6 of the 8 pieces on the board are on the b-file.

May-15-14  Howard: Larsen said in "Chess Life and Review" that playing over this game was "more fun than reading most comics".

He was probably right.

I think Kavalek said in "Chess Life and Review" that the pieces (from Black's perspective) formed the letter 'J', but he phrased it "J for Joke".

He had a very rough start to this tournament be came back impressively in the 2nd half of the event.
