Aug-06-04		ArturoRivera: The first and last game played by Kornchnoi with the bird's opening in the hole database, hail Kornchnoi, the iron man!

Aug-06-04		Zenchess: Goldberg was one of Botvinnik's seconds; Korchnoi may have played this to avoid any special preparation they make have been working on.

Aug-07-04		ArturoRivera: <Zechess> you mean that Goldberg was very prepared for normal openings such 1.-e4 and 1.-d4?

Aug-07-04		Zenchess: Yes; Goldberg would have been better prepared for those.
