 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: "San Andreas' Fault." My oh my. On one day, for one game, Deuckstein becomes the greatest player in the world. Never could say the same myself. |
|
Jan-27-21 | | carpovius: Impressive Soviet team and its results! Fantastic Tal's performance 13.5/15! |
|
Oct-15-21 | | areknames: A most enjoyable pun! I wasn't aware of this game or, for that matter, of Mr. Dueckstein who apparently is still with us. Great stuff and a great selection for GOTD. |

 | | OhioChessFan: Nice pun, although I don't care for the apparently newly instituted policy of not using standard title capitalization. |
|

 | | OhioChessFan: Hmmm, after reviewing some GOTD archives, maybe it's just coincidence that lower case puns are more prevalent lately. |

Oct-15-21 | | Brenin: A fine win, to go along with victories over Euwe and Spassky. |

 | | WannaBe: Dang, from even pawns 6-6 to 6-3 (even if with double-up pawns)... Ouch. Nothing like watching your "Souls of Chess" getting wiped out on the board. |

 | | FSR: <Benzol: If I remember rightly the Soviet performance at Nice in 1974 was good too.> Indeed, the Soviets had a Nice performance, as you might expect, winning the A Final by 8 1/2 points. Karpov, Spassky, Petrosian, and Tal won individual gold medals on Boards 1, 3, 4, and First Reserve. But the gold medal on Board 2 was won by . . . Dueckstein! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21st_... |

 | | WannaBe: And the player on board #2 for USSR/Soviets/Russians was given a life time vacation in Eastern part of the country, close to the North Pole. Okay, okay, I am merely joking, don't flame me. |

 | | MissScarlett: I used Google to confirm that ducks are indeed fowl. That's the depths to which my level of research ascends. |
|
Oct-15-21 | | fabelhaft: <the gold medal on Board 2 was won by . . . Dueckstein> So the gold medal winner beat some guy who couldn't even see the board, no big deal. |
|
Oct-15-21 | | fabelhaft: Ducky was in his early 30s when playing this game 63 years ago, and still seems to be going strong: https://en.chessbase.com/post/austr... |

 | | Dionysius1: Ah hey :-) <MissScarlett>. You're a harsher analyst of the pun base than I am! I thought there was no-one more. |
|

 | | MissScarlett: Some might say the use of fowl language here is really, really unprofessional, but that would be daffy. |
|
Oct-15-21 | | nalinw: Who was Board 2 for the Soviet team in 1974 - Korchnoi I suppose? <FSR>: <Benzol: If I remember rightly the Soviet performance at Nice in 1974 was good too.>
Indeed, the Soviets had a Nice performance, as you might expect, winning the A Final by 8 1/2 points.

Oct-15-21 | | nalinw: Yes - it was Korchnoi

|
Oct-15-21 | | fabelhaft: The Olympiad after this one the Soviets won all their 20 matches and had +53-0=26 before Tal spoiled it all in the last round against Penrose. Then 1962 was a real disaster with no less than two lost games (Botvinnik again, and Geller). Still 18 won matches and 1 drawn of 19 in that one was decent. |
|
Oct-15-21 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: The USSR vs. Rest of the World match in 1970 was extremely close. The sequel in 1984 was fairly close as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USSR_... |

 | | FSR: To be honest, I don't fully understand it, but Stockfish 17 says that Black would have been better after 24...Na5! intending ...Nc4. This looks dangerous, since the knight can be pinned with Rc3. SF says that is the <only> good move, and that 24...e5? was a bad mistake, allowing 25.Nxc6 when both recaptures are bad. Note that Black's bishop on f8 ended up a spectator. |
|
Jan-29-25
 | | FSR: <OhioChessFan: Nice pun, although I don't care for the apparently newly instituted policy of not using standard title capitalization.> I wholeheartedly agree. |
|
Jan-29-25
 | | perfidious: With both of you there. |
|
Jan-29-25
 | | FSR: Look at that. <perfidious> and I agree with <OCF> on something. What a Kumbaya moment. |
