May-24-08		Marmot PFL: <BISHOP TAL:> Judging from this game a draw with Sammy is hard to believe (unless he was a major Bogart fan).

May-26-08		BISHOP TAL: <marmot PFL:> I agree marmot, but chessgames says he did it in a simultanous exhibtion maybe he was a bogie fan lol,like to see more games by him.

May-26-08		Benzol: <BISHOP TAL> <Marmot PFL> Have you read my post of January 3rd 2008 on the Bogart thread?

May-27-08		BISHOP TAL: I have now tks Benzol. thats somthin ud think they would mention in a 45 biography. hollywood legend drew former united stated champion even if it was simulatanous.

Sep-14-09		whiteshark: 13...Nf6 would have led to another game. Why do people sometimes place their pieces on the wing opposite to the 'action side'?

Sep-14-09		alayo: 14.Re7 1-0

Sep-14-09		paavoh: <al wazir> <"...It just goes to show: the stronger the player, the earlier he resigns..."> Interesting advice, I should try this in the future. What do you suggest as a proper move number to tip one's King? Let's see if my improved performance will then compensate the rating loss from those early resignations - all this jokingly, of course... ;-)

Sep-14-09		whiteshark: <alayo: 14.Re7 1-0> Is that a direct response to my suggested <13...Nf6>? If so, <14...Bxe7> is my answer. :D

Sep-14-09		gus inn: The concluding h4 is a nice little and effective move. not a bad idea of Humpreys to toss in the white towel:) And to <whiteshark> yes -13Nb6 is a big mistake and likely an indication that H.B. never would become a gift to the world of chess. But Casablanca is pretty close to Capablanca.

Sep-14-09		Eisenheim: Actors - is there anything they can't do?!?

Sep-14-09		andymac: 22. ? is a good puzzle. Friday maybe (for the distraction of winning the Queen if nothing else)?

Sep-14-09		kevin86: Not an Oscar-winning performance by the loser. A result that would make me roll my steel balls-lol

Sep-14-09		kingfu: If Bogart is in the credits, see it. Bogart would hustle chess for 25 cents a game in New York during the depression. For all scifi geeks (which seems to correlate with chess) , you should see The Return of Doctor X which stars Humphrey. Who is the Bogart of today? Answer: Nobody. Who could be named Humphrey in 2009 and NOT get beat up?

Sep-14-09		Anatoly21: Immediately looked over the game and thought to myself: "Man, this game is of terribly quality for a game of the day." Took me a second to realize these were just amateurs, and remarkably good ones considering their careers.

Sep-14-09		desiobu: Found an interesting detour to this opening with ...c6 in I Solonar vs A Madan, 2001. I think black traded queens too quickly there.

Sep-14-09		tivrfoa: hey folks, help me! I can't find escape for black after 22. gxf5

Sep-14-09		WhiteRook48: this is crazy

Oct-04-12		Abdel Irada: <al wazir>: <It just goes to show: the stronger the player, the earlier he resigns.> Thank you for that useful advice. From now on, I will resign before my opponent finishes setting up his pieces. I should be world champion in no time.

Feb-11-14		Karpova: Several important corrections (will be submitted) from Edward Winter's C.N. 8536, where Luc Winants, who had access to the actual score, writes: <In fact, it is the game Limbos v Klausner, played on board five in a match between the chess clubs of Le Cygne (Brussels) and Maccabi (Antwerp) on 7 July 1929. This is proven by the original score-sheet, as well as by Limbos’ personal notebook, in which he rewrote his games. The final move was 22 Qh6+, and not 22 h4 as given in the book.> The actual game score is reproduced there: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... Black: Klausner Site: Belgium Date: 1929.07.07 Last move: 22.Qh6+

Oct-12-17		morfishine: I nominate this for most inane comment of the century: <al wazir...It just goes to show: the stronger the player, the earlier he resigns> *****
