| Nov-15-07 | | zealouspawn: Bogoljubov just looks out-classed here |
 |
| Nov-15-07 | | RookFile: No different than most other days - Alekhine, Capa, and Lasker all took turns slapping Bogo the clown around. |

| Mar-14-08 | | Knight13: Wow, I didn't know the super-passive, super-solid, super-defensive Benoni ever got used in WCC matches. Black usually go ...Be7 and ...Bg5 to try to trade off his bad bishop but Bogo went 4. f4? which is a mistake since now Black can just place a bishop on g7 and make it look shiny. |

 | | perfidious: From Alekhine's annotations to the fourth game:
<This game - more than any other - proves how useless from the sporting point of view was the arrangement of this second match, and at the same time explains my indifferent play on a number of occasions.> It's one thing to read this from the pen of Alekhine-not that its utter contempt much impresses me-but the 'Bogo the clown' bit from a random Internet type is over the top and what one would politely call disrespectful of a great player. Bogo wasn't in the class of the players named in the post above, but few were. Ever. |

Just imagine if someone called Ivanchuk "Chuck the clown" or Shirov "Shirov the clown"...
According to chessmetrics, Bogoljubov was even ranked #1 for a short period in 1927. |
