| | Jan-17-13 Carlsen vs Morozevich, 2012 
| |
|
Chesschatology: Nice annotations, <abuzic:>: it's funny how in some Q vs. pieces endgames with open Ks and no time on the clock, a pentium with Chessmaster '95 on it would probably outplay Carlsen and Morozevich. Comforting in a way.

Chesschatology: Fischer had a terrible life in many ways.
His true father was Jewish, a nuclear scientist who died in mysterious circumstances, possibly assassinated by Soviet agents. His Mother lied to him to conceal his parentage, and was a left-wing zealot. From the start, this left him

Chesschatology: I'm ashamed to admit I had to google GOOT to find out what it meant. A great concept <Once>!
I think my GOOT OAT is Karpov vs Taimanov, 1977
Karpov vs. Taimanov '77.

Chesschatology: Nice finish! Would make a good Thursday puzzle?

Chesschatology: Poor old Aaron. He was coaching my school around the time this game was played. For some reason he never showed it to us...

Chesschatology: White's plan must be Nf2, freeing his King. If Black blocks his path with Ba6, then Ng4.
