| Aug-06-04 | | macphearsome: That's a pretty funny ending... king just keeps on running towards the enemy... looks like the kind of game I'd play, except MY king would've killed the queen and delivered the mate single-handedly. |
|
| Aug-06-04 | | notsodeepthought: White to black, after the game: "Not Gud,ju."
(say what you will, but I really don't think that "Janny from the block" is a better pun...). |
|
| Aug-06-04 | | HailM0rphy: f6 was prob a little to greedy..and the king -flying- down the a1 a8 diagonal is just messing around. Thats probly a record for speed in a king march before move 40.. Not even Ed Lasker can touch this ;) Deep must not be from the U.S because anyone who knows who jlo is would agree that there couldn't be a better pun ;) |
|
| Aug-06-04 | | ArturoRivera: All moves from black since move 16 were forced!, this is a pretty good game about sacrifices, and god, black King must be really tired for all that march! |
|
| Aug-06-04 | | checkpat: 11..Na5 was probably the mistake...
Would Qe7 hold? |
|
| Aug-06-04 | | white pawn: Could someone please explain the idea of 4.b4 to me please? I've seen this numerous times in games, and I don't understand it. The only reason I can think of is to gain time, but is it really worth a ♙? Also, is there anyway for Black to refute that? Because every time I see that type of position, Black always takes the ♙ with his ♗, and white always plays c3. If it is such a good move, you'd think Black would just not put his Bishop in that position. Thanks for any replies... |

| Aug-06-04 | | Zenchess: White sacrifices the P to get a stronger center, a Qb3/Bc4 battery, and sometimes a B on a3 stopping Black from castling. The pawn break e5 in this game is typical to bring the Nf3 to e5 and increase the pressure on f7. I suggest you study master games for yourself and work out the idea; Adolf Anderssen, one of the strongest players in the world between 1850 and 1875, played this a lot.

| Aug-06-04 | | notsodeepthought: <HailM0rphy> True, I'm not from the US, but I'm not criticizing JLo - chessplayers have long appreciated her sacs appeal... |
|
| Aug-06-04 | | kevin86: After white gave up her bishop,it seemed the attack was dying-but it was the eye of the storm-as the fury rose and rose. A neat chase of the black king to the southwest corner! |
|
| Aug-06-04 | | themindset: dxe5 was the mistake, black was winning after Na5 |
|
| Aug-06-04 | | Zenchess: themindset, Black's N is already on a5. |
|
| Aug-06-04 | | PawnBlock: I'm from the US and don't get the pun.
*shrug* maybe I should change my handle to "JLo shma-low" |
|
| Aug-06-04 | | white pawn: Check this game out please <Zenchess>... Adolf Anderssen vs Lowenthal, 1851 The idea behind 4.b4 is to create a stronger pawn center right? What's the idea behind castling, after 5...exd4 ? What if 6...dxc3 ? Wouldn't White's structure be awful after that? |
|
| Aug-06-04 | | Zenchess: After 7...dxc3 8. Qb3 Qf6 9. e5 Qg6 10. Nxc3 Nge7 11. Ba3 O-O 12. Rad1, Black is two pawns up, but White has all his pieces out, while Black still has to get his R's and B's out. It is difficult for him to do so because White's Pe5 is keeping Black from going ...d6 and getting his B out. White's Ba3 is pinning the Ne7 to the Rf8, so it can't move. Either the Qg6 or Rf8 must guard f7. If you are curious about a position, you can use the Opening Explorer and that will answer many of your questions. Opening Explorer
The idea behind castling in this line, like many other old gambits, is to sacrifice material for development and sometimes space. White's pawn structure is sound because there is no way for Black to get at the isolated P's. |

| Aug-06-04 | | Nickisimo: Why not 10...♗xf3?, is the value of a bishop so great that it's not worth a knight and just obliterating White's kingside pawn structure? 10...♗d7 was so passive. 11...♘a5 wasn't SO bad, but his decision to keep moving his king away from his defense in a strict materialistic mindset cost him. I think if 10...♗xf3 11. gxf3 ♕f6 and an eventual 12...O-O-O and 13...♘d7 would have been very strong for Black. |
|
| Aug-06-04 | | sneaky pete: <Nickisimo> 10... Bxf3? 11.d5 .. gives white a strong attack. See Kolisch vs Maude, 1860; E Thorold vs J Watkinson, 1861; Kolisch vs J Schulten, 1862; M Noakh vs Fishzon, 1937.
Black should have played 14... Kf8 or 14... h6 15.d5 Nf6 with good defensive chances. This is all 19th century theory.
Use the opening explorer to find the relevant games. |
|
| Aug-06-04 | | Zenchess: Note that Black not only fails to cripple White's K-side pawn structure, he himself loses the right to castle in sneaky pete's line. |
|
| Aug-06-04 | | Phoenix: I'm from the U.S as well and had no clue what the pun was about! |
|
| Oct-31-04 | | morphy234: hahah!! the funniest game I've ever seen! |
|
| Oct-31-04 | | iron maiden: Hilarious. Ranks right up there with Edward Lasker's king-hunt a few years earlier. Actually, I think White might have sacrificed even more material than in that game. |
|
| Jan-20-09 | | WhiteRook48: great sacrifices. |
|
| Jan-31-09 | | WhiteRook48: wow, sac, sac, sac, sac, win. Like how Anderssen and Morphy play! |
|
| Jul-17-09 | | WhiteRook48: sacing like a madman |
|
| Jul-28-09 | | WhiteRook48: 22...Bxf2+ 23 Rxf2  |
|
| Dec-07-10 | | Xeroxx: lol... |
