May-05-21		Dionysius1: Since we can check StockFish for ourselves, wouldn't it be more fun if you could just summarise, or point out the most exciting points, in words rather than the characters you copy for us?

May-05-21		Dionysius1: I can't help pointing out a funny coincidence here. You know the "thought for the day"/aphorism or whatever it is that cg.com provide? Well the one that was displaying while I was commenting above was "Long analysis: wrong analysis"!

May-05-21		perfidious: That particular epigram would be a propos indeed if one were to click on one of Larsen's games as it appeared.

May-08-21		John Saunders: It seems abundantly clear that there has been an input error as 34 Kf1 is nonsense. My suggestion is that White actually played 34 Re3. After that, the remaining moves look sensible.

May-08-21		John Saunders: I’ve been informed by someone who has a copy of the tournament bulletin that 34 Re3 was indeed the move played, so the score of this game needs to be amended.
