 | | alexmagnus: <This story is too good to be true, but also too good not to repost here:
<May-14-04 Lawrence: Speaking of Ratmir Kholmov's tendency to "get altogether drunk" with greatly reduced chess powers, Suba talks about "a long list of stories and jokes arising from his habit," relating one passed on to him by Karpov: "The game starts 1.e4 Nc6 2.f4 b6 3.Nf3 e5 4.fxe5. At this point Ratmir plunges into deep thought, while whispering 'I've played the Grunfeld all my life and never got into such a bad position!'" from www.jeremysilman.com > >
Actually the game went on (4...Nxe5 5.Nxe5 6.Kxe5!!!!) and after the referee came and said that Kxe5 was an illegal move, Kholmov said "I've played the Grunfeld all my life and never knew it gets refuted so easily". |

| Feb-25-10 | | Cibator: Regarding earlier posts about drunkenness at and around the chessboard: it's odd that so few of those stories seem to involve UK players, considering the binge-drinking and lager-lout culture that seems totally entrenched there now. |

| Apr-27-10 | | parisattack: Westerinen did a small book/monograph on the Nimzovitch (1. e4, Nc6)...I think in the 1970s. Does anyone know of this book, have it, know where I might get a copy? |
|
| Apr-27-10 | | Gejewe: <parisattack>
I am sorry to disappoint you, but there is no such book. Westerinen wrote a book that was titled "Nc6" but it was on a Kings Indian line, not the Nimzovich as you would assume from seeing the title. |

Thank you much for the clarifaction! I guess I can stop looking now. I had wondered, 'Why would Westerinen write a book on the Nimzovitch?" I know there are many books now on 1. ...Nc6 as a repertoire, but not too many on the Nimzovitch, per se... Harding, Deppe, Myers, Kapitaniak, Keilnack/Schlenker,Berdichevsky is all I can see on my shelf. |

 | | FSR: Since Westerinen is POTD, it would have been a nice touch for CG.com to make Vukcevich vs H Westerinen, 1976 <Heikki's Suburbia Bus Tour Ride> the GOTD. The allusion is to (Sixto) Rodriguez' song of that name. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP9... (video); http://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/r... (lyrics). |

"70-vuotisjuhlaturnaus" is exactly that. |
