| Jul-21-06 | | notsodeepthought: <soberknight: Before Nixon resigned, he famously raised his hand.> It was raised in a "V" sign - possibly in honor of Victory Baranova (who, based on the two games in this database, was actually a winner - unlike Nixon). |

|
| Jul-21-06 | | think: It is simple to see that 22. Qf1 loses the exchange to Ng5, but what happens after 22. Qe1? |
|
| Jul-21-06 | | Tariqov: 22...Bb3 and 23...Nc2.
|
|
| Jul-21-06 | | CapablancaFan: If 22.Qe1 white loses the exchange no matter how he responds. 22.Qe1 Bb3 23.Nxb3 axb3 24.Rb2 Nc2!(Forking the queen and rook). |

| Jul-21-06 | | Aspirador: <I am not A Crook!">
I just read this yesterday on http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/List_o...: "I am not a crook" Richard Nixon.
Often attributed to his denial of any foreknowledge of the Watergate break-in, when in fact the question raised in a Press Conference was about his personal finances. |
|
| Jul-21-06 | | RandomVisitor: Nixon was hanging in there and might have avoided resigning until he made the back to back blunders 27.Rxe8? and 28.Kf2?, better were 27.Nde4 and 28.Bb2. The rest is history. |

|
| Jul-21-06 | | kevin86: It's funny! Now Nixon is remembered for opening China as much as his faux pas in the white house. The game is not very noteworthy-white will not only be impeached,but also a rook down-so Nixon resigned.LOL |
|
| Jul-21-06 | | Kreifi: So the game lasted 5 yers. :P
Master of the puns, master. |

America needs a full-time President and a full-time Congress, particularly at this time with problems we face at home and abroad." |
|
| Jul-22-06 | | euripides: <Dick Nixon.The 2nd worst criminal in the history of the presidency.> you refer to the Great Peanut Fraud ? |
|
| Jul-22-06 | | kevin86: <Euripides> Don't get me started! Let's see:a crooked election,a crooked war,the worst poll numbers in history---need I say more? My choice for #1 would be the current resident:GWB Coward that he was as a youth,He would have resigned before the game even started. |
|
| Jul-22-06 | | Resignation Trap: I wonder what Nixon would have played against the Stonewall Variation. |
|
Jul-23-06
 | | Open Defence: he probably said "I have not a Rook" in this game hehehehe |
