| Feb-24-06 | | Stonewaller2: Anyone defending any no-GM-draw rule should merely have to introduce this game as Exhibit A and rest his or her case. I'm a fan of both players but this one is abominable. |
|
| Feb-25-06 | | mack: <Stonewaller> - as hnishy says, see chapter 9 of 'It's Only Me' - Tony was hardly the sort to go for prearranged draws but circumstances meant that a proper game really wouldn't have been possible here. The plan here was that Miles would play sensible moves, Huebner would play what he liked, with white offering a draw at move 5. Miles says he feared that black would go the whole hog and play ...f6 & ..g5, after which he would either have avoided 2.e4 or played it anyway, whack his queen on h5, and then adoube it to g4... |

 | | eternaloptimist: Lol!! What a bizarre game!!!! Obviously a draw was agreed to b4 the game started. Besides, the Englund Gambit isn't that good of an opening anyway. |
|
| Aug-28-10 | | whiteshark: <Englund Gambit Complex: <Mosquito Gambit>> A draw wasn't surprising here, as only female mosquitos bite. |

Try the ECO chapter above for a more broad search of this opening." |

| Mar-15-11 | | shalgo: Huebner must have been remembering Huebner vs K Rogoff, 1972. |
|
| Apr-27-11 | | bronkenstein: Huebner vs K Rogoff, 1972 What a game..especially after reading the comments ... I almost fell off the chair xD. TA for great fun :) |
|
| Jul-16-11 | | Xeroxx: I want this game to be played at my funeral. |
|
| Jul-16-11 | | bronkenstein: <I want this game to be played at my funeral.> xD
I wish I said that =) |

 | | perfidious: <Xeroxx: "Sorry, there are no games similar to this one in the database....."> The similar games feature is, therefore, a fraud.
Maybe when its replacement is unveiled, the multitude of games featuring this opening will be revealed. |

| Nov-01-18 | | RookFile: Huebner gets an easy draw with the opening of the day. :) |

| | FSR: There is actually a variation of the Budapest Fajarowicz similar to this: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 Ne4?! 4.a3 Qh4?! See A Whiteley vs A M Dunn, 1989. |

| | perfidious: <FSR>, many moons ago, in a blitz session with Tal, he played a more conventional form of the Fajarowicz after 4.a3, the only time I ever faced 3....Ne4. Managed to wax the great man anyway for one of my five wins, against six losses, at 5-2 time odds that morning. |

 | | moronovich: 5 wins, despite time odds, against Tal, is quite impressive ! |
|

| | FSR: <perfidious> btw, having beaten Tal gives you a Morphy victory number (i.e. a chain consisting of all wins) of 5. You beat Tal. Tal beat Reshevsky twice at Herceg Novi 1970 (blitz). https://www.chessgames.com/perl/che... Reshevsky beat Mieses at Margate 1935. J Mieses vs Reshevsky, 1935. Mieses beat Louis Paulsen at Breslau 1889. J Mieses vs Paulsen, 1889. And Paulsen once beat Morphy, in Morphy's only tournament. Paulsen vs Morphy, 1857. That also gives you Fischer, Kasparov, Spassky, Petrosian, Botvinnik, Smyslov, Korchnoi (etc.) victory numbers of 2. And a Carlsen victory number of 3, in light of Korchnoi vs Carlsen, 2004. Likewise an Anand victory number of 3. See Tal vs Chandler, 1982 and Chandler vs Anand, 1984. I have a "regular" Morphy number of 4, stemming from having drawn Leonard Barden in an online 15-minute game, L Barden vs F Rhine, 2010, but Morphy victory numbers are much harder to get, and thus cooler. You also evidently have a Morphy number of 4, having played Bisguier, who drew Tartakower, Tartakower vs Bisguier, 1950, who lost to Mortimer(!), J Mortimer vs Tartakower, 1907, who reportedly played many offhand games against Morphy, though none survive. See my seminal blog post https://chicagochess.blogspot.com/2... and https://chesscafe.com/the-skittles-... |

 | | Black Vampire: The worst is that the final position is evaluated by the engine as a clear White advantage, perhaps decisive 😱 and I'm sure they knew it!. Definitely those two mocked us 🤡😤 |
