Feb-19-06		blingice: This should be a puzzle of the day. Mardle could've stopped this, I believe, rather easily if he interposed his to stop the check, in what seems like a very easy combination for a player to see, especially when playing with tournament time.

May-05-06		DanRoss53: <blingice> Indeed... 14. f2 xf2+ xf2 xf8 may even favour White slightly.

Jun-16-08		JimmyVermeer: According to Laszlo Polgar, these 2 played an identical game in 1965 that differed only on Gaprindashvili's 7th move. Either that or somebody has made a mistake (either Polgar or chessgames.com).

Sep-18-09		Phony Benoni: More likely, since this was played at the Hastings Christmas Congress held from December 1964 to January 1965, it's the same game. Some people would record the date as "1964", some as "1965", and the whole thing is a big Mardle. Happens all the time with these Hastings tournaments.
