| Jan-28-21 | | Z4all: A 1194-rated player drawing Morphy?!
A fairly unknown 2012 paper, presumed to be using computer evaluations only to 13-ply depth to measure player strength?! I had a look, but don't think others really need to (unless interested in IPR/ICR history). Anyways, why mention that paper now?
Even Regan seems to have moved on to other topics (i.e. cheating in chess): http://www.buffalo.edu/news/experts... |

 | | mifralu: < M. Mongredien, the President of the London Chess
Club, and a very fine player, has been lately in Paris, and
played eight games with Mr. Morphy. They were all attentively
studied encounters, and will be published, but they
present this peculiarity, that while in every case they appear
up to the eighteenth or twentieth move equal on both sides,
at about that stage of the game the American by some unexpected
manoeuvre secures the advantage and retains it to the close.
The first game only was a draw, the American won the others. > The Express (London), 18 March 1859, p.3 |
