jackpawn: He played some big names, but not successfully . . .

| |
|
jackpawn: I just love some of Petrosian's games. Often I see lines he plays, but I reject them too soon. Guess that's why he was a world champion and I'm a borderline expert.

| | Oct-14-12 K Vygodchikov vs Alekhine, 1910
| |
|
jackpawn: I used to think Capa and Lasker were far greater talents than Alekhine. I do think they had an obvious greater postional feel early in their careers, but who else (aside from perhaps the early Tal) could play such a game as this? Alekhine was a genius.

| |
|
jackpawn: It's amazing that Marshall could be this weak (relatively speaking) at age 20 and then go on to become a strong grandmaster.

jackpawn: I tried real hard not to fall asleep for this one!
