piroflip has kibitzed 189 times to chessgames   [more...]

Nov-27-12 Fischer vs Bisguier, 1957    piroflip: Bobby misses the simple 26. Na4 here. Of course he didn't have an engine like the rest of us.      Oct-11-12 Spassky vs Fischer, 1972    piroflip: Lots of comments here about the infamous Bxh2 but my engine needs 17 ply to see that this move is a mistake. How many of the anti-Fischer moaners here can see 17 ply ahead? It couldn't be that they just love to snipe at Bobby could it? Arrested for playing a game of chess and hated      Oct-02-12 Nigel Short    piroflip: Anybody wanting to see Nigel's win on British TV over Kasparov follow the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcc...      Oct-02-12 Graham Lilley   piroflip: I played Graham twice in my local league. He slaughtered me both times. He's a very nice guy too.      Sep-20-12 Smirnov   piroflip: A rating of 2637 and only six games in the database that are 32 years apart? What am I missing here?      Sep-03-12 Robert James Fischer    piroflip: It was forty years ago today. That Bobby taught the world to play. God bless you Bobby and STUFF the haters; most of whom wouldn't be playing chess now if it were not for you. R.I.P.      Jul-26-12 Spassky vs Fischer, 1972    piroflip: Just a blip on the way to the title. Spassky's elo rating was way below Fischers the day the match started. On paper at least it was a no contest. I do wish though that Bobby had taken the title by beating somebody else and not the very amiable Spassky.      Jun-28-12 Turochamp (Computer) vs Kasparov, 2012    piroflip: A fitting display of Turing's genius.      Jun-22-12 A Turing vs A Glennie, 1952    piroflip: It's very obvious that most smart a$$ posters here haven't got a clue about the history of this game. There was NO electronic playing engine. The moves were worked out on paper from a written program and then played.      Jun-11-12 Mark Taimanov    piroflip: Thankfully the pressure was off him a little after Fischer crushed Larsen.
