Jun-28-22 Burn vs Metger, 1887   shallowred: The text is incorrect; 16. Qg4 was not played by Burn. It loses a pawn to 16... NxP 17. Qe2 (or 17. BxN QxB). Burn actually played 16. Qg5 to protect the Pawn and to keep the Queen on the dark squares, with the potential of Qh6.      Mar-28-22 Amos Burn   shallowred: Burn shows up for 25 straight years on the Chess.com YouTube graphic 'The Best Chess Players Over Time (Estimated By Accuracy)' -- Not bad      Feb-22-22 Burn vs Mackenzie, 1886   shallowred: Both masters played very well, and Mackenzie took full advantage of Burn's missed-win (see the post by Benzol above). After this loss, Burn is down 4 wins to 0 in a race to 5 wins but (as noted in both men's bio) Burn battles back and ties the match (+4, =2, -4).      Jul-03-21 Burn vs J Watkinson, 1871   shallowred: Giving names to Master Maneuvers helps me learn: White transforms Black's Queen-Block into a Pin using a Delayed Knight Fork (King moves out of check, QxQ, KxQ then the fork is resumed: NxB).      May-06-21 Zukertort vs Burn, 1886    shallowred: Yeah; too bad, it could have been an interesting game. But Zukertort's blunder shouldn't keep us from learning from Amos. His play after 24.f3 is instructive. 25... Qd5 (nice pin) and 26... Re8 (do you call that a pre-pin?) would have got his g4 Knight out with even material, or ...      May-04-21 Bird vs Burn, 1886    shallowred: These two masters played an 18 game match a month before this tournament. They tied 9 to 9 with no draws. They each stubbornly stuck to their openings throughout the match; and then again in this game. My kind of players. 24...g5 wins a piece. 54...Bf5+ wins the Exchange. Cool ...      Sep-25-20 Alekhine vs Lasker, 1914    shallowred: I have seen lists of the greatest chess champions where Lasker is ranked below Alekhine (and others) who could hardly ever beat Lasker or who admitted in public that Lasker was better than them (or even that he was the best ever)!      Sep-25-20 J Davidson vs Gunsberg, 1911   shallowred: Thanks for the post and move ideas.      Mar-08-20 Burn vs O Bernstein, 1906   shallowred: 23.Qg4 aligns a Battery on the c8 Rook and pins the c4 Knight to checkmate.      Feb-09-20 Lasker vs Showalter, 1893   shallowred: With 32. Nd3 Lasker forks a Piece and a Fork. It seems this should be a theme.      Jul-11-19 Schlechter vs Lasker, 1910    Jun-16-19 Olland vs J Davidson, 1924    Jun-12-19 Jacques Davidson     Jun-11-19 H C Mees vs J Davidson, 1910    Nov-27-18 D Daniuszewski vs P Romanovsky, 1909     Sep-14-18 Salwe vs S Izbinsky, 1903    Jul-22-18 Bird vs Teichmann, 1895    Jul-04-18 F Duz-Khotimirsky vs Chigorin, 1907    Dec-03-17 Capablanca vs G Wainwright, 1913    Jul-11-17 H Wolf vs H Suechting, 1904    Jul-11-17 H Suechting vs W Cohn, 1897     Jun-12-17 Chigorin vs Salwe, 1907     Jan-16-17 M Weiss vs Burn, 1888    Jul-25-15 H Suechting vs Schlechter, 1897    Jul-16-15 Albin vs H Suechting, 1897    Jul-12-15 H Suechting vs Von Bardeleben, 1902     Jul-03-15 H Suechting vs Teichmann, 1897    Jun-25-15 W John vs H Suechting, 1904     Jun-13-15 H Suechting vs Blackburne, 1897    Jun-08-15 K Walbrodt vs H Suechting, 1897    May-23-15 H Suechting vs J Dimer, 1897     May-10-15 H Suechting vs Janowski, 1894     Apr-25-15 Burn vs Teichmann, 1912    Mar-28-15 Lasker vs Bird, 1890     Feb-08-15 Salwe vs Schlechter, 1907    Jan-27-15 Salwe vs W Von Stamm, 1903    Jan-25-15 H Caro vs H Suechting, 1897    Dec-21-14 Von Gottschall vs Burn, 1887    Dec-06-14 A Fritz vs Burn, 1889    Dec-06-14 Von Gottschall vs Salwe, 1908    Dec-04-14 Nimzowitsch vs Salwe, 1907     Oct-13-14 Salwe vs V Omeliansky, 1906    Aug-25-14 Georg Salwe     Jun-29-14 Rubinstein vs Schlechter, 1918     May-22-14 Lasker vs Capablanca, 1914     Apr-22-14 Blackburne vs Gunsberg, 1895    Dec-21-13 Albin vs Burn, 1895    Dec-14-13 E MacDonald vs Burn, 1910     Dec-13-13 Amsterdam (1889)     Jul-06-13 Emanuel Lasker     Feb-11-13 L Forgacs vs Duras, 1909    Aug-30-12 The World vs V Akobian, 2012     Jun-08-12 J S Ryan vs Lasker, 1893    Jun-08-12 Gossip vs Lasker, 1893    Mar-04-12 Lasker vs W Napier, 1904     Feb-26-12 Ilyin-Zhenevsky vs Lasker, 1925
