10. Qxb4 Bxb4+ 11. c3 and White won the ending. King then says 8...Qxf7! is better, continuing 9. Qxb7 c5 10. Qxa8 0-0. |

 | | OhioChessFan: Comments on 2 old posts. Calli, what happened to Edward Winter? I loved what he did on Chesscafe but haven't seen any new material in months. And where is AW1988's promised analysis? |
|
Apr-16-05 | | Calli: <OhioChessFan> Winter is now at http://www.chesshistory.com/ |
|
Apr-16-05 | | WMD: I believe he had a falling out with Hanon Russell. |
|
Apr-19-05 | | PaulLovric: I love that cartoon too<sneaky>. have you seen the tassie devil cartoons? |
|
Apr-19-05 | | RookFile: Ok, I asked what was wrong with
9... Na6, and the answer I get is
10. Bxa6 bxa6 11. Qa4.
So, now, we continue with 11...Qb7.
What is the continuation? |
|
Apr-20-05 | | Boomie: <Rookfile> 11. a3 is a little better than ♕a4. Black may be able to get to a bad endgame.
9... ♘a6 10. ♗xa6 bxa6 11. a3 ♖d8 12. ♖d1 ♖xd1+ 13. ♘xd1 ♕c7 14. ♗xf6 gxf6 15. O-O ♗h6 16. ♕g3 ♔f8 17. ♘e3 ♖g8 18. ♕h4 ♗xe3 19. fxe3 ♖g6 20. ♕xh7 ♕d7 21. ♕h4 ♔g7 22. ♕f2 ♕g4 23. ♕f3 |
|
Apr-20-05 | | RookFile: Yes, I like 11. a3. I think this
does ensure an advantage for white. |
|
May-15-05 | | beastboy: This game is second to the fist place game of Euwe vs. Alexander Alekhine. |
|
Jun-21-05 | | Averageguy: Forgive me, but I do feel that this game is a bit overrated. I do like it, and I do think that it it is a superb winning combination at the end, don;t get me wrong, but I do not think that it deserves all the praise it gets. Black makes a quick mistake in the opening, fails to develop his pieces and gets himself in a bind. Thus, the end is quite inevitable. I like the game, I just do not think it deserves all the praise it gets. |
|
Jun-25-05 | | Fischer of Men: <Averageguy> Morphy did not face very good competition in this game, that much is clear, but it does provide a model demonstrating the diffence between a real player and a beginner. It is difficult enough to defeat the players we should always beat, even more so in the fashion that he did. I ask myself if I can make the equivalent moves of not taking the free b-pawn and of sacrificing the knight in my own games. If not I come back to this game and try to adopt its concepts. I always thought Morphy's games were useful because there are fewer games by modern GMs beating amateur players. |
