| withingrace: thats a fantastic mate sequence. |

| amateur05: I can't see why I should have respect for someone who DELIBERATELY loses his games. Does he have enough respect for his opponents? If you don't know what I am talking about just check out his recent games (e.g. Argentina 2008). |

| cydmd: Past talks by itself. Although a bit unorthodox player, Larsen was truly one of the great chessplayers of his time. Let's forget the silly things an old man does. |

| SuperPatzer77: Miguel Najdorf's brilliant move is 35...Qh5!! that keeps the White King at bay - that's a real killer. It is impossible for White to defend against the mating threats. SuperPatzer77 |

| YoungEd: After 12 moves or so, White had what at least superficially looks like an ideal Bird's-type setup. Najdorf showed the weak point of the system with the c4 push, which pretty much bottled up White on the Q-side. Nice game throughout by Black! |

| BISHOP TAL: Bent Larsen was a very good player that deserves respect.He probably continues to play cuase he loves the game like V.K. he is past his prime he was never was a threat to the russian supmecey he wasnt that good only Fischer was.Fischer over Spassky by about 2-1 fischer over petrosain by about 2-1 fischer over Larsen 6-0 speaks for itself. Fischer quit too early people dislike him for it Larsen continues play seemly past his prime and is disliked by some for it. Moral of the story play till u want no-matter what anybody thinks if your a loser and your enjoying the game your still a winner. If sombody got that in Bobbys head so it stuck we prolly would have been blessed with many more fine games by him |

| AnalyzeThis: <amateur05: After looking at Larsen's recent disastrous performance in Argentina I get the impression that he's an annoyingly weak player who sometimes (very rarely) likes to surprise others and himself. How did he become a GM anyway? > You sort of get to be a GM when you're one of the top 5 players in the world, play board 1 in the USSR vs. World match and win, and win a host of tournaments. Larsen did all this in the 60's and 70's. |

| whiteshark: Unbelievably this outstanding game was Najdorf's only win in Lugano! |

| Fusilli: <sagahelten> <In the sixties Larsen was one of the top western GMs> ... <When his dream about becoming a World Champion was shattered by Fischer, he seemed to become somewhat less ambitious.> I agree with the first point. The second one, I'm not so sure. Larsen always had enormous fighting spirit. And he still does (his disastrous performance in his last tournament in Argentina does not disprove this.) His peak was in the sixties and early seventies, but still as late as 1979 he won Buenos Aires' Clarin tournament with +9 =4 -0 beating Andersson, Ivkov, Quinteros, Rubinetti, Petrosian, Spassky, Tempone, Panno and Franco. His shortest draw was in 40 moves. Those of us following the tournament in Buenos Aires in 1979 loved him for this and the fantastic play he delivered, and remember him for that. Next year he won the tournament again (+8 =3 -2) beating Najdorf, Hort, Panno, Balashov, Kavalek, F.Olaffson, Browne and Giardelli |

| kamalakanta: Yeah, I guess Larsen was not that great a player....after all, this win over Fischer Fischer vs Larsen, 1970
any one of us could have done. Sure. Yeah, I remember how in 1967 he DOMINATED the chess world with incredible results everywhere. I believe he had the talent to be World Champion. But sometimes nerves come into play. After all, the game is played by men, not by computers, and that is part of the beauty of chess. |

| WhiteRook48: <amateur05> Larsen did not get himself mated on purpose. |
