Apr-21-07		keypusher: Reshevsky does a Morphy impression, to great effect.

Apr-26-10		ozmikey: Impressive calculation, considering Reshevsky must have worked out all the ramifications of 20. Nf3 before he went in for the 16. Bxc6+ line.

Jun-02-19		LoveThatJoker: Good Title for game. LTJ

Jun-02-19		Ilkka Salonen: Reshevky's good play didn't help USA to a match victory, though as Ojanen vs Evans and Byrne vs Salo were drawn and on board four Aatos Fred won Bisguier.

Jun-02-19		Ironmanth: Love this game! Surround, overwhelm, conclude! Thanks, chessgames! Y'all have a super weekend.

Jun-02-19		Swedish Logician: Yet again when B��K is playing either side, the pun is awful; Eeero B��k was NOT called "book". CG gets the name right in the description, but wrong in the heading. Cannot this be put right? It really shows lack of respect for a fine player.

Jun-02-19		paavoh: B��k had an even score with Reshevsky (+1, =1, -1). Check out his equally impressive win at: E E Book vs Reshevsky, 1937 And thanks <Swedish Logician>, you are absolutely correct about English puns upon his name. Next time, the punster could try "Beech", perhaps?

Jun-02-19		ajile: Isn't this just basically a Benko Gambit?

Jun-02-19		cunctatorg: Benko Gambit of course, ... Catalan or whatever, it's a delightful game indeed!!

Jun-02-19		thegoodanarchist: <Swedish Logician: Yet again when B��K is playing either side, the pun is awful; Eeero B��k was NOT called "book". CG gets the name right in the description, but wrong in the heading. Cannot this be put right?> And hopefully before we get a pun about e-books...

Jun-02-19		RookFile: Everybody has his take on this game. It actually reminds me more of the Blumenfeld Counter Gambit.
