Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-31-05  weary willy: Chessmaster.com - thanks again for a brilliant site. When you have nothing else to do :-) you may want to tidy up the references to the 1953 candidates tournament. Just looking at this selection from Kotov's game, you can see a whole range of different references to the same tournament. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...

(I don't suppose you have ever thought of Wiki-ing the site ... or letting trusted (?) volunteers do some of this work?)
