Aug-27-07		Fezzik: I wonder why there are more comments on Mondays than Sundays. I would think that the more difficult positions would inspire more chatter. Then again, maybe I should remember the saying: "The wise man speaks because he has something to say. The fool speaks because he has to say something."

Aug-27-07		vonKrolock: <ycsidney vibes43 Billosky etc> My pleasure :) The episode is discussed further a. o. related topics in Calli chessforum who is also the author of collection Anderssen-Feier, Leipzig 1877

Mind you I'm answering you, so I better shut up!

Aug-27-07		Turbo.Abraham: Other than losing a few tempi, can someone explain why white did not play 13.Kxh2 ?

Aug-27-07		Zorilla: <vonKrolock: there's a funny history on this game...> Thanks!

Aug-27-07		dzechiel: <Turbo.Abraham: Other than losing a few tempi, can someone explain why white did not play 13.Kxh2?> 13...Bxf5 would win the piece back immediately (14 Nxf5 Ng4+ 15 Kg1 Qxg5 or 14 Bxf6 Qxf6 15 Nxf5 Qxf5) with a better position after eliminating the white bishops.

Aug-27-07		Crowaholic: <panthercat: A much faster way for Black to win in your non-queen-sac line is 36. Qh3 Qf2#.> How embarassing... :-( <fm avari viraf: Anderssen committed a blunder by playing 34...Rxe7? Better is 34...Nxe7 35.Qxf4 Qxf4+ is hundred times better than the text. The text move allows mate in two by sacrificing the Queen on f8 & Rook mates on h8.> Incorrect - read vonKrolock's posting on page 1.

Aug-27-07		aazqua: That some would attempt to call this chess is a travesty. By today's standards this isn't even up to the level of a bad club game.

Aug-27-07		cyruslaihy: at first i tried Rh8+ when the king escaped, then i tried reversing move order and got it

Aug-29-07		minasina: <newton296: <ryanpd today's strongest program is Rybka. There is no need to mention Deep Junior> interesting to me is that rybka has never defeated deep junior. ( check the head to head data base ) So how can u say its better ?> You didn't read my previous posts? Did you check those rating lists? Rating lists don't come out from nowhere.

Aug-29-07		minasina: SSDF test period March 3-23, 2007 result between Rybka and Junior is for Rybka 21 wins, 10 draws, and 9 losses.

Aug-30-07		noctiferus: About rybka-DJ: CEGT results table: http://www.husvankempen.de/nunn/Rep...

Aug-30-07		minasina: Yeah, CEGT results table clearly states that Rybka beats ALL the other chess programs, no matter if it is old or new Rybka version (Rybka 1.3, 2.1 or 2.3). Simplified ranking list with this CEGT table seems to be 1) Rybka, 2) Hiarcs 11, 3) Deep Fritz 10, 4) Loop 13.5, 5) List 11.64, 6) Deep Junior 10, ... So with this list it is not at all questionable that Rybka is best. However, it seems to be very questionable to claim that Deep Junior is the second best!

Oct-16-07		whiteshark: <vonKrolock> Belated thanks for the amusing story. This #-in-3 proclamation must have hypnotised Anderssen for a moment, and after that it became a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Apr-28-08		Magic Castle: Black should have returned the rook with 36....Re8 37. Qe8+ Nf8. Now 38. Qf8+ is no longer viable because Kf8 and now the K can escape to e7 after Rh8+. Looks like black attack will then comes first.

Feb-17-09		ariel el luchador: ¿porque no 34) cxc para el negro ?¿why not 34) nxn for black?

Feb-17-09		ariel el luchador: 13)RxA AXA 14)AXC DXA 15)CXA con ventanja blanca 13)KXB BXB 14)AXN QXB 15)NXB and white win

Feb-17-09		ariel el luchador: the last comment is incorrect,el ´´ultimo comentario es incorrecto.

Nov-28-14		poorthylacine: If Anderssen would not have been bluffed by the false assertion of Göring he normally could win this tournament instead of Paulsen, and so realize the last triumph of his great career; the worst because this tournament was organized by... Göring as homage to Anderssen; the poor old master was already sickly the following year and could not win the Paris tournament which was so the first important victory of Zukertort...

Jul-31-17		borabc: So bad that this white guy suicided 37 y/o
