 | | SteinitzLives: Reshevsky had a minus score against every world champion from Alekhine to Fischer (he only played Karpov once, with a 12 move draw). |

Dec-29-11 | | King Death: < RookFile: Wow, thanks for bringing up something from nearly 7 years ago, but try to focus...> Is "try to focus" one of your standard lines? Try to focus on this. You act like an idiot. You run out the same old shtick. |

Jan-06-12 | | aliejin: "Not a doubt in the world that Lasker ranks higher than Alekhine in the list of great players." In the list of great players there is no ranking
A great player is immeasurable, even those who were not
world champions, Rubinstein, Keres, tarrasch etc |

 | | HeMateMe: This wonderful combination is in many tactical books, including lev alburt's "300 essential positions". 1) Stick your opponent's King behind a wedge pawn on the 6th rank. 2) All sorts of back rank tactical motifs appear. |

Feb-21-13 | | jerseybob: Capanegra: You're saying there's a picture of Alekhine-Reshevsky in progress? I don't see it on this link, or do I have to click something else once onto page one? |

 | | perfidious: Wonder whether there are any other pictures extant featuring Alekhine from Kemeri besides the link above and the following: http://www.chess.lt/lithuania/lit/h.... |

Feb-22-13 | | jerseybob: Phony: Thanks for that pic. This is one of the first master games I ever encountered, in an old Reinfield book, and it seemed like magic. Bet it did to Sammy too. |
|
Feb-23-13 | | RookFile: <A great player is immeasurable, even those who were not world champions, Rubinstein, Keres, tarrasch etc > Well, I'll measure them anyway. Lasker was champ longer and had a plus score against Alekhine. Next. |
|
Feb-23-13 | | jerseybob: SteinitzLives: I don't know why you arbitrarily started with Alekhine to show how badly Reshevsky did against World Champs. Against the WC right before Alekhine, Capablanca, Sammy had an even score. We already know of his plus score against Lasker. Against Euwe, he had a plus score, and he drew the one and only tournament game he played with Tal(Amsterdam '64) Otherwise, your sweeping generalization is true. |

 | | perfidious: Reshevsky's score of 2/5 vs Alekhine, moreover, includes a win for the champion in 1932, when Reshevsky was not yet a title contender. Might be that <SteinitzLives> is a closet Geller fan-y'know, the man who had plus scores against every world champion in history, including those titleholders he never faced! Would be a pity if Reshevsky were to rain on Geller's parade. One thing sure: <Steinitz> does right well with sweeping generalisations, as it is much easier lumping everyone into nice, neat categories than to think for oneself. |

May-19-16 | | goodevans: What on earth made Reshevsky think that opening the a-file was a good idea? |

 | | offramp: A good pun for today. Based on Alakazam (spelling?). |
|
May-19-16 | | JimNorCal: Thanks. Had no idea what to make of the "pun" |
|
May-19-16 | | morfishine: The Miriam Webster dictionary has this for the origin of "alakazam": a nonsense word (of obscure origin) First Known Use: 1937 Which pretty much sums up this play-on-name title

 | | offramp: <morfishine: ...Which pretty much sums up this play-on-name title > My reply was also a pun. The word is used to put spells on people. |
