Jan-21-13		paulalbert: The puzzle was easy enough, but I was intrigued by the Panteldakis Countergambit, with which I was not familiar, but there is plenty of information and analysis, having been played by Greco himself and the net search finds lots of articles. What I have not been able to find is: Who or where is Panteldakis after which 2... f5 is named? Does anybody know why the countergambit is named Panteldakis?

Jan-21-13		whiteshark: Monday morning puzzle. <FSR> I Know What You Did there! :D

Jan-21-13		snakebyt: Queen sacrifice! QXf8 NXQ Re8# 1-0

Jan-21-13		playground player: If you know Morphy's "Opera House Game" by heart, you know the answer to this puzzle.

Jan-21-13		mistreaver: White to play. Monday. Very easy.13? I first thought it was black to play, lol. AFter that i saw it almost instantly: 13 Qxf8+ Nf8 14 Rd8 mate Nice one for Monday. I venture to say it is 1/1 for now.

Jan-21-13		agb2002: The material is identical. Black threatens 13... Nhf6 and the white queen can't move unless White plays Re8+. The convergence of the LSB and the King's rook on e8 suggests 13.Qxf8+ to deliver mate after 13... Nxf8 14.Re8#.

Jan-21-13		agb2002: There are three kinds of people: those who can count and those who can't...

Jan-21-13		Domdaniel: Hobbesian: "nasty, brutish and short". Milorad Nastic, Brutus (Computer), & R Short ... ?

Jan-21-13		Patriot: <<agb2002>: There are three kinds of people: those who can count and those who can't...> LOL--I've done the same thing before in the same situation where the queen was sitting on the square of where the rook should be! I could have done the same thing here very easily, but since the mate was easy to spot I didn't bother with material.

Jan-21-13		boneil3774: 13.Qxf8+ Nxf8 14.Re8#

Jan-21-13		goldenbear: What was the losing move?????

Jan-21-13		rinkol: I would suggest that ... Q-f2 was a blunder. It cost a valuable tempo that black needed to get castled into safety on the Queen side.

Jan-21-13		norami: Reminds me of a game I heard about that went 1 e4 e5 2 f4 f5 3 d4 d5 4 de de 5 QxQ KxK At this point White asked Black what he was doing and he said he didn't know how to play chess, he was just copying White's moves.

Jan-23-13		kevin86: White sacrifices two queens-ok,not quite,but at least one queen---to mate.

Jan-06-19		HarryP: Not a great game, but a pretty mate.

Sep-26-22		nalinw: Dont get the pun - unless it is the Queen suddenly emerging from h8 .... which is ok

Sep-26-22		Cheapo by the Dozen: I had no clue about the pun, but it became readily apparent from the earlier comments. Bonus: The combination may be regarded as a mirror image of that in the Opera House game, and mirrors figure prominently in Phantom as well.

Sep-26-22		Teyss: <nalinw> Morphy vs Duke Karl / Count Isouard, 1858 I don't see another link between the game and the pun, maybe I'm missing something. <Cheapo by the Dozen: The combination may be regarded as a mirror image of that in the Opera House game, and mirrors figure prominently in Phantom as well.> Yeah the pun could have been "The Opera of the Phantom".

Sep-26-22		Swedish Logician: What a lovely gem! I simply had to save this to my collection Agreeable Miniatures ....

Sep-26-22		MissScarlett: I had two inspirations for this pun - one was A Hodges vs J Daniels, 1886 (kibitz #7), the other was seeing this musical again last week in Her Majesty's Theatre. The idea occurred during the interval.

Sep-26-22		Chessius the Messius: 3... Qe7 is playable.

Sep-26-22		Teyss: I wonder what's more surprising, the fact Missy reads my post or that she uses them as an excuse for her puns. And is it respectful to see a musical when the country is mourning?

Sep-26-22		PawnSac: gosh, 12. ..Qxe1+ was certainly better, that is if black really wants to play on. 13.Kx 000 14.Qxh7 and ..Nhf6 maybe. but this copycat stuff most often turns sour. I guess they hadn't learned that yet in 1902
