| Feb-05-06 | | Autoreparaturwerkbau: After 42...Ba1 and 43...Ba8 I've got the strange feeling like something just exploded... |
|
| Feb-05-06 | | aw1988: LOL, that's a good point, it does kind of look like that. |
|
| Nov-01-07 | | xeroxmachine: HAHAHA! hoho! |
|
| Nov-01-07 | | whiteshark: So where went Berliner wrong ? |
|
| Nov-01-07 | | Riverbeast: He played Fischer, that's where he went wrong. |
|
| Nov-01-07 | | Riverbeast: But seriously, I think 16...Nf6, allowing 17. fxe5 and the passed pawn on d5, was his big mistake. His position looked fine until that point. Maybe the knight belongs on c5? |
|
| May-13-08 | | Atking: <whiteshark: So where went Berliner wrong ?> Once I played 9...Bg4 10.f3 Bf5!? |
|
| Aug-21-08 | | Gregor Samsa Mendel: Here's a game where Fischer gives up his beloved two bishops, and stomps his opponent anyway. |
|
| Sep-12-09 | | WhiteRook48: when he played 1...Nf6, the Alekhine is not advised against Fischer |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Fischer is the only player in the database who defeated Berliner's beloved Alekhine. Perhaps Hans should have challenged him to a friendly game of correspondence. |

 | | offramp: Hans Berliner wrote an incomprehensible book called "The System: A World Champion's Approach to Chess". Berliner was not really a World Champion. He was "World Champion of Correspondence Chess" which is roughly as commendable as being voted Assistant Dog Catcher of Otoe County, Nebraska. <Autoreparaturwerkbau> points out the very unusual ...Ba1, ...Ba8 moves in this game. I've never seen anything like that before. |

Nothing better than being a "World Champion" and leaving out the details in what discipline. I do it myself and all the gullible chicks fall for it. |

| Jul-31-17 | | The Kings Domain: A Fischer game's always a treat. Nothing exciting with this but a fine finish nonetheless. |
|
| Jul-31-17 | | mrknightly: Afraid "Systemic Failure" is a failure as a pun/title/whatever(?) for this game. If we are going to go to this low level of creativity how about "Good Game" or "Bad Game" or "Exciting Game" or "Dull Game." The advantage of using appellations such as these is that they are generic and can be used for a large number of games. |

| Jul-31-17 | | dark.horse: <whiteshark: So where went Berliner wrong ?> 5...exd6 is the safer variation. |
|
| Jul-31-17 | | kevin86: Black cannot stop mate on h6! |
|

 | | HeMateMe: was Berliner really strong enough to be invited to a USA championship? This is a little different than the USSR championships of the 1960s... |
|
| Jul-31-17 | | sachman19: On 32nd move Berliner gone wrong. He should have captured knight with pawn |
|
| Jul-31-17 | | morfishine: Fascinating game, Berliner seems to play like its correspondence, but this is OTB. Berliner certainly had been a very worthy opponent over the years, whether OTB or correspondence. ***** |
|

 | | ajk68: <sachman19: ... He should have captured knight with pawn> No. This allows white to capture the rook with tempo. The attack becomes crushing. After black's obligatory move out of check, white can simultaneously transfer the f1 rook to the third rank while parrying the mating threat. |

| Jul-31-17 | | King Harvest: <Berliner was not really a World Champion. He was "World Champion of Correspondence Chess" which is roughly as commendable as being voted Assistant Dog Catcher of Otoe County, Nebraska. ...> Um, uh... yeah, here's some Assistant Dog Catcher Chess: Estrin vs Berliner, 1965 I believe Andy Soltis gave that game the #1 spot in his 100 best games of the 20th century. So, hmmm... it seems GM Soltis thinks the best game of the 20th century was played in a correspondence chess world championship. Not that I expect that to impress, but still it's not a bad win considering it was played by a fraud intent on little more than fleecing the gullible with his worthless title, eh? |

 | | Sneaky: <an incomprehensible book called "The System: A World Champion's Approach to Chess"> I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it, but I found it very comprehensible and in fact his ideas were incorporated in seminal versions of computerized chess engines back in the 70s. |

 | | tamar: <offramp> has the most memorable phrasing of any chessgames poster. |
|

 | | FSR: No fair! I submitted this pun for Berliner vs Fischer, 1963. It is much more logical for that game, since Berliner's book <The System> claims that White is winning by force (or, at a minimum, close to it) after 1.d4. It makes no sense to attach the pun to a game in which Berliner was Black. |
