Their wisdom is immense and timeless...

   Mar-25-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)

birthtimes: The top players of today are much worse than those of 50 years ago!!! You can have these guys--I'll take Tal, Petrosian, Spassky, Geller, Smyslov, Bronstein, Keres, Gligorich, and Fischer!!!

   Mar-24-13 Petrosian vs Portisch, 1974

birthtimes: If 25...Kf8 then 26.Rad1 Ke7 27.c5 Rab8 28.cxb6 axb6 29.Bxb6 Rxd2 30.Bc5+ and White is a pawn up with a winning position! Also this is another excellent example of the winning advantage of rook(s) and bishop versus rook(s) and knight endgame!!!
