Sep-16-13  PaulLovric: first
Sep-16-13  Alphastar: Sometimes the pravda hurts, like when you're up two pawns but can't force a win anyway.
Sep-16-13  Llawdogg: Darn bishops of opposite colors!
Sep-16-13  Abdel Irada: <PaulLovric: first>

Or last, depending on the order in which your posts are displayed.

Sep-16-13  TheTamale: So can I assume this was a game with Prava's readers, kind of like the "So-and-so vs. The World" games they feature on this site?
Sep-16-13  Dr. Funkenstein: Knowing it was the Soviet state newspaper, I'm sure some of their readers were strong players
Sep-16-13  kevin86: Bishops of opposite colors dooms this game to be a draw. Did anybody else see that all of the white pieces are on black squares and all of the black pieces are on white squares?
Sep-16-13  kevin86: IZVESTIA:the news
PRAVDA:the truth

No news in the truth and no truth in the news.

Sep-16-13  NewLine: last?
