  tpstar: Brutal crush. White falls victim to not one, but two Discovery tactics along the fourth rank. Picturesque finish, yet 21. Kd3 might have held out a smidgen longer.

NGMR-tpstar (FICS 4/8/06): 1. e3 e5 2. Qf3!? Nf6 3. Bc4!? d5 4. Bb3 c6 5. c4 e4 6. Qf4!? Bd6 7. Qg5?! (7. Qh4 h6 8. f4) h6 8. Qxg7 Rh7

9. Qxh7 Nxh7 10. cd cd 11. Bxd5 Nf6 12. Bb3 Nc6 13. Ba4 Bf5 14. h3 h5 15. f3?! Bg3+ 16. Ke2 Qd3+ 17. Kd1 Qf1+ 18. Kc2 ef+ 19. d3 Qxd3# 0-1.

Jul-06-06  YouRang: This game is a fine example of losing the opening, beginning with the weak 1. e3 and the one-man attack, 2. Bb5+?

Look at the position after 5 moves -- already, white is way behind! :-)

Jan-26-19  GumboGambit: Looks like White just wanted to get into the record books of executing the earliest check of all time Chess game history. i suppose they can never take that away from him, nor the trip to Bermuda.
