Oct-28-09    Moonstone: Happy Birthday Janos! May-06-12    JohnDahl: Bobby's friend. May-06-12    HeMateMe: How is he Bobby's friend? May-06-12    JohnDahl: It's known that he was Fischer's gofer in Budapest. At least until the point he threw out some of Bobby's cardboard boxes which he mistakenly thought contained nothing but rubbish. Bobby was less than pleased to put it mildly. May-06-12    HeMateMe: You don't mess with his Bobness. Dec-30-12    GrahamClayton: Here is nice finish by Rigo against Lajos Szell in the 1978 Hungarian championship: click for larger view Rigo won with 1. g6 hxg6 2. e8!, when Black has no defence against 3. xf8+ & 4. h8#.
