 THERE HAS BEEN NO EXACT SAME CHESS GAME PLAYED BETWEEN COMPETANT PEOPLE. YES, THERE HAS BEEN BETWEEN INCOMPETANT PEOPLE (i.e. 4-move-checkmate) BUT NONE BETWEEN THE COMPETANT PEOPLE

 ah my friend not quite true.

I played a game on another site not long ago where I drew a 2100ish player in 29 moves... the game (partially by coincidence) matched up PERFECTLY to one played by Kasparov (against some guy I don't remember his name)...

 

It has happened from time to time.

yep very good puzzle.

I disagree,I just played in a tourn. 2 weeks ago and played one game in particular a draw against a 2215 rated player that i was very happy with. Now to say this entire game has been played before from move one all the way to move 36 is just ridiculus.the_chairman wrote:

basically anything you do in chess is almost garentied to have happened somewhere before. yes this puzzle is known by lots of people but so are your games that you play. i guarentee that your games were once played by someone else before you. its the way the game is

 It's called Stamma's Mate after Philip Stamma.

 (I didn't know this I just googled it)

I'd assume most simple chess puzzles have come up some time in the past (anything with only four pieces, two of which are kings, has certainly been solved before), but I know I've seen this exact puzzle somewhere else on this site.

I don't have a link, and I don't have the next few minutes to search for it, but I know this exact puzzle is posted somewhere else on chess.com.

I'm not trying to accuse anyone of plagiarism or anything, but I know it's far from a unique puzzle.  It's probably the title of the thread that's setting some people off.

i agree with tonightonly, most games are never repeated, only a very small amount of games are repeated
Yellow_015
yes. most games arnt repeated. however positions are. a position in a game can be acheived in many different ways. to say that every position is origional is kinda holding to an ideal view of chess. most positions are found in different ways and to say that someone got to a position and found a certain mate from it is only possible through stealing someone elses ideas is very accusing, and is very disrespectfull to a player who may have found this out purely through their own gameplay. it almost seems like you beleive chess is played badly by anyone who isnt a top player, in reguards that if they happen to find a good or popular position that they must have stolen it from someone else. i dont agree with this.

The way he worded his statement its very easy to think that he meant he created it, and its the first time he has posted his creation, only he can say exactly what he meant. It would be interesting to hear from him at this point to clear it all up.

actually first my friend showed this puzzle to me and i posted it but i never knew it was from a book .sorry to all!!! 


firerods
