Nov-02-04		vonKrolock: At a first sight, Bogo went wrong whith 31...Nh7??, overlooking a nice petite-combinaison... But this is a titanic game, deserving "Years of fervorous analysis", to quote J. Timman referring to a selection of significant clashes...

Dec-20-07		Gypsy: The final unkind point is 46.~ Re2#; even 46.Ke4 Re2# comes to the same.

Dec-21-07		RookFile: Bogo really hit the flohr in this one.

Dec-21-07		Gypsy: Bogo did not do that well against the young (AVRO) players of the 30's: Bogo - Flohr +2 -5 =1 Bogo - Keres +0 -4 =5 Bogo - Botvinnik +0 -1 =0 Bogo - Fine +0 -1 =1 Bogo - Reschevsky +0 -1 =0 Total: +2 -12 =6 Moreover, the two wins against Flohr are from Bled, 1931, when Flohr was playing for the first time at a really big international tournament. Otherwise, just 12 loses and 6 draws for Bogo against these five.

Dec-21-07		RookFile: Well, Bogo lost his games in equal opportunity fashion, as the old guard, Lasker, Capa, and Alekhine, put 47 victories up on the board against him.

Dec-21-07		slomarko: Bogo was a patzer

Dec-22-07		CapablancaFan: I refer to him as "Bogo the clown."
