| organist: Is this the stem game for 6.Re1? |

Dec-24-05 H Von Hennig vs Langner, 1926
| |
| organist: I would love to know how White would have met 12...bxc6. There's lots of tactics, but they always seem to work out in Black's favour. |

Oct-27-05 T Barnes vs Morphy, 1858
| |
| organist: You may be <InspiredByMorphy> but I'm frustrated by Sergeant! Where can one find this game properly annotated in English or French? |

Oct-15-05 Harrwitz vs A Mongredien, 1860
| |
| organist: Why doesn't Black follow up on his plan and play 6...Nxe4? |

Sep-10-05 Fred Reinfeld
| |
| organist: <offramp> Reinfeld also beat Fine to win the New York State title in 1931. It would seem however that Reinfeld never participated in a non-USA tournament. |

Sep-05-05 A Sokolsky vs Navrodsky, 1944

| organist: Does anyone know who the players were in a game which began like this one until White diverged at move 9: 9.c3 Re8 10. b4 Bf8 11. b5 Ne7 12.Bg5 b6 13.Qc2 Bb7 14.Rad1 Qc8 15. Bxe7 Bxe7 16. Nxe7+ Rxe7 17. Nh4 Re8 18. f4 Qd8 19. Nf5 Nc5 20. Rfe1 a6 21. Re3 ab5? 22.Bxf7! Kxf7 23. ... |

Aug-31-05 Greco vs NN, 1620
| |
| organist: This game seems to have inspired Morphy as he won a game against Meek in 1855 where Meek decided to trap the knight directly by 7...f6. |

Jul-22-05 Euwe vs H Mattison, 1928
| |
| organist: This game is given with incorrect move order and four extra moves (24...Bxe5 25. Rf3 Qe7 26. Qg6+ Qg7 27. Qe8 Resigns) in Walker's, "Chess Openings for Juniors" pp 35-8. Although I despise the author's deceit, at least his (light) analysis is useful. |

Jul-19-05 Aguileva vs Carlsson, 1949
| |
| organist: See Reinfeld's "The Complete Chess Course" pp 428-30 for very good comments on the position after move 16. |
