Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-28-03  bishop: The player of the day plays a little joke with his 2nd move, but his seventh is not funny.
Nov-13-05  notyetagm: This has got to be the absolute worst game I have ever seen a GM play. Even us lowly USCF class players would never in a million years play 7 ♘xe5?? with our king and queen lined up on the e-file and our opponent already castled. What was Vescovi thinking?
May-16-07  Knight13: <What was Vescovi thinking?> "I think Nxe5 is playable. I can defend it with c3 and d4."

<After 8...Bxf2+> "What the... Crap I didn't see that."

Dec-07-22  generror: <2.Bf5>

Ahhh, the good old Italian school of chess :D Doesn't work against Sokolov though

Dec-07-22  generror: The weird thing is that guy can actually play. He beat Karpov and Gelfand... I thought it was just a hapless amateur,,,
