Sep-28-04  Knight13: 8... Nxc3!? maybe a bad move. 10. Qb3 should have won the bishop but what in the world is this move 10... Bxa1?. 10... O-O would be better. 11. Bxf7+! Kf8. 16... Rf8 is not good either. I would have played 16... Qe7. But 16... Qe7 17. Nxh7 Rh8 18. Nf6+ gxf6 19. exf6 would leave black a big hole on the Black King. So I would think 16... Qe7 is not really good. What eles? Needs more time. Good game.

Dec-18-07  Whitehat1963: What an amazing game, requiring huge brass pelotas!!
Dec-18-07  sushijunkie: <Whitehat1963>: Maybe you already know, and you just like using the given form but, "pelota" = sporting ball; the proper Spanish colloquiallism for testicles is either "cojones" (big bag) or "huevos" (eggs), among others.

Not trying to be Spanish/Grammar nazi; I'm just an etymology and usage nut. ;)

Dec-18-07  Whitehat1963: <sushijunkie>: Yes, I'm a fluent Spanish speaker, so I knew, yes. But I love to have fun with language, especially Spanglish.
Feb-29-08  wolfmaster: "Discovered check is the dive bomber of the chessboard." -Fine
Apr-10-08  T.Ramesh: The game is in alekhine's style...
May be alekhine accumulated ideas from some such games....
Nov-10-16  Aunt Jemima: White missed an easy killer move in 14. Nh7+ if 14...Ke8 then 15. Qxg8+ wins the rook and after 15...Ke7 16. Bg5+ white wins the queen too.

If 14. Nh7+ Ke7 then 15. Bg5+ wins the queen right away and then mate soon.

How could a great player like La Bourdonnais miss this?

Mar-29-23  TommyDG42: 15. Bg5+???
How is this possible when pawn on f4 is blocking g5

  MissScarlett: Bell's Life in London, August 5th 1838, p.4:

<At a large Chess party recently given in Paris M. de la Bourdonnais played and won the following game of M. Jay without seeing the board, conducting at the same time a second game, played in a similar manner, with M. Jouy which La Bourdonnais also won [...]

The game was conducted twenty moves further, but was finally won by the two pieces against Rook. An attack so conducted, blindfold, can well be appreciated.>

Presumably, the partner game to Jouy vs La Bourdonnais, 1838.

Who is <Jay "the philosopher">? Jouy vs La Bourdonnais, 1838 (kibitz #3)
