Mar-13-08  Knight13: <6...gxf6> Yeah, I guess that move is better than 6...Bxf6. But it kind of Forces Black to castle queen side, so if White starts pawn storming on the queen side it <might> help him.
Jun-09-14  malaparte: The doubled pawns on the c-file are beautiful.
Jul-06-17  Whitehat1963: Little Marco gets burned.
Jan-31-23  Sally Simpson: John Nunn uses this game in his feature on Great British Chess Players in 'Chess Moves' https://englishchessfederation.subs...

He also gives a nod to 33...Qg4!!

in the game E MacDonald vs Burn, 1910

Jan-31-23  Retireborn: Geoff, thanks for that. Nunn mentions that Colin Crouch's book doesn't pay much attention to this game, which is why I didn't have it my collection previously.

I did have an interesting game between them (Vienna 1898) where both of them missed wins.
