 | | Phony Benoni: So that's why FIDE refused Botvinnik a rematch. |
|
| Jul-10-14 | | rapidcitychess: Bottvinik plays from beyond the grave. (Yes, I know it's not the same one.) |
|
| Jul-11-14 | | ughaibu: Then again, Petrosian plays from beyond the grave too! |

 | | Fusilli: And this was in the Under-16 Olympiads, confirming, as I suspected, that your age clock resets to zero when you die. |

| | Phony Benoni: That was before the Fischer Clock. Now, you get 5-second increments for all eternity. |

| Dec-11-14 | | NBAFan: "Botvinnik vs Petrosian 1998, is that possible?"
"What?????? Are you out of your mind????? They were both dead long before then!" |
|
| Dec-11-14 | | hoodrobin: Your age clock resets to zero <and> you get 5-second increments when you lose on time (as per last LIFE rules). |

 | | alexmagnus: Ah, the famous "game of full namesakes".
<And this was in the Under-16 Olympiads, confirming, as I suspected, that your age clock resets to zero when you die.> In case of Petrosian it actually kind of fits. This Petrosian was born 35 days after the world champion died. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Black fell behind early but came back thanks to some defensive tactics. Impressive example of a comeback; his namesake would have approved. Born 35 days after the WC died? Would not surprise me at all if he had chess loving parents. |

| Apr-24-25 | | goodevans: As a peculiar quirk of fate, this is a great find brought to our grateful attention by an excellent pun. The game is itself pretty good too. I don’t think the N jumping into that hole on d6 was in itself bad (it’s the sort I’d have been sorely tempted to do myself), I just think White chose the wrong moment to do it. A really fabulous GOTD all round. |

 | | Honza Cervenka: 18.a4 was a move, which could avoid tactical complications and keep white's advantage. |

 | | Teyss: Pun ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 5
Game ⭐⭐⭐½⭐ / 5
Indeed White was so tempted by this appealing d6 square he forgot about safety on the Qside. |
|
| Apr-24-25 | | VerySeriousExpert: Yes, new Botvinnik vs new Petrosian...
