If Walker is right, Wilson's forename was Joseph not Jonathan.      May-24-08 Dubois vs Steinitz, 1862    sigi: I've read in every book that 6.♗g5 is a gross error but I haven't seen a proof. This game isn't suitable as one because (by playing 11.d4 and 12.e5) White gives up his control of the centre (and afterwards of h4) opens the position and invites Black's pieces to join the attack on      Feb-29-08 Wolf Meyer Popert    sigi: I just googled a variation of <Horwitz' Mate>: [DIAGRAM] Horwitz-Popert, Hamburg, 1844. 1.♖h5 ♕xh5 2.♕xc6      Feb-23-08 Sarah Papp    sigi: Born on April 30, 1988, in Nordhorn (Germany).      Feb-12-08 NN vs Greco, 1620    sigi: Some time ago I looked at this line and came to the conclusion that 9...c6? loses (e.g. 10.Nc3 Kc7 11.Bf4 Qxa1 12.Nxd7! ) and 9...Qxc1! leads to unclear positions. The Bc1 is more important for White's attack than the Ra1.      Feb-12-08 Carl Jaenisch    sigi: <brankat> During the preparation of both books their authors were in close contact.

The comment after 30 ... Qf2 reads: "finis". The rest of the game is in my oppinion just one of the two variations which Nogueiras/Seiro-Gonzalez gave to show that Black is winning indeed.
