Jan-07-06 | | Autoreparaturwerkbau: I find such ancient games rather naive ... they would match of today's rating around 1500 i guess? |
|
Jan-02-07 | | Autoreparaturwerkbau: Maybe 27.f4? wasn't the brightest idea afterall. |
|
Jun-23-07 | | PizzatheHut: Not gonna lie, these old guys were pretty crappy. |
|
Feb-02-08 | | wolfmaster: Atwood thought he had the game in the bag with all of his pawns... But Cotter struck back and mated him! |
|
Feb-02-08 | | Gameoverziggy: Never once did Atwood have a winning game blacks active pieces more than made up for the lack of pawns. |

 | | MissScarlett: This game as far as <25. g3> appears in the <CPC>, vol.v (January 1844), p.6. The ending is much snappier: <25...Qh6 26. gxf4 Qxh3+ 27. Kxh3 Rh7# 0-1>. It's one of several games given upon the introduction: <Mr. George Walker has favoured us with a few unpublished Games from the Philidorian manuscripts, from which he printed a Volume in 1835. Upon that occasion, the limits to which he had bound down his work prevented him from giving the whole of the Games he possessed.> |

 | | offramp: It's pretty funny to post this pair of games of the day so that we could have Welcome Back Kotter. |
|
Jul-08-25 | | Gottschalk: Here, the "Train" appears in G-column.
Note the Knight's strategic role in previously weakening the King's protective armor. |
|
Jul-08-25 | | Toxic Narcissist: <27. f4?> His chess sense completely failed him here. |
|
Jul-08-25 | | FM David H. Levin: In playing 27. f4, White might have intended to answer 27...Rxg3 by 28. Rg1. click for larger viewUnfortunately, Black would have 28...Nf3+, which would force 29. Qxf3 Rxf3, resulting in White's being down a rook for too few pawns. |

 | | FSR: The pun is essentially a duplicate of <Welcome Back Cotter> Philidor vs Cotter, 1789. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Excellent pun, even if used before. Nice to see Cotter on the winning end of a game. |
|
Jul-08-25 | | Gottschalk: <Toxic Narcissist>
29.Nf3check! was clearly unexpected.
Common sense dictates Qf3 as the best way to prolong the game.
However, there are also those who prefer to quickly lose a hopeless game. |

 | | Honza Cervenka: After 27.c3 white is not worse. |
|
Jul-08-25 | | Gottschalk: <Honza Cervenka> I agree. |

 | | saffuna: <An Englishman: Good Evening: Excellent pun, even if used before.> That happens. I didn't go through all Cotter's games. It's happened to me as well, a pun re-used. |

 | | HeMateMe: I think Barbarino should have played Fischer in the biopic. They were both from Brooklyn, both high school drop outs. |
