| Nov-21-21 | | stridergene: Amazing win by the Hungarians |
|
Nov-22-21
 | | keypusher: Kind of a shame that we just have long lists of games for the Olympiads on this site. And yes, it was an amazing win for Hungary. |
|
| Nov-22-21 | | Retireborn: <keypusher> See my comment to the Spassky-Timman game; Spassky vs Timman, 1978 I'd love to read a detailed account of this Olympiad. |

 | | MissScarlett: <Q: One of the reasons why you wore this this black suit against Fischer was that it was Sunday. Has it ever been a problem for you to be a Catholic in a socialist country? P: Actually never, because they never dared say anything about it. When they realized I was a religious person I was already a well-known chess player. For example, the morning after we had won the Chess Olympiad in Buenos Aires in '78, me and two other players ran into the chief of the Hungarian delegation in the hall of the hotel. Well, he was a nice man, but a strong communist. And he said, 'Where are you going?' And I said, 'To church to give thanks that we won the Olympiad.' And his answer was, 'Yes, well done, well done. Go, go.' (Laughs) It was a bit funny and we started to laugh, well, smile at least, that a communist leader should say something like that.'> Lajos Portisch (kibitz #35) |
|
| Nov-22-21 | | Retireborn: <MissS> Thanks, that's a nice story. <Stonehenge> Glad you're still here, I'd heard you'd left. Malwarebytes reports Olimpbase as phishing. Never had a problem with it before, is it still OK? |
|
| Nov-22-21 | | faulty: God really helped them. Check the final ten moves of Sznapik vs. Sax
Sax amazingly played with the pokerface after dropping a piece - and won |

| | Stonehenge: DuckDuckGo has no problem with it. A lot of chess sites get labeled as dangerous by antivirus companies for the simple reason they are offering 'games'. Maybe you can point out to them that their site report is incorrect. |

For someone not already using a (third party) 'line of defense' while browsing you can manually feed e.g. virustotal.com (still the place to go for a reasonable online scanner aggregator). As for most providers there are several tabs with more or less interesting additional info. One has to give props to OB they got their content type right, something that cannot be said for another chess site for ages. Basically 'phishy things' ain't possible, if you only consume (reading) and do not interact with a target at all. On that front, ok.

| | keypusher: <stonehenge> Thanks, I'd been on that site years ago but forgotten the name! |
|
| Nov-23-21 | | Retireborn: Been in touch with Malwarebytes and they confirm olimpbase is clean. No worries then. |

 | | moronovich: Great link <perfidious> Thanks ! And omg, how they smoked back then ;) |
|
Jan-10-25
| | perfidious: <moronovich>, indeed they did. Ever get to play anyone in that clip? I got to sit opposite a few. |
|
Jan-10-25
| | moronovich: Have shaked hands with a couple of them, Portisch, Kavalek, Spassky and have been sitting next to Sosonko at an open, But the highlight was spending a lot of time with the late Tony Miles were we also discussed a lot of chess and analyzed the Owens Defence for more than an hour. Had also a little pleasant chat with Spassky. All good memories. Oh, and almost forget Jan Hein Donner who succeeded to be his own true grumpy self ;) |
|
| Jan-10-25 | | Retireborn: God, they all look so young! And too many of them, Huebner, Korchnoi, Petrosian, Polu, Browne, Miles, Sax, Lombardy are no longer with us. I'd forgotten that Korchnoi played in this olympiad. I think it took a few more years for him to actually acquire Swiss nationality, but evidently FIDE weren't too fussy about that. |
|
Jan-10-25
| | moronovich: Sorry <perfidious>, forgot to ask : who have you met over the board ? |
|
Jan-11-25
| | perfidious: <moronovich>, those must have been terrific experiences with Miles and Spassky, the latter of whom I met once as well, but I had no chance to talk with him. Before I answer your question, with regard to <Retireborn>'s post, I wish to mention something en passant on Gulko, who was battling Bleiman. In early 1991, I was in Penn Station, New York, trying to fight my way through a typical Friday afternoon crowd, when I spotted Gulko and said hi to him. He looked astonished. Hard to believe how, aged 31 at Buenos Aires, Gulko appeared so much older then. Saw Gulko again the next year, when we played in the Quebec Open blitz tourney. Never got to face him, as two losses to Hergott and =1-1 vs Francois Leveillee put paid to getting a shot at the very strongest players. As to those in that video whom I met at the board, they were: Dzindzi, Browne, Lombardy and Hebert. |

| Jan-11-25 | | stone free or die: Korchnoi obtained political asylum in Switzerland in Sept 1979. https://www.e-newspaperarchives.ch/... It looks like Sept 25. |
|
| Jan-11-25 | | Petrosianic: <Korchnoi obtained political asylum in Switzerland in Sept 1979.> Asylum from the Netherlands!? Because that had been his country since 1976. |
|
| Jan-11-25 | | stone free or die: <Petrosianic> you could read the Swiss newspaper articles. I didnt', because they're not in English - so I mostly went with the headlines, which even at my level of French comprehension I could understand. As <Retireborn> noted, Korchnoi was playing for Switzerland in the 1978 Olympiads, before he even got asylum (or citizenship) according to his memory and my research. I believe a grant of asylum generally means the country is offering safe harbor, perhaps even permanent citizenship. Did the Netherlands grant him asylum as well? |
|
Jan-11-25
 | | beatgiant: If I understand right, Netherlands granted Korchnoi only temporary visitor status when he arrived there and did not ever offer asylum. |
|
Jan-11-25
 | | Fusilli: <stone> <I believe a grant of asylum generally means the country is offering safe harbor, perhaps even permanent citizenship.> Only the former. I doubt any country offers citizenship right away to someone granted asylum, though asylum may be the first step in a process that eventually leads to citizenship years down the road. |
|
Jan-11-25
| | moronovich: Hi <perfidious> ! I have had a couple of simular experiences as you have had with Gulko. Something sadening about it, I would say. And I nice bunch you have met over the board which I suppose bring interesting memories to you !? |
