Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-08-24  Retireborn: Speelman sets a couple of clever traps (50...Rxd2 51.Rxb4+ and 59...Rxd4 60.f7 Re4+ 61.Kf6), but is unable to make a real impression on the solid Argentine GM.

One imagines that England v Argentina team matches were tense affairs in those days.

I had supposed that this variation with 4...Nd4 had died a quiet death somewhere back in the 80s, so I was surprised to learn that it's still popular and has even been played by Caruana.

In the somewhat unlikely event of me playing against Caruana, I shall cross him up with 4.e3! (laughs)

Jun-08-24  Murky: Game score error. Blacks 21st move is not Bc5, but rather Be5. Anybody know how to send in corrections to the management here? Please detail.

That was always my favourite; believe one of my games in the line is in this DB.
