Jun-28-21		FSR: If you're not careful in the Philidor you can get smashed off the board in 10 moves or so. See also, e.g., Fischer vs Fine, 1963, F Rhine vs NN, 2021, and K Milotzki vs A Sandrin, 1976. For a longer list, see https://www.chessgames.com/perl/che...

Jun-28-21		fredthebear: This game is a famous example of the Gueridon Mate. The Gueridon Mate is also called the Swallow Tale Mate, and Pedestal Mate. It should have been in our database long ago. Good work, FSR!

Jun-29-21		FSR: Let's not forget the immortal Rapport vs T Rogers, 2014.

Jun-29-21		FSR: V Castaldi vs Tartakower, 1937, H H Hahlbohm vs W Moorman, 1916, Koltanowski vs Denhaene, 1931, G Atwood vs J Wilson, 1798, Morphy vs Duke Karl / Count Isouard, 1858. In J H Blake vs G A Hooke, 1891, White only found 9.Qxf6+!! after the game. https://www.chesshistory.com/winter... R Schulder vs S Boden, 1853 is famous as the second known appearance of what became known as <Boden's Mate>. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boden...

Jun-29-21		FSR: Please don't ask me what Rapport-Rogers has to do with Philidor's Defense. I somehow was thinking of the Caro-Kann.

Jan-06-25		FSR: ChessBase Online has five games that reached the position after 5...Be7?? White missed the crushing 6.Bxf7+! in all five! After 6.Bxf7+!, Black at best loses queen and pawn for two minor pieces.
