Sep-15-03  erikcu: I had a dream once where this gorgeous lady in a silky black dress is extra nice to me, then I get a call and I learn that I have won the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes, then I sit down to play a game of chess with this total egotistical jerk and he opens black just like Trinks did. Then I wake up and it's Monday...
Sep-30-03  GoodKnight: Honestly! FOOL'S MATE!!!
Jan-09-04  Dillinger: thats the problem with the borg, you spend too many tempi defending the h5 square or else this happens. For eccentric grandmasters only.
Apr-28-04  ruylopez900: This would be why 1...a6 is played more often than the Borg, to easy to lett Fool's mate slip by...

  kevin86: The Borg:Resistance is futile!!!
Sep-15-04  offramp: I would call this opening the <Dutch, Extended Leningrad Fianchetto Defence.>
Mar-24-05  Karpova: <uncommon king's pawn opening> fitting description.
Jul-24-05  Whitehat1963: What were the players rated, I wonder. This looks like it was agreed upon beforehand.
Jul-24-05  Anatooly Homedepotov: Omahahaha! The "Mayfield Immortal!"
Only a master could violate the rule against bringing the queen out so early and get away with it!
Aug-12-05  Kelvieto: Maybe Mr. Trinks meant this game as a joke?
Sep-12-05  ianD: Me "trinks" this is a joke!!
Sep-12-05  fgh: Hehehe cool mate :-)
Nov-07-05  aerohacedor: This must be the shortest game in recorded history.
Nov-11-05  hidude: <aerohacedor> its not. Search one move kasparovs or 3 move kasparovs. They're funny
Nov-22-05  biglo: Has anyone else noticed that the "B00" ECO code on this page looks more like "Boo" in the default font which seems apt for such a terrible game :)
Nov-22-05  aw1988: It's APT!! APT!!!!
Nov-26-05  Chopin: This game must be fabricated, no one can be this bad!. I'm only being sarcastic. Tinks should have quit chess after this match. Last I checked he's a really good Tic Tac Toe player :)

  Benzol: I guess they don't play a lot of chess in Omaha.

:)

Nov-27-05  Chopin: I wouldn't make this blunder in a 1 minute speed chess game.
Nov-27-05  alexandrovm: Kasparov vs J Charambalos, 1997

<hidude: <aerohacedor> its not. Search one move kasparovs or 3 move kasparovs. They're funny> the above game is all I found.

Dec-05-05  EmperorAtahualpa: Well I wasn't familiar with the Borg defense, but if THIS is the Borg defense, I guess I've seen enough. :)
Jan-06-06  Necessary Truths: Hahaha! "Borg" is "Grob" spelled backwards. Funny way to name the opening reversed.
Feb-22-06  Timothy Glenn Forney: lol Borg defense! Is that Bjorn Borg? :)
Mar-01-06  Knight13: What the hell....
Nov-05-06  Rubenus: This can't be a joke. Who is so crazy that he wants to lose a fool's mate game and that the whole world knows he losed it!?
