saffuna: Just looked at Stanford's schedule. No game against USC or UCLA. I never thought that could happen. The USC game has been the focal point of all sports at Stanford for at least fifty years.

Bobby Fischer
beatgiant: <Petrosianic> I'll estimate based on a quick check of the NY Times archives. For most of Fischer's career as a top player (i.e. since late 1950s), he was mentioned around once a month in the New York Times, mostly in the chess ...

Jose Raul Capablanca
keypusher: <dehanne> what a great clip! Thank you for sharing! I guess all those years in New York rubbed off Capa’s Cuban accent.

P Michaels vs F Laigle, 1845
dernier loup de T: Comme l'indique Saint-Amant, c'est déjà l'affaiblissement majeur de la position noire par la poussée f7-f5 au 13ème coup qui compromet irrémédiablement les chances des Noirs...

K Rogoff vs Carlsen, 2012
RookFile: In hindsight I think you're right. He did play in the Biel Interzonal 1976 for example.

Magnus Carlsen
MarcusBierce: <FTB> I would not be surprised if the “technical glitches” were meant to disrupt any surreptitious computer use. Imagine an occasional use of an EMP was used during the match to ensure all systems went down, and only the ...

Hans Niemann
EvanTheTerrible: He had some good positions in the 5+1 and early 3+1, but after blowing a few of them just got rolled over the rest of the way. Probably a good learning experience. I was happy to see him more humble in the closing interview. Maybe

Eliskases vs Gruenfeld, 1933
tbontb: 15....f5 as suggested by <GrahamClayton> seems possible if risky, after something like 16.exf5 Bxe3 17.fxe3 gxf5 18.Ng5 Qf6 19.Bxg7 Qxg7 20.Rf3 Qxg5 21.Rg3 Qxg3 22.hxg3 e4 23.Be2 (engine analysis). White keeps an advantage. The ...

Shredder vs C Garcia Palermo, 2005
offramp: User: Muttley101 your précis is perfect. I'm going to have a look. When I lost to Mephisto I must have thought, "This game will create protein folding."

J G Tanti vs F Rhine, 2024
FSR: My opponent's surname is an anagram of <Titan>. At 2362, he is the highest-rated player I've beaten on ICCF. The vast majority of ICCF games between high-rated players end in draws, since they're using 3500+ rated engines, and you can't

K Supatashvili vs E Matsuura, 1995
Allderdice83: Well, I'll count this as a full success for me, even though I had 28. Rxb6 instead of 28. Qxb6. Stockfish prefers the latter, but not by that much. It's a win for White either way. 28. Rxb6 and its logical continuation potentially ...
