| drukenknight: Honza do you like this game? Gligoric is one of your favorites, yes? |

| exchange: Honza, I enjoy your commentary immensely. Please continue to answer weaker player's legitimate questions. BUT BEWARE OF DRUNKENKNIGHT. He is not a serious individual, he is up to no good. |

| pawntificator: exchange!! Don't be so hard on Druke...he isn't intentionally trying to be a bad influence on young impressionable chess players...at least I sincerely hope not... by the way, I'm on to you exchange!! I know who you are!! heh heh, you left a clue or two and I figured it out! But don't worry, I won't tell ;) |

| Honza Cervenka: Yes, I like it. Both players played the game excellently. |

| Danilomagalhaes: Maybe it was better Be3 than Be2 at 6th move |
|
| Oct-18-02 |
| Danilomagalhaes: Maybe a better move is 26. Dd2... |

| drukenknight: IT's a crazy game full of traps and suprises. I want to look at two moments: whites 20th and blacks 22nd. On the 22nd why doesnt he start w/ a Q check first? What does "D" mean? I know this is a european abbreviation, (German? french?) can you refresh us as to what those letters are? |

| Sneaky: "D" is German, Spanish, etc. for the Queen. (Dama, Dame, etc.) Also, when you see a "T" it's always a rook (a "tower"). And Germans use L's (Laufer, or archer) for their bishops. It's also very common, especially in the chess problems, to see "S" (German Springer) for knights. I've always liked that, as the letter "S" kind of looks like a knight, don't you think? |
|
| Oct-18-02 |
| drukenknight: "T" I remember because it looks like the way a rook moves. S also it looks like the N. D I always forget. |

| Danilomagalhaes: Black played more on defense, but with strategy and played the moves in the right time. White tried to get space and have complete control of the center. Draw. If white was playing throught this way, I think that there are better moves than Bxd4, but it has to be thought hard, because of the big menaces of the N at d4. |

| Danilomagalhaes: I´m from Brazil. These are the letters:
N-- C-- "Cavalo"
Q-- D-- "DAMA"
P-- P-- "PEÃO"
R-- T-- "TORRE"
K-- R-- "REI"
B-- B-- "BISPO" |
|

| Sneaky: Druke, just remember that "D" is the "dame" (no offense, ladies) |
|

| drukenknight: T for Torre? Have you played Torre's defense: the Mexican, also known as two knights tango: 1 d4 Nf6 2 Nf3 Nc6. This is a fun one. He beat Lasker w/ it I think so it became famous. |

| drukenknight: Honza you out there? Wouldnt Gligorich be better off w/ 24 Nd6? |

| Alaric: Nxc5 was an excellent way to obtain a draw in a losing position. The first time I saw this game I was thinking, why on earth did a GM trade a knight for a pawn but now I know: Gligoric wanted to clear the path for the Queen to go to g6 |

| aw1988: druken, which knight? Ncd6 or Ned6? |
|

| JohnBoy: I presume the c8 knight, although it doesn't matter. Both are lousy at d6 in this position. If the c8 knight (the better of the two choices), then black plays 24...Ne3+ and is able to extract the knight, up an X for an isolated pawn. If the e4 knight, "threatening" the pawn on g6, black plays 24...Ne3+, retreating the knight and treatening to pick up material with ...Raxc8. If 25.Kf2 then ...Nf5+ winning. If 25.K elsewhere then ...Raxc8. The bishop will interpose (to avoid cute things like Qe6+ hitting c8). |

| aw1988: Wow, Fischer defends like a god. |
|

| sharkbenjamin: Gligoric vs Fischer, 1961 this is a great game: white is a rook behind and saves the game with "perpetual threat"!! |
|

| Achilles87: Spanish is
King is R Rey
Knight is C Caballo(Spanish for Horse)
Bishop is A Alfil
Rook is T Torre (Spanish for Tower)
Queen is D Dama (Spanish for Dame)

| Rubenus: Dutch:
K = K (Koning)
Q = D (Dame, as Sneaky said)
R = T (Toren) [=tower]
B = L (Loper)
N = P (Paard) [=horse] |

| WhiteRook48: great game by Gligoric |

| lost in space: German:
K = K (könig) [king]
Q = D (Dame) [Lady]
R = T (Turm) [tower]
B = L (Läufer) [courser]
N = S (Springer) [jumper]
P = B (Bauer) [farmer] |
