Talk:Philipp Stamma

date of match with Philidor
Here is mentioned 1745 but in Philidor is mentioned 1747. Does someone know which is correct? --YoavD (talk) 06:00, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

"Larousse du Jeu d'Échecs", which I consider a very reliable publication, gives 1747 as the correct year. Too bad these games were never recorded for posterity... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.208.146.141 (talk) 05:27, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

photo
I don't think the photo of the book should be in the info box. Bubba73 (Who's attacking me now?), 19:16, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Why not? Luis Ramírez de Lucena. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 00:30, 12 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Because the article is about the person, not the book. The photo of the book can go in the body of the article.  That is not a photo of Stamma.  Lucena should be fixed too.  Bubba73 (You talkin' to me?), 01:19, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Philidor - Stamma match result controversy
Concerning Bledow and von Oppen comment "I formerly thought that Stamma never played with Philidor this match... the event is reported only by Philidor's biographers, who differ and contradict one another in indicating the conditions of the match, and one could also have some doubts about the result in the way it is reported..."

I found everywhere the match result reported as +8 =1 -1 (or +8 -2 considering the match rules) in Philidor favour. Bledow and von Oppen suggest that there are other versions however. I remember years ago, I read somewhere that the match results was +8 -2 or +8 -4 according to the sources. Doas anybody knows something more about it? Sersunzo (talk) 03:33, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
