May-31-06  Autoreparaturwerkbau: 34...e3!! So puzzleable. Great final game of Great Rossolimo.
Oct-03-18  Bklynbobbyf: I am pretty sure Rossolimo's opponent was Steve Barry not Colm Barry. I remember when Robert Byrne published the game in the New York Times. Steve Barry was a good friend of mine and was in New York at that time.

  perfidious: This game was most likely played during the final performance of Le Grand MaĆ®tre's career, the 3rd World Open.
Oct-03-18  Parachessus: I played a very short game against Rossolimo at his chess studio in NYC as part of a chess lesson my father paid for. Later his wife asked me if I could understand him and I lied and said I did. He had some kind of accent I am not sure how to describe.
