Nov-24-03		PinkPanther: What the hell kind of move was 63....Kd7? I would have to put this endgame effort for black down as a failure, because I would think that about move 40 Black should have a at least a draw.

Mar-24-10		Cushion: Smyslov seemed to have the "Kasparov effect". His opponents would blunder in won positions. It seems like the mentally could not beat him.
