 | | FSR: Hungry Like the Wolff. |
|
Jul-23-13 | | Albanius: Why doesn't this game have a title like Big Bad Wolff or Wolff at the Door? |
|
Sep-26-13 | | Neptun11: So where wère Garry`s decisive mistakes? Only 14. h4? |
|
Mar-06-14 | | JohnBoy: The above video links (Feb-18-10 & Feb-22-10) are all dead. |

Sep-13-15 | | Albanius: 23 Qe4!? Bh4?
24 Qg4+ Bg5[]
25 Rf8+ Kf8
26 Qc8+ Kg7
27 Qc3+ and wins
However
23 ... Qe1+!
24 Qe1 fe1/Q+
25 Ke1 Bh4+
26 Ke2 Rc8 and Black wins. |
|
Sep-07-16 | | RookFile: The position after 6....cxd5 was brave play because Wolff cheerfully accepted the isolated d pawn. Maybe it was because he knew he could kick the queen with tempo. |
|
Sep-07-16 | | catlover: According to the post by <hstevens129>, GM Wolff quit chess and opted for "the financial industry." I guess that makes him the Wolff of Wall Street. |
|
Sep-07-16 | | catlover: <Rookfile> Good point. The way the game went, Wolff lost the isolated pawn but got an attack. I wonder if 16. Nf3 would have been better than 16. Rc1. The Knight's absence on f3 seems to cause problems for Kasparov later. |

 | | kevin86: Since a wolf is wild dog, Kasparov was really hounded by this Wolff. |
|
Sep-07-16 | | Keyser Soze: The documentary about this simul event is great. A must watch. Garry taking the US junior top players. |
|
Sep-07-16 | | swclark25: I didn't understand 23 Nf6. Black Q threatens with 22...Qd2, but White is up a N. Seems White playing 23)f4 would protect the N with the B, and would allow for 24)Qc2 to threaten Black Q. Thoughts? |
|
Sep-07-16 | | catlover: <swclark25> I'm not sure why Kasparov played 23. Nf6 either. Maybe he was hoping for 23... Bxf6 24. Qg4+ Bg5 25. Rxf8+ Kxf8 26. Qc8+ Bd8 27. Qc5+ Kg8 28. Qxf2. If so, Wolff sidestepped that trap. In the position you mention, black is threatening mate on the move (23...Qe1++). Unfortunately, 23. f4 would not have avoided that. |

 | | eternaloptimist: Patrick's attack was direct & got the job done! I'm sure he was excited to beat the reigning World Chess Champ so quickly in a simul! He wasn't afraid to take some chances vs Kasparov. It would've been easy to play more solidly w/ 1...♙c5 but he got aggressive w/ 1...♙e5. I had the privilege of meeting Patrick at a chess tournament in New Orleans back in '92 when he was the reigning US Chess Champ. I talked w/ him for 15 minutes or so. He played ~20 games in a simul the day before the tournament; he won all of the games but 1. He got a draw in that game. |

Premium Chessgames Member morfishine: No way White Mieses this tactic "Mieses this tactic" ("misses" this tactic, get it?) |

 | | eternaloptimist: <Keyser Soze> Thanks for telling me about that documentary; I wasn't aware of it until you mentioned it! It's called "American Gambit". I did a search on YouTube for it & it's in 3 parts. Here's the link.: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list... |

 | | MissScarlett: Shelby Lyman's syndicated column of March 20th 1988 (e.g., the <Courier-Post> (Cherry Hill, N.J.), p.6D) has a different move-order (in descriptive notation), viz.: <6. Nf3 Be7
7. cxd5 cxd5
8. O-O Nc6
9. Qa4 O-O> |

 | | HeMateMe: Gaza got Wolffed down.
Wasn't' there a strong junior player 30 years ago named Patrick Wolfe? played in the USA championship? Whatever became of him? |
|
Apr-22-18
 | | perfidious: <HMM>, the winner of this game is the player in question; we met at the board numerous times before he won two US championships. Wolff is now in the financial world and lived in San Francisco, last I knew. |

 | | ChessHigherCat: <Wolff is now in the financial world and lived in San Francisco, last I knew.> Perfect, the Wolff of Market Street! |

 | | HeMateMe: The Mechanics Institute is still a brick and mortar chess club? The oldest chess club in the country? What a strange name for a chess club. Origin of the name? |
