 | | Phony Benoni: The best thing about reusing a pun is that the explanation has probably been given before. Today's is a song by the rock group Steely Dan. Steinitz did a lot of this stuff in his younger days when he was first trying to make his name. There are various ways to finish the Black king off after 20...Kg7; I'm rather partial to 21.Qxf7+ Kh6 22.Qxf6+ Kh5 23.g4+ Kxg4 24.Rg1+ Kh5 25.Qg5#. There may be quicker. |

 | | al wazir: But what if black had played 16...Ne7 ? |
|
Oct-12-11 | | Arcturus: 10) . . . dxNc3 and 11) Ra-e1 and bye bye queenie pie ! |
|
Oct-12-11 | | andrewjsacks: Black's fourth move is remarkably inventive--"sound" or not. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: One curious feature of the game is 16.g3, which looks pointless until 20.Qxc7, and suddenly 20...Qd6 is no longer a check that forces the exchange of Queens. |

|
Oct-12-11 | | ounos: 16. ...Qa5 would be a fun attempt at defence! Covering all obvious threats, and waiting to see if Steinitz would figure out the kill (of course he would). |
|
Oct-12-11 | | ounos: <An Englishman> indeed, good catch! |

Oct-12-11 | | Shams: The story on this page is a treat:
F Deacon vs J Robey, 1862 |
|
Oct-12-11 | | abuzic: <After 20.Qxc7>
20...Kg7 21.Qxf7+ Kh6 22.Qxf6+ Kh5 23.Bf7+ Kg4 24.f3#.What if black played 16...Qd6 or 16...Kf8?
And what if white had played 12.Bxd6! cxd6;
<(12...Qxd6 13.Qxf7+ Kd8 14.Nb5 Qe7 15.Qd5+ Kc8 16.Qf5+ Kb8 17.Qxc2)>; 13.Nd5 Qd8 14.Rac1 d3 15.Qe4+ Kf8;
<(15.Ne7 Bxd3)>;
16.Qxd3 and the black N falls. |

|
Oct-12-11 | | kevin86: The cross-exchange/sac of bishops and game 13 and 14 are unique indeed. |
|
Oct-12-11 | | BiteByBits: quite a sharp game, looks like what I would do in blitz against someone who overextends his attack..queen...lol. |

 | | Check It Out: (1 Timothy 3:8 sq.) St. Paul impresses upon Timothy that <"deacons must be chaste, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre, holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience."> He directs further that they must <"first be proved: and so let them minister, having no crime">, and he adds that they should be the <"husbands of one wife: who rule well their children and their own houses. For they that have ministered well shall purchase to themselves a good degree, and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus."> How's 6 or 7 out of 9: Still eligible?

 | | Honza Cervenka: 12.Qxb7 was not utterly bad but simple 12.Bxd6! instead of that would have won immediately, as 12...cxd6 13.Nd5 Qd8 14.Qe4+ wins the Knight on c2 and 12...Qxd6 13.Qxf7+ Kd8 14.Nb5 is evidently hopeless for black too. |
|
Oct-14-11
 | | Honza Cervenka: 16...Nf6?? was a blunder. Black's position was not easy anyway, but after 16...Nh6 or 16...Qd6 I see no immediate decisive blow from white's part. |
