| Apr-09-14 | | Poulsen: Black is NOT Aage Ingerslev, but perhaps a somewhat older relative of him. Perhaps Poul Ingerslev - his father?. The Ingerslev's were a doctors dynasty in northern Jutland (part of Denmark) - from there it is not far to travel by ferry to a tournament held in Gothenburg/Göteborg, Sweden. Perhaps the game was played during the Nordic Championship that year - won by Gideon Stahlberg. Can a kibitzer from Sweden verify some of this? A crosstable perhaps? |

|
| Apr-09-14 | | kevin86: A quick game- the black king is "rounded up" like a runaway heifer. |
|
| Apr-09-14 | | paramount: Eero Einar Book contains a centerfold.
Ingerslev just awestruck!!
When he realized, everything just too late. |

Thanks for that piece of info. I assume AaI is a bit younger. |

|
| Apr-10-14 | | Poulsen: <sfm> Aage Ingerslev was born in 1933 - 4 years after this game was played. At around that time Poul Ingerslev establised his doctors praxis in the city of Hjørring. I am - however - only guessing about their relationship - although the surname Ingerslev is unusual - only a few hundred in Denmark has that name. |
|
| Apr-10-14 | | Poulsen: Addition: I have succeded in digging up more info. The young finnish player Book (Böök) indeed participated in the Nordic Championship that year. He played in a subgroup to the championship group. He did not fare well scoring 3/7 in the preliminary - and did not qualify for the finals. There is no mention of an Ingerslev participating - which leads me to believe, that this is a casual game played during the event. |
|
| Apr-10-14 | | Olavi: According to Böök, this game was played in a café on 22.8., the opponent being Vigge Ingerslev, the secretary of the Danish chessfederation. |

 | | offramp: Thanks <Olavi>¡ |
|
| Apr-15-14 | | Poulsen: <Olavi> Great job - thx. I have not yet been able to confirm Viggo Ingerslev's status as secretary, but never mind that. It's not important. But it is nice to known for the sake of chesshistory, that this game is a casual game. |

| Feb-14-21 | | Gaito: A very brilliant and pretty sacrifice of three pieces to demolish the poor defenses of Black's King. Let's take a look at the following position:

WHITE TO PLAY
The first piece sacrifice 15.Nc6! had the purpose of clearing the a1-h8 diagonal for White's bishop on b2. Nevertheless, it was an unnecessary sacrifice (albeit nice and brilliant!). Indeed, White might as well have played 15.Bxh7+! directly. For example: 15.Bxh7+! Kxh7 16.Qh5+ Kg8 17.Nf5! and mate in a few moves is forced, e.g. 17...Nf6 18.Nh6+! (the white knight is sacrificed too, as in the actual game, but on another square!) gxh6 19.Rg3+ Kh7 (see diagram)

White would finish off the game with mate in four: 20.Qf5+ Kh8 21.Bxf6+ Qxf6 22.Qxf6+ Kh7 23.Qg7 mate.
But the mating version played by Eero Einar Böök (1910-1990) was much nicer. Böök was an international master, and later he was awarded the honorary title of grandmaster. He was also an engineer. Maybe Böök and Westerinen have been the two best chess players from Finland, at least so far. |

 | | nizmo11: This game is the game of the month in Bruce Pandolfini's column 'Solitaire Chess' in Chess Life, May 2022.
According to his the introduction, "played in an offhand way" in Gothenburg 1929. |
|

 | | plang: Certainly a fun game. Pandolfini points out that the first sacrifice 15 Nc6 was not really necessary and that 15 Bxh7+ at once would have been sufficient. |
|
| Sep-23-24 | | vajeer: I selected slightly different set of moves which look to be winning convincingly as well
15. Bxh7+ Kh8 16. Nf5 Nf6 17. Rh3 d4 18. Bxd4 Qd5 19. Qg4 Qxg2+ 20. Qxg2 Bxg2 21. Kxg2 Nxh7 22. Bxg7+ Kg8 23. Rg3 giving us the below position

White now threatens Nh6# or Ne7# so black will have to give up knight - 23...Ng5 24. Rxg5 and white is easily winning |

| Sep-23-24 | | mel gibson: I chose the same ply as Stockfish 17:
15. Bxh7+
(15. Bxh7+ (1.Bxh7+ Kh8 2.Nf5 Nf6 3.Rh3 d4 4.Bxd4 Qxd4
5.Nxd4 Bc5 6.Be4+ Kg8 7.Bxb7 Rae8 8.c3 Re5 9.Re3 Ree8 10.g4 b5 11.g5 Nh7
12.g6 fxg6 13.Rxe8 Rxe8 14.Qb3+ Kh8 ) +7.94/45 720) score for White +7.94 depth 45. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Picked the same line as SF 17, then discovered that I already knew the game, so chalk that up to a known puzzle. 6.b4!? reminds me of the Sicilian Wing Gambit. Wonder if this oddball gambit might have actual merit in 2024. |
|
| Sep-24-24 | | Cellist: The position is so strong for White that moves like 15.Rh3 or Rg3 also win, albeit in a more complicated way. |
