offramp: <diagonal: Marvelous photo by Gerhard Hund from that game at the World Junior Chess Championship in Dortmund 1980...> That's really good, <diagonal>. Thanks very much!
The position on both demo board and game board is this one, after 20.Nf3-e5.
 click for larger viewThere are no less than 4 cans of Sinalco on the table; three are on Karolyi's side but I think one of the gold cans is unopened and is intended for Kasparov. Oddly, both players are using straws! 17-year-olds!
Kasparov has placed his straw wrapper in the otherwise unused ashtray. An ashtray - that brings back memories. But this is at a junior tournament. How many smokers were there? Karolyi is wearing a stylish but Harry-Hillishly large pink/white & blue-striped shirt. Kasparov wears a green roll-neck jumper. He is also wearing jeans. I believe jeans were frowned upon by Soviet authorities in the USSR of the 1980s. But Kasparov is in Germany so he doesn't give a toss. Kasparov also sports what I believe was unkindly termed a jewfro. The epitome of the jewfro was John Turturro's super-excellent bouffant in the kinematographic feast "Barton Fink". There is a sign behind Kasparov. "Quiet, please".
On the demo board, on f5, there is a ectoplasmotic manifestation which is probably Kasparov's orgonic ether-double sending waves of hesitancy-energy to his unsuspecting opponent. See Book of OAHSPE, page 75. |
