Bird's Opening [The following game is, we believe, the longest game on record
as regards the number of moves, and it is also remarkable in other respects.
It was played in the fifth round of the handicap of the City of London Chess
Club between Messrs. Bird and Potter. Its issue was of great importance, as
the loser of this game was to be thrown out altogether while the winner
secured, at least, the second prize, the two players having previously won a
game each and made three draws. The game lasted sixteen hours, and was played
in three sittings.] CPQC iv (Apr. 1875) pp.240-3 notes by Wisker, not input} 1.

websites or social media networks, on whether folks played chess better in the
past or in the present, the majority of respondents are quite confident with
the alleged supremacy against their forefathers. As far as I am concerned, I
am not so sure though. I could leave alone the numerous proponents of engine
based analysis of any chess game if I were sadly ignorant of the impact it
leaves on both their own and their reader's ability to think independently. As
to the second argument, an important consideration is comparison of beauty
between the moves of the past and the present. In an endless flow of modern

Just to be perfectly clear, there is nothing to be learned here. If you wish
to click the Continue button then you will not really be missing anything. For
those who are up for a little entertainment, read on. There may be a time when
you are standing in line at the DMV, or waiting behind someone with a problem
at the pharmacy counter. That could be a good opportunity to put this section
to use. I was going to tell the story of the best game I did not win here, but
after a couple thousand words I decided below, but as I mentioned, there is
nothing to be learned here, so it is only there for those who may be curious.
Sometimes, something more than simply learning a specific move can be
instructive. Sometimes psychology actually can become a weapon. And sometimes
Bird's Opening has a major role to play, so it all somewhat ties together. So
when you've got a few moments with nothing to do then copy the below link,
paste it into your browser's address bar, and enjoy a story that always gives
me a bit of a smile when I think of it. [ https://birdsopeningforclubplayers.
