Aug-12-12 Polugaevsky vs Smyslov, 1979

| | Aug-11-12 Lutikov vs L Aronson, 1957
| |
|
Cardinal Fang: I assume that at the time Lutikov played this combination, he would have received not only a gracious handshake from his opponent, but also an enthusiastic round of applause from the audience - whether it was made up of grown-ups or indeed of children.

| |
|
Cardinal Fang: I scrolled down only as far as the sixth rank before solving this. I saw the black diagonal across the Black King, figured there had to be a Bishop ranging along it, and that therefore the Queen had to be hitting c6, followed by mate from either the other Bishop going to a6, ...

| |
|
Cardinal Fang: Pretty disgusting. Wang was 12 at the time and will (like his opponent) have had no say in proceedings. I hope one day the world situation changes to the extent that he is able to put things right.

| |
|
Cardinal Fang: <Necessary Truths> No, the game score is complete and correct. In fact, Bosboom offered a draw after playing 3. ... Bg4, and resigned after the computer played 4. Nc3. In 2000 the Dutch National Chess Federation made the controversial decision to allow Fritz to ...

| |
|
Cardinal Fang: Why aren't people allowed to compete in the Dutch Computer Chess Championships? Doesn't seem fair.
