   Feb-11-13 J Rindlisbacher vs G Jolliffe-Byrne, 2012 (replies)
 
Diocletian: QxR+. Now if otb Caissa would whisper to me, "It's Monday, it's Monday...."

Diocletian: Happy Birthday to a great sportsman, a real gentleman and a great player who gave chess decades of superb games. Have a good one, GM & WC Boris Spassky.
 
   Dec-31-12 Robert James Fischer (replies)
 
Diocletian: I don't know if Fischer was the greatest in history or if he would beat Kasparov. I know he was certainly one of the greatest and left some stunning games. He provided me with more entertainment, more excitement than I knew at any other time. I watched his rise to the ...
 
   Jul-16-12 F Beeckmans vs J Renet, 1998 (replies)

   Oct-15-10 Petrosian vs Fischer, 1971 (replies)
 
Diocletian: From as early as move 6 or 7 Fischer is behind in development, and because of this I think it was not such a good game. I watched these games live on a demonstration board with moves delivered by telephone. As I recall, Fischer was sick with a bad cold during this time and drew ...
