jrlepage: Won't try this in French with Vachier-Lagrave though. Way too dangerous.

jrlepage: *La diagonale du fou / Dangerous Moves*
This film is all about chess from beginning to end and is the only one of that kind I know of. It's been put on Youtube a month ago and is a must see for all lovers of the game. No turkey here: it won the Academy Award for Best Foreign ...

jrlepage: <James Bowman: which those with more than hindsight could see that it was inevitable> Congrats on your ESP. Each time I lose a few bucks on a lottery ticket, I damn myself and my parents for lacking that special gift of God. And what's with that GO GO GO thing?

jrlepage: <bumble46: I voted <48.Nf6+> with a draw offer. This game is drawn and should end as quickly as possible.> Same here. No need to whip a dead horse.

jrlepage: Korchnoi just whammed White's position with his Big Foot on move 24 (I know, somebody HAD to make that one...). <Elsinore> Too late, of course :)

|
jrlepage: R Byrne vs Fischer, 1963 is indeed No. 1 for me too. However, my favorite for 1969 remains: Saidy vs Fischer, 1969

jrlepage: Yet, he's (most probably) going to end in first place ahead of Anand or Kramnik. Once again. What's the problem with those last two, not able to squash those weakies?
