Chess Game: Pullin-Diallo

beautiful attack

[LanceChui]

I thought this was a pretty cool game! I agree with what you said at the end, about being a "romantic attacking game", very interesting positions and possibilities!

[Alientcp]

haha, "romantic attack with kings all over the place" i lol it.

Greath game though.

how did chess help people??????

[GreenCastleBlock]

It solves disputes without physical violence, lowers cholesterol and fights free radicals.

@GreenCastleBlock It cures cancer, too:)

I can see the parallels between this game, and the 18th Century Romantic Period in chess. The Kings were always integral to the defence and attack of the central area. Lovely game, you can really see how the dynamics of chess has changed over the decades. I commend you sir.

[UKmarkj]

With over nine years of experience behind me I cannot emphasize how right you are. Good day sir!

WestsaaaaeeeeeD brova!

Very interesting as ever Matt, I had a good google around trying different combinations and stuff but couldn't find anything other than the page and dead link you did. Maybe just email Jack Peters and ask if he remembers writing it?

Isn't your queen screwed at 5:43? That is unless you move your bishop.

[poqoia]

Nevermind. I just got it.

[edmalikin]

Thanks for such an instructive video. I'll look into.

i think youtubes annoying spam filtering may have eaten my last comment because it had urls in it. but essentially, if you put the address that pages links to in 'the wayback machine' it shows some defunct but existant hits from 2003 and 2004. suggests that article may have existed at that point. let us know if you find it.

[GreenCastleBlock]

Nice call on the wayback machine. The problem is the crawler wasn't given access to the inner content of the LA Times website, it's just a bunch of pages asking the user to log in.

at 7:20 what about Rg1 check

[mavaddat]

Hey Matt, I looked into it and there is no such article. I'm fairly sure, because I actually perused all the articles by Jack Peters written for the LA Times (105 total) and there wasn't any for your game. You can see for yourself here: h t t p : / / articles.latimes . com / writers / jack-peters /

[GreenCastleBlock]

I know there is no such article on the website. But did it exist at any point? Or did the owner of that link farm just make up a game and link?

Did you notice on that list there is a huge gap between Jan. 2003 and 2007? Did he totally stop writing columns during that time?

Thanks for your efforts.

[mavaddat]

I think what happened was that the website labelled the link with the wrong game. It would be unlikely that it was a dead link, since it actually goes to an article by Jack Peters written on June 15 (which is the date that the URL specifies).

Yes, I did notice the gap. It does seem strange...

[dontwheynoeko]

wow very nice game thank you very much.

[bigcat55404]

Heh.  Well, there doesn't seem to be a trace of it anywhere on-line or on the LA Times site, so if you're super gung ho about it, I'd suggest trotting off to the local library and finding that issue of the LA Times on microfiche or something.

[GreenCastleBlock]

You'd have to be pretty gung ho about anything to involve a microfiche.

[DirtyGhettoKidnumba1]

Thanks for posting.

I always enjoy your videos.

[LotBlind]

That article? Not a clue, but it was enjoyable to watch the game and your analysis. Thanks for those!
