| | Jun-09-12 Benko vs Fischer, 1958
| |
|
GrenfellHunt: 38. Rd7! is a lovely move. Put that one in a tactics book. :)

| | May-31-12 Gelfand vs Karpov, 1994

|
GrenfellHunt: Can anyone explain the classic Karpov-style 17...Nf8? Rybka likes 17...Qxa2 here (d/13).

| | Mar-04-09 Fischer vs Benko, 1963
| |
|
GrenfellHunt: Gee, if Fischer wasn't a genius, then there are no geniuses in chess. His 20-0 streak against the leading GMs of his day is one of the most amazing parts of his claim to greatness, and no one has ever come close to matching that: neither Lasker nor Alekhine among the older ...
