| Sep-30-07 | | heuristic: I read an interesting article that pointed out the main difference between past and present masters is in the endgame. The endgames of past masters have more mistakes here than
in other parts of the game. Hoping to improve my endgame technique, i decided to look at endgame mistakes of historical games. White lost a won game due to a flawed endgame strategy. 18.Ne6 seems better
18.Ne6 fxe6 19.Bxc5 Re8 20.f4 Ng4 21.Nb1 exd5 22.Nc3 Qd7 19...f5 overlooks
20.Ne6 Bxe3+ 21.fxe3 Qe7 22.Nxf8 Rxf8 23.Nd4
22.Rhf1 seems better
22...Qf8 23.Bxf6 Qxf6
27...Nxh1 seems better
28.Rxh1 b6
Giving up the Rook for the pawn isn't the right strategy.
Better is 31.Rg5 e3 32.N5d4 Nf2 33.Nxa5 h2
Better is 32.Re3 h2 33.Re1 g5 34.Nd6 Rf8
34.Kc1 loses immediately, a KNT needs to stop the pawn.
34.Nd4 Rc7 35.N6f5 etc ...
35...Ng1 secures the win. 36.Ke1 Rf2 37.Nd4 Rd2 38.N6b5 g5 |

 | | offramp: I doubt that the Weekly Northern Whig is still published. If it is - I apologise. |
|
| Nov-01-13 | | RookFile: No doubt Morphy would look at a game like this and smile. He could probably have taken either side of this at various points and navigated it towards a win for his side. |

 | | FSR: <offramp> The <Weekly Northern Whig> was reportedly discontinued after World War II began. http://www.rascal.ac.uk/index.php?C... btw, <Whig> apparently has quite a few different meanings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whig |

 | | al wazir: What happens after 26. d6 ? Can black stop the passed d-P? If 26...Bf5, then 27. Rhf1, and after that I suppose 27...Bd7 28. c5 e3 29. Rfe1 or 27...e3 28. d7 Bxd7 29. Rxd7 e2 30. Re1. |

| Nov-01-13 | | Bob Loblaw: <al wazir> Looks like d6 was the move alright.
I downloaded the pgn and ran it through Fritz, who came with this as best play 26. d6! ♗e3+ 27. ♔b1 ♘xd1 28. ♖xd1 ♗f5 29. g6! ♗f2 30. ♘d5 e3 31. ♘e7 ♔f8 32. ♘d4 ♗a4 33. ♘xc8 ♗xc8 34. c3 with a winning game for white. |

| Nov-02-13 | | kevin86: This time the "Austrian Morphy" goes down and goes down hard. The winner doesn't even bother to rescue his rook. |

|
| Jun-11-17 | | clement41: One ´d almost Forget that such things can happen to world champs, too. Nice dynamic Play by black. |
|
| Jun-11-17 | | The Kings Domain: Good game from the olden days, well played by black with a nice exquisite finish. Sometimes the best puns are the most glaringly obvious ones. :-) |

| | offramp: <clement41: One ´d almost Forget that such things can happen to world champs, too. Nice dynamic Play by black.> Quite right. Fischer said it best.... "That's chess. One day you give the guy a lesson, another day he gives you a lesson." Isn't it great that he didn't mention defeats, just lessons? That's a lesson in itself. I suppose the phrase could apply to other sports. Even the Harlem Globetrotters were beaten every now and then, but I suppose they didn't learn much. |
|
| Jun-11-17 | | morfishine: Alas, if 36.Nd4 to stop 36...e2, then 36...Rf1# oops Steinitz probably gave his whiskers a furious going over ***** |

 | | dorsnikov: I am in total amazement of how an "Also Ran " like Burden just cleaned Steinitz's clock, as they say! Simply amazing ! |
|
| Jun-11-17 | | morfishine: <dorsnikov> If you really pushed yourself, you could utilize and implement the over-worked and nauseating word 'amazing' multiple times over I have faith in you

| Jun-12-17 | | kevin86: Steinitz goes down in flames! Remarkable! |
|
| Jun-12-17 | | Howard: Well, let's kindly bear in mind that Steintz was only about 26 when this game took place. Ya think he'd have been blown off the board like this, say, ten years later ? |
|
| Jun-12-17 | | WorstPlayerEver: Well, Burden was 'only' 32. May I have another one, sir? |
|

 | | MissScarlett: Harding's book on Steinitz gives the <Field> of July 12th as the first publication, which said the game "came off a few days ago", so the July date is probable.<Bachmann> and <Pickard> improbably have <35...Ng5>. |
