talfan: Frogbert, bureaucreat was just being ironic ( just like you on him ) about everyone who find easy to criticise the top players about their mistakes. His post was truly funny and well constructed, so please don't misunderstand it.

talfan: I've got that, pretty beautiful deflection from black mating treat while clearing the third rank for the rook.

talfan: Granny O Doul: Lasker had some good results at age 67-ish but 78 is really something else. Indeed, but at the time Lasker lived the live expectance and general medicine was at much lower levels, so it's hard to compare.

talfan: after 38. dxc5 white had 7! isolated pawns, and 6 of them doubled as well. Very unusual indeed.

talfan: drnooo: Rather than guessing, it would be nice if occasionally somebody would ask these guys just how clearly they do see things in blindfold. But I guess that's too simple. Well, I play blindfolded usually ( even simuls, going to try 5 boards today), and I can say that I don't "see"

talfan: that game was wild, entertaing chess, Ivanchuk's one of the most enjoyable player in the world
