| Jun-29-12 | | sevenseaman: Its always a pleasure replaying the classics.
Its a bit of a disillusionment that after all the pyrotechnics up until middle game is over, we are left with the elementary P promotion end game. |
|
| Jun-29-12 | | think: I love games like this where so many pyrotechnics happen in the midgame and the winner ends up with a tiny advantage that is barely enough to take home the point. Crazy game! |
|
| Jun-29-12 | | Llawdogg: I remember this one! It's great to see the classics again. |
|
| Jun-29-12 | | TheBish: Amazing to see an old-fashioned swashbuckling game turn into an elementary pawn-plus endgame. Looking up, I notice that <sevenseaman> said basically the same thing! |

 | | FSR: As prior commenters have observed, 10...Rf8! is better, as in B Wall vs T Magee, 1980 (0-1, 20). |
|
| Jun-29-12 | | King Death: I never heard of Bertin, isn't this called the "Wild Cunningham" when White offers all of these pawns? |

| | FSR: <King Death: I never heard of Bertin, isn't this called the "Wild Cunningham" when White offers all of these pawns?> That's what I'd always heard it called. As for Captain Bertin, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph... (written by me). I'm not sure what his connection to this gambit was. |

| Jun-29-12 | | Calli: Besides Bird, Morphy was playing De Riviere, Boden, Barnes and Loewenthal at the same time. |
|
| Jun-29-12 | | lemaire90: Very nice game ! |

 | | kevin86: The white e-pawn is only a decoy. When white takes the black pawns-he would have an heir and a spare to queen with. |

| Jun-29-12 | | LoveThatJoker: Awesome game from WC Morphy!

|
| Jun-30-12 | | I play the Fred: <LIKE and what is WC> William Charles, Paul's real name. |
|
| Jun-30-12 | | RookFile: You could take this game, remove the names of the players, and tell somebody that Tal played the white pieces. If he didn't know the game, he would believe you. |

 | | scormus: <RookFile> What!!! You mean it WASN'T Tal? Hey, don' thet jes beat all ;) ;) |
|
| Jul-03-12 | | PaulLovric: Thanks <I play the Fred: <LIKE and what is WC>
William Charles, Paul's real name.> |
|
| Mar-19-15 | | Ladyanavt: Love how Morphy tempts Bird to simplify by lining up his knights on the edge of the board. |
|
| Jan-09-17 | | RookFile: Bird was probably happy to make it to move 30. Against Morphy, he was usually crushed by then. He even got to play a few more useless moves in this game. |
|
| Jul-10-18 | | JPi: Is that a Blindefold simultaneous performance or not? Whatever very impressive! One can found mistake on black side but there are not such obvious. Indeed Bird wasn't a weak player (Latter his -7;+5 and many draws against Steinitz shows that). |
|
| Aug-15-19 | | Chesgambit: simulgame 1-0 |

 | | louispaulsen88888888: 10...R-B1 looks strong. |

| Apr-22-21 | | paulmorphy1969: After the simultaneous at St. George's chess club
Morphy was invited to St. James's Chess Club in Löwenthal on Regent Street where he did another simultaneous against 5 professional players on April 26, 1859.
The match ended with two wins for Morphy, two draws and one defeat by Barnes. The tables had been arranged in a circle in the great hall of the club restaurant so that Morphy could easily switch from table to table. His time of reflection was quick as usual, so much so that sometimes the opponent asked for more time to decide what to do next.
At the first table was the Frenchman De Riviére, at the second Mr. S.S. Boden, the third Mr. W. Barnes, the fourth Mr. H E. Bird and the fifth Herr Lowenthal. |
|
| Mar-31-22 | | Rabbinvane: Morphy did a SIMUL against FIVE leading Masters and won two games and lost only one. Let that sink in. |
|
| Mar-31-22 | | Z free or die: These 5 games really belong to a tournament [~sic] page. I wonder how <paulmorphy1969> is progressing with his (her?) work. Haven't seen him since the end of January. Hope his Morphy results are fruitful and ongoing. |
|
| Apr-01-22 | | sudoplatov: I've seen this variation called the "Three Pawns Gambit" which is at least descriptive. |
