Mar-23-07		hscer: is there any background story to this game?

Mar-23-07		dbquintillion: Don't know, but judging by Feliks' record in the database, perhaps it was a good idea.

Mar-23-07		Tomlinsky: It seems Feliks Villard played 6th board for the Estonian team in the 1936 Chess Olympiad. He even managed to notch up quite a respectable score and earned an individual bronze medal even beating Richter playing on the German top board. Paul Keres played top board for the Estonians. http://www.olimpbase.org/1936/1936i...

Jan-14-08		D.Observer: <<<<Is>this>a>real game?>

Mar-22-08		Wone Jone: <<<Yes>it>was!>

Jul-26-08		FizzyY: actually white resigned, not black. . .

Dec-29-08		eightbyeight: Which side do you think has the advantage in this position? Equal material, no positional advantages - looks like a draw to me. Well, White may have a small advantage because it's his turn.
