Sep-22-03 Benjamin Lau : I thought this was the Rubinstien variation? By the way, a very funny game.

Sep-22-03 PinkPanther : <I thought this was the Rubinstien variation? By the way, a very funny game.> It is the Rubinstein Variation, but the Reshevsky Variation is a sub-variation of the Rubinstein Variation.

Sep-22-03 Benjamin Lau : I see. Which one is the Reshevesky variation? Which line is it?

Sep-23-03 PinkPanther : 1.d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e3 0-0 5. Ne2 (These opening moves constitute the Reshevsky variation of the Nimzo Indian.)

Sep-23-03 drukenknight : where's that f3 move when you need it? Is Gheorghieu around?

Sep-23-03 4daluvofchess : no way reshevsky played this crap, unless it was drunken blindfold blitz or something

Sep-24-03 aulero : This game reminds me one of mine:

1. d4 ♘f6 2. ♗g5 e6 3. e4 c5 4. e5 h6 5. ♗d2 ♘e4 6. ♗e3 ♘c6 7. c3 d6 8. f4 cxd4 9. cxd4 dxe5 10. dxe5 ♗b4+ 11. ♘d2 ♘d4 12. ♘e2 ♕h4+ 13. g3 ♘f3# The white player, one of the friends that taught me chess, was simply shocked.

Sep-24-03 Benjamin Lau : <PinkPanther: 1.d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e3 0-0 5. Ne2 (These opening moves constitute the Reshevsky variation of the Nimzo Indian.) > Pinkpanther, there is no ...o-o in the gamescore. Margolit played c5, which later led into the Rubinstein variation.

Benzol : White can't even play 9.♕a4+ ♕xa4 10.♖xa4 because of 10...♘d3+ 11.♔d1 ♘xf2+ picking up a Rook. How is it that Reshevsky a noted expert on the Nimzoindian fell into this one?

Dec-03-05

FSR : I've seen this game referred to elsewhere as having been played in a simul, which would make sense.

Dec-10-05 chesscrazy : Yes, Samuel Reshevsky himself played this horrible game. <FSR> This was played in a simul.

Mar-22-07 ughaibu : Hey! RookFile! Look at this!!

Mar-22-07 sitzkrieg : Clearly a thrown game...

Mar-22-07

technical draw : Give the man a break! Reshevsky had been playing simuls for about 50 years when he played this game. He was probably hallucinating after playing the same variation for about the trillionth time.

Mar-23-07 RookFile : Well, this is silliness, of course. White just plays 9. cxd5 exd5 10. Nf4 and has a clear advantage bordering on an outright win.

Mar-23-07 HLecter : RookFile: Well, this is silliness, of course. White just plays 9. cxd5 exd5 10. Nf4 and has a clear advantage bordering on an outright win. well. looks to me like 9.cxd5 also runs into 9. ... Nd3++ ;)

Mar-23-07 RookFile : Ah, yes, thank you sir. I had my move numbers wrong, I meant on the previous move, in lieu of 8. axb4.

Jan-17-09 WhiteRook48 : Reshevsky got checkmated??!!

Nov-18-10 Tigranny : How could Reshevsky overlook the smothered mate?

Oct-05-12 The Last Straw : 9.♘g3 should probably should be 1-0 so Mr.Margolit got lucky! I still don't see why 8.axb4 is bad.

Jan-29-14 gabriel112000 : After 9. ♘g3 ♕xa1 10. ♕xa1 ♘c2+ with a clear advantage to black.

Mar-26-18

Korora : <How could Reshevsky overlook the smothered mate?> Maybe he was going over so many possibilities in his head that some fell out.

Sep-12-19

saffuna : This is the only game in the db with 7. Bd2, And I guess it left d3 unprotected.
