These chess games are getting a little silly.
Previous contests have been between Immanuel Kant and David Hume, and Tobias Smollett and Ernst Gombrich.

Please. I think it's safe to say that Hume would slaughter Kant. Would Kantian ethics permit the Boden-Kieseritzky Gambit? Wasn't that Heidegger's central concern in Kant und das Problem der Metaphysik?

Hume did win, but it wasn't exactly a slaughtering. Kant was way up early on and then made a tactical blunder, evening the field, and then another later in the game.
Smollett, on the other hand, dominated.

Gombrich is often off his game.
