Mar-09-06  Im an alien: Interesting, very interesting. These humans were quite creative in this mental battle. The moral is:never give up until the obvious failure cannot be transformed anymore.Peace 2 u all.
Jan-18-15  Compound Error: So that's why a ufo was spotted just of the coast of Southsea in 1949!
Feb-28-22  Nosnibor: Rossolimo was somewhat fortunate to win this game. After 25.Kf4 Wallis had a forced draw by perpetual check should the King retreat to f3 after checking again with the Knight and should White play 26.Kg5?? then 26..Rh5+ 27.Qxh5 Qxh5 mate. I suspect that Wallis thought he had a win in the line he played and recall discussing this game with him in 1959.
