| Nov-21-04 | | WMD: Flohr is crushed in unceremonius style.He played this game at about 1200 ELO level. |

| Mar-10-05 | | Mate Hunter: When Flohr lost a pawn he started to back his pieces and then black saw a chance to mate white. IT WORKED! |

| Jan-03-13 | | backrank: Very hard to believe that the White player in this game was really the great Salo Flohr. Maybe a different person with the same or a similar name? |
|
| Apr-13-14 | | thomastonk: <backrank> Hard to believe, but this game was indeed played by Salo Flohr. |

| May-05-17 | | zanzibar: This probably should more properly be labeled as having taken place in Bilina CZE. Bilin is the German name for the town (although almost every other reference in the literature, and there's many, using Bilin as well). . |

Rfd8 with 14 Ne1, which adds protection to the Bishop on d3, at the expense of leaving the White King more vulnerable. Oh well. I own some Fuel. Let's see what Stockfish says about this Game. |

 | | fredthebear: This is Game 11 in 'Logical Chess: Move by Move: Every Move Explained' by Irving Chernev. Game Collection: Logical Chess (Chernev) It's time to read this book! EVERY move is explained! New Orleans master Jude Acers says it's the best instruction available for the common player. As a Grandmaster, Mikhail Tal read Chernev's book to review basic chess principles. http://chesslab.com/greatestchess.htm
Everyone needs to study a puzzle book as well. "Winning Chess" by Irving Chernev and Fred Reinfeld is another classic! The older versions are written in English descriptive notation. The newer versions have been re-printed in algebraic notation with the subtitle 'How to See Three Moves Ahead'. https://www.amazon.com/WINNING-CHES... Chernev will teach the reader what to look for, how to think in easy-to-understand language. You'll want to read these books two or three times to get their full effect, to develop your mental chess habits. The dedicated reader will get better without much effort! It's just a matter of taking the time to help yourself to good instruction. |

| Feb-01-21 | | Gregor Samsa Mendel: It looks like <sea7kenp> did plug this game into The Computer. It did not consider 14 Ne1 to be especially bad, but that white was dead lost by this point anyway, which is perhaps why such a move, so spectacularly ugly to human eyes, would be considered as playable as any other by The Computer. White's 9th, 10th, 12th, 13th, and 15th moves were judged to be weak, and perhaps the last chance to survive would have been to play 12 e4. |

10. a3 is a disaster. 10. Bb2 better |
|
| Sep-22-21 | | SeanAzarin: Ouch. Wonder if Flohr had something else weighing on his mind that caused him to not focus on the game? He made error after error. |
