Shadout Mapes: Geller lead Korchnoi by half a point in the 1960 USSR championships, and in the penultimate round Korchnoi faced Geller as black and decided that he would only be satisfied with a win: Geller vs Korchnoi, 1960 . Not a match, I know, but considering the opposition and the ...

Shadout Mapes: <Eyal> Very important correction: after 49.Nxe4 the position is won for <black> in 208 moves. After reading your post I stared at the position for a while in disbelief before checking the tablebase myself to see white's win!

| |
|
Shadout Mapes: Some bebop fans in the chessgames.com staff? Max Roach played in some killer groups (I love his work with Clifford Brown and Sonny Rollins). Nice tribute.

| |
|
Shadout Mapes: In Curacao 1962, Fischer finished fourth with negative scores against Petrosian, Geller, and Korchnoi (crosstable: http://www.queensac.com/archive/tou... ); I doubt he was strong enough to win the championship at that time. I think he had a great shot at the title in 67-68, ...
