Dec-20-02 | | GregorMendel: Even the great Marshall must succumb to the undying NN...What was with 35...Kh7?? anyway? |
|
Dec-21-02 | | ughaibu: Exchanging rooks would leave a lost endgame. Marshall tried for perpetual check instead, Kh7 looks best to me. |
|
Dec-21-02 | | mdorothy: Wow, I see wins for NN popping up all over the place. I think he deserves an honorary World Championship. |
|
Dec-22-02 | | ughaibu: We should comend NN on his modesty for mainly pulicising his losses. |
|
Apr-05-04 | | N N: Thankyou Thankyou. Yes I was World Champion for one day, when I beat Alekhine, but he won the title back later that day. |
|
Oct-07-04 | | AmelGonzalez: Who the hell is NN anyways. Is he suppost to be the worst chess player ever or something. |
|
Oct-25-04 | | jcmoral: <Amel> NN is short for anonymous. <N.N.> did you choose that handle just to post jokes? :P |
|
Nov-19-04 | | Leviathan: <NN is short for anonymous> More precisely, NN stands for Nomen Nescio (which in latin means 'name unknown') |
|
Feb-28-05 | | DCP23: I find it hardly surprising that Marshall was thrashed by NN, who expertly dispatched Philidor, Blackburne, and Alekhine, among others, before that. p.s. :) |

Aug-12-05 | | lentil: 21... Rab8 is ??
21. ...Rfb8 wins the house. |
|
Feb-27-07 | | IMDONE4: if 35...Rxe8, then 36. Qxe8+ Kh7 37. Qe4+ Qxe4 38. fxe4, and the extra pawn easily wins; 35...Kh7 has the best practical chances |

Sep-13-08 | | TheTamale: Payback for NN. There was a lot of bad blood built up here; Marshall had handed NN several humiliating drubbings before this and had even insulted NN's mother. NN's mother was suffering from pleurisy at the time, so it was a sore spot for him. NN's mother's birth name was Laurie, but Marshall repeatedly referred to her as "Whore-y." In his autobiography, Marshall blamed the whole episode on forgetting to take his meds for two months straight. He dedicated a few pages in honor of NN and his tenacious chess spirit; however, since NN had passed away 4 years before its publication, it was too little too late. Still, I like Marshall. When it came down to it, his heart was in the right place. |

 | | Honza Cervenka: This game looks like a blunderfest but also a great fun from both sides. After 15.Qa3 black would be toast. |
|
Dec-23-08 | | YoungEd: As usual, <TheTamale> amazes one and all with insight and astute historical research. |
|
Dec-31-08 | | WhiteRook48: Wow. Nf3! in the opening and 47. Kb7!! in the end, not 47. Kxc7?? good victory for NN |
|
Mar-24-09 | | WhiteRook48: <TheTamale> LOL!! |

Aug-07-14 | | Karpova: On 13 February 1908, Marshall arrived in Barmen, Germany, and gave a 19-board Simul on February 14. He scored +10 -5 =4. Marshall lost to: Friedrich Malthan, Ernst Schuster, Wilhelm Weyding of Barmen, Landé (a lawyer) and Georg Wiarda of Elberfeld. Source: 'Wiener Schachzeitung', May-June 1908, pp. 158-161 |
