Oct-24-07  xeroxmachine: Why on earth give away your queen like that? Stupidity!
Oct-24-07  whiteshark: Black out; mixed two moves or s.th. like that...

Hey, xerox, your speech impediment has gone. :D

  Chessical: "<Excitement Upset His Nerves>

In a tournament Prague last night a player knocked down one of his own men and stormed from the hall where the game was being played. The outburst was in a game - of chess! Frayed nerves caused Gligoric, of Jugoslavia, playing Stolz, of Sweden, to knock his own king from the board and stamp from the hall at the 30th move, giving up a game which he had virtually won."

<Derby Daily Telegraph - Thursday 17 October 1946 - p.10>

Jul-02-14  jerseybob: Let me try to psychoanalize white's blunder, having made a few myself: After 23..Kf8, the white queen is pinning a piece on f5. Gligo might've thought that piece was the knight, not the bishop.

  Fusilli: <jerseybob> I suspect you are right. In Gligoric's mind, the bishop and knight switched places.
Aug-03-25  fabelhaft: Gligoric hanging the queen on move 24 is surprising enough, but that he keeps playing six moves after that, in classical, is maybe even more surprising.

  perfidious: Note to the blunder by Gligoric from the tournament book:

<....The extraordinary thing is that Gligoric afterwards explained he intended following a line leaving the Queen on f3 for another move!>
