Aug-10-05		prinsallan: I love those binding finishes. Discovered check wins here but the game is won much earlier than that, 12. Be3 is so calm and so quit, but thats where the attack actually starts. 13. Qh5 is the total opposite which seems to scream: CHARGE!

Apr-29-12		JohnDahl: <FIDE might also care to make an official inquiry into the highly irregular tournament that took place in a restaurant in Strumica, Macedonia, in 1995, to determine whether there is a case to answer. Azmaiparashvili, who won it with a massive 16/18, gaining 40 rating points, admitted no wrong-doing, but conceded in the same NIC interview that it had been a mistake to play there – a very peculiar comment considering that this was undoubtedly one of the greatest results of his career. The following game from that tournament has an interesting history: from beginning to end it is Garry Kasparov’s analysis. As a former second of Garry’s, Zurab would temporarily have had access to that information.> http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/... Short vs Kasparov, 1997
