Sep-02-12		Zugzwangovich: How does one pronounce "Smejkal"?

Sep-02-12		I play the Fred: I've always assumed it sounded like putting an "S" in front of "Michael".

Sep-02-12		perfidious: Something on the lines of SHMAY-kal. No doubt <Honza Cervenka> can enlighten we native English speakers on this. As an aside, 14.e3 is a well-known blunder which costs material. White had to play 14.f4 instead, as in Portisch vs Petrosian, 1966.
