| Jun-18-09 | | hedgeh0g: <a knight fork through the heart?> I thought forks had a hard time penetrating a chest of drawers... |

| Mar-25-11 | | kudubux: Ahhh! Did this guy teach Leko and Kramnik how to draw? |
|
| Mar-25-11 | | kudubux: But mind you, short draws save a lot of energy. I wonder where he spends it? |

 | | offramp: When Stoker mentions Iceland is it possible he meant the vague icy lands to the north of Europe? |

| | offramp: An unusual name-check, from the wikipedia article on Goulash: < Hungarian goulash variations:
Gulyás ŕ la Székely . Reduce the potatoes and add sauerkraut and sour cream ...> |
|
Nov-15-13
 | | Annie K.: The Székely are a Hungarian subgroup living in Transylvania, mostly in the Carpathian Basin, having their own traditions - culinary, dress, folklore - that differ considerably from the Hungarian "mainstream". :) It's also fairly common as a last name. |
|
| Nov-16-13 | | Granny O Doul: <It's also fairly common as a last name.> Sometimes altered to "C.K". |

However, these games would probably just clutter up the database with additional chaff.
For what they are worth, here they are.

From Chessbase's <Mega database 2013>. A collection of 23 quadrillion chess games played since 337BC. It is 98 yottabytes large so you need a big computer. |

| | offramp: <zanzibar: The PGN tag <Source "Chessbase"> is also a clue.> The pgn headers are massively longer than the games. |
|
Feb-01-15
| | zanzibar: <offramp> They do that because there's so few moves the game would float away otherwise. Everybody knows PGN headers are ballast:
<‘The PGN headers are ballast, sweetheart. Sheer ballast. If he didn’t have a PGN headers to hold on to, his feet would leave the ground. We’d never see our Zooey again.’> (Apologies to J.D.)
https://books.google.com/books?id=h... Szekely must be a pretty dang good artist, he's drawing all the time. Baboom. |

| | offramp: Yet another reference...
In the Times of London there is a very hard crossword every Saturday called The Listener Crossword. I normally have a go at it. On Saturday, 31st January 2015, the Listener Crossword was number 4331, titled 'Conduit' by Loda. Clue 22 was as follows:
<Unknown number taken in by devious sleek user of Hungarian idiots? (6)> The preamble would lead one to alter the word idiots to idioms. Directly below clue number 22 is the name Raymond Keene! A coincidence! |

 | | FSR: Not that those of us who write for Wikipedia know of: <Fewest moves played in a tournament> In the Premier I group at the 2003 Capablanca Memorial tournament, Péter Székely took just 130 moves (an average of 10 moves per game) to draw all 13 of his games. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_... |
|
Apr-23-15
| | FSR: I didn't realize that he had died later that same year. Maybe he was already in ill health at the time of the tournament where he drew all his games. But I don't think that this is what Capablanca meant when he spoke of "the draw death." |
|
Mar-31-16
| | offramp: His school pals called him the egghead from Szeged. |
|
Aug-25-16
 | | GrahamClayton: When Szekely drew all of his games at the Capablanca Memorial, did he offer a draw in all of those games? If so, why would all of his opponents accept the offer? Surely one of them would want to play on and try and win the game. |

Jan-26-17
| | offramp: I ave done bin watchin The Day Of The Triffids, 1962. The director was a young geezer from Hungary called Swinging Stevie Sekely
