| Jan-04-07 | | Whitehat1963: Marshall pulls out the stops after 23. Qh5. What a combination! |
|
| Feb-11-16 | | SimplicityRichard: Indeed! And if 24.Qxh4?? Rxf2 #. |
|
| Mar-07-21 | | Granny O Doul: I'd have gone with 23...Bxh3+ 24. Rxh3 Rxf2+. |

 | | HeMateMe: Good pun, sharp idea |
|
| Dec-21-21 | | Brenin: Moreau scored 0/26 in this tournament. He had a distinguished military career, and in 1872 he published a mathematics paper proving a formula which has many modern applications, though he is rarely given the credit for it. |

| | HeMateMe: Is that the same Moreau who wrote a mathamatical treatsie on the orbital path of a comet? |
|
| Dec-21-21 | | YoungEd: White's bishop maneuver on moves 7-8-9 can't be quite right, can it? And even I know not to go h3 and g4 against Marshall! |
|
| Dec-21-21 | | sudoplatov: 20.Ne3 seems to be the big error. 20.f4 is a bit better. (According to Stockfish.) |
|
| Dec-21-21 | | Brenin: <HeMateMe>: I doubt it, as Moreau was a pure mathematician. You may be thinking of Michael Moreau, a space scientist at NASA: https://www.ion.org/awards/2016-Tyc... |

| | Phony Benoni: <HeMateMe: Is that the same Moreau who wrote a mathematical treatise on the orbital path of a comet?> Doubtful. That Moreau is associated with ellipses. Colonel Moreau just went around in circules. |

 | | Teyss: <Brenin: Moreau scored 0/26 in this tournament.> Indeed, that hurts. It's his only games in the database so he probably figured he'd better stick to the army and maths afterwards. White thought he could launch the cavalry on the Kside but you cannot out-attack a born attacker. Good game. |

 | | MissScarlett: The Colonel brought cavalry to an artillery fight. |

|
| Dec-21-21 | | AlicesKnight: <sudoplatov> Yes - move 20 was White's last chance to eliminate the Black QB; he didn't and it came back to haunt him. |

| Dec-21-21 | | joe1137: HeMateMe: Is that the same Moreau who wrote a mathamatical treatsie on the orbital path of a comet? Phony Benoni is right (and clever). C. Moreau published a paper on circular permutations in 1872. You can find it online:
Moreau, C. (1872), "Sur les permutations circulaires distinctes (On distinct circular permutations)", Nouvelles annales de mathématiques, journal des candidats aux écoles polytechnique et normale, Sér. 2 (in French), 11: 309–314, JFM 04.0086.01 |
|
| Dec-22-21 | | Brenin: <Phony Benoni>, <joe1137>: Clever, indeed. However, circles are ellipses (though not vice versa). |
|
| Dec-22-21 | | joe1137: Phony Benoni>, <joe1137>: Clever, indeed. However, circles are ellipses (though not vice versa) This is true, but not to prolong this, the Moreau paper, as I read it, is about symmetries in basically circular structures, and not about ellipses. My french is not great, and I might be wrong, but that paper does not seem to be about elliptical orbits, such as comets.
We probably need to take this discussion to another site! |

| | HeMateMe: I thought it was professor Moriarty who wrote the mathematical treatsie. But then, i do get my Holmes characters confused at times. |
