Feb-25-07  Autoreparaturwerkbau: Wow! 3 black pieces point at f2 (checking king), but white remains cool.
Nov-27-07  hesyrett: Obviously Black must have had better defenses available, especially after White spent three tempi moving his f♙ from f2 thru f3 and e4 to d5, whilst Black was developing and getting castled.  How about 10...♘f5 Δ 11...h6 ejecting White's ♘?  White can't castle, and his advanced center ♙s will fall soon, exposing his ♔ to a ferocious attack.  Von Kolisch was lucky his opponent was Walker and not Morphy!
Jan-01-10  rustyrook: How about 10--Bf2ch? One possible line is 11 Ke2 Bh4 12 Nf3 Nf5 13g4 Nd6 14 g5 Qe8 15 Qd4 Nf5 16 Qg4 cxd 17 Nxh4 Bxe6 and although a piece down black as a dangerous attack.
Dec-29-13  thomastonk: Have you ever heard about the player <Rohder och Walker>? Maybe a Scottish clansman who went to nearby Leeds and tried to get famous by beating Kolisch?? Oh, what a wonderful plot! But he lost. And how he lost! So, we have to tell the truth.
