Cibator: Amazed it was all of thirteen years before anyone noticed Mephisto was being confused with The Turk!

Cibator: Does he ever play the Exchange Variations of the Spanish or the Queen's Gambit? Seems unlikely ... ;-)

Cibator: One latter-day version (courtesy of Steeleye Span) goes thus: Oh come lands, or come towns,
Oh come tinker or come tailor;
Come fiddler, come dancer,
Come ploughman or come sailor;
Come rich man, come poor man,
Come fool or come witty -
Come on any man at all,
...

| |
|
Cibator: It's a young Ray Keene (only 14 at the time, though already a rising talent) against a much more experienced 18-year old.

Cibator: Thanks for posting the game <Nosnibor>. As a matter of interest, where did you get it? I've only seen it myself once before, in a long-defunct UK publication that I no longer possess.

| | Dec-22-13 V Ciocaltea vs J Kozma, 1963
| |
|
Cibator: Once again, Black chokes on the old bone-in-the-throat (a White P at h6) coupled with the thrust e6 clearing the way for an inrush of White pieces. For another example see: P N Lee vs I Radulov, 1965 .

| | Sep-02-13 A J Donnelly vs E Pollington, 1963
| |
|
Cibator: <BOSTER>: The game dates from 1963. First postings about it here were in 2004, indicating it was put on the database in that year or just before, ie about 40 years after it was played. That was the basis for my previous comment.
