| Feb-05-04 | | boneheadcharles: 9. ♗xf6 is one horrible move. Was this a lightning game? |
|
| Feb-05-04 | | clendenon: Yes. white got struck by lightning. |

 | | ToTheDeath: What a silly game. Why not 7.Nxg7+? |
|
| Jun-18-04 | | Infohunter: This gamelet reprises the winning theme of A B Meek vs NN (with colors reversed), which was played eighty years earlier and which has long since become a standard "book" trap. |
|
| Jun-19-04 | | Infohunter: In my earlier kibitz I neglected to link to the game in question. Herewith the link: A B Meek vs NN, 1855 |

| Oct-02-04 | | Knight13: Nice short mate game. |
|
| Oct-02-04 | | fgh: Wow, what such a mate. |
|
| Nov-24-04 | | aw1988: Why on earth did white resign?? He has a clear win! 10. Bxe7 Nullmove 11. Qxf3. I can't believe Miller missed it. |
|
| Nov-24-04 | | drukenknight: umm its already mate, dude. |
|
| Nov-25-04 | | aw1988: Dude, like, omigod, really? |
|
| Nov-25-04 | | suenteus po 147: 9.Bxf6 was White's attempt to avoid losing the bishop to the knight fork. Guess it worked out better than he hoped :) |
|
| Jun-16-05 | | superiorNOshow: Is it possible that Chessgames has this Miller confused with another Miller? His range goes from 1935 to 2003, With only FOUR GAMES!!! Besides, Miller is a common name. Of course this post excludes Internet research so anyone who knows anything pleas tell me. |

| Nov-25-05 | | JYMMI: THE SAME DOUBLE CHECK WITH MATE OF:
Alexander Beaufort Meek vs NN _1885
|
|
| Nov-26-05 | | JYMMI: HERE IS THE LINK FOR THE GAME I MENTIONED LAST KIBITZ:
A Meek vs NN, 1855 |
|
| Oct-27-07 | | patzerboy: This is a beautiful mate. Yeah, I know it takes some real dumb moves to get there, but LOOK at it: Both pieces involved in the mate are under attack, but as it's a double check, they are both immune. And it's very economical. One more thing I like about it is that it comes as a complete shock, as in "Oh, by the way, it's mate." |

 | | FSR: Amusing finish, but with wretched play by both sides. Heaven only knows why Miller didn't play 8.Nxg7+ Kf8 9.Bh6 leaving him two pawns up. My first thought was that maybe Chernev had been very young when he played this game, but no -- he was 35. For a guy who loved chess so much and by his own account had probably played over more chess games than anyone else in history, he wasn't a very good player. |

| | FSR: The game people referred to above is now at A Meek vs Adbor, 1855 |

typerys resigns 1-0
My game followed the first 11 halfmoves but then white had this setup this game had this position
click for larger viewI had this position
click for larger viewI landed the knight check, then play Bh6 and then black resigned on move 9. I guess black's only option is to castle instead of trying to save his bishop. I dont have Rybka on this comp, but at least now I'll remember to scan this game. |

| | beenthere240: I think in the Chernev game black can play 7....Kd7. And then white is going to find himself over extended and underdeveloped. |
|

| | beenthere240: Or. the game is a fake. |
|
| Feb-21-09 | | WhiteRook48: bad game for Chernev |

 | | Phony Benoni: This was an offhand game, played either in late 1927 or early 1928. It was published in H.R. Bigelow's column in the <New York Evening Post> on Wednesday, February 22, 1928 (the date is obscured in the copy I found, but can be deduced). White's name is given as "A. Miller". http://fultonhistory.com/Newspaper%... I noticed another column about this time with Chernev mentioned as "a leading authority on checkers." Didn't save the reference, but I could probably find it again. At any rate, I think the implication is that Chernev was just beginning to focus on chess in the late 1920s, but he knew a good joke when he saw one. |

| | NM JRousselle: Ugh, 9 Bf6 is such a terrible move, allowing mate in 1. The simple and obvious (to me) 9 Be2 secures White's advantage. |

| | sea7kenp: I find it amusing that both Checking Pieces are en prise. |
