Jun-28-20 Portisch vs Petrosian, 1967    EdZelli: Facts and opinions are two very different things: Below are some of Petrosian's records. Facts: 1963 Won World Championship 1966 Successfully defended his title. * Didn't put his tail between his legs and run-off. Beating Boris at his peak must have grueling. The match is still ...      Jun-07-20 Korchnoi - Petrosian Candidates Quarterfinal (1977)    EdZelli: tonsillolith Wrote: Petrosian was washed up at this point, so it's not a big surprise Korchnoi beat him. ----------- You're clueless. 1972 San Antonio shared 1st 1973 Amestedam shared 1st 1975 Soviet Champion 1st place 1979 Rio Interzonal shared 1st 1979 Keres Memorial ...      Jul-08-18 Curacao Candidates (1962)    EdZelli: Bobby's Rambling Nonsense was a ploy to shift the blame for his 7 LOSSES. Bobby was the punching bag in Curacao. He got crushed by Tigran, Benko, Geller ... and still cried foul. Eight years later in 1970 Bobby CHEATED his way to the candidates tournament (ie. never qualified, Benko      Aug-11-17 Tigran Petrosian    EdZelli: "During tournament analysis sessions players all speak at once, but whenever Petrosian said anything, everyone would shut up and listen." – Yasser Seirawan This is perhaps from Seirawan's observation at Lone Pine in 1970's. https://en.chessbase.com/post/iron-...      Aug-07-17 Ivanchuk vs Short, 1995    EdZelli: offramp:Poor Nigel Short. I think every phrase, proverb, adage,... Nigel got the "Short" end of the stick here ;-)      Mar-25-17 Karpov - Fischer World Championship Match (1975)    EdZelli: Bobby would always moan and groan for more money. Ironically, when the big payday arrived in 1975, he put his tail between his legs and ran off scared out of his pants. There is only one reason for why he fled, Bobby had always tracked Karpov's games (* even a decade later when ...      Jan-27-17 Second Piatigorsky Cup (1966)    EdZelli: <offramp>: Tigran got his revenge later in 1966 Havana Olympiad by winning the first place gold medal at table 1 with Larsen, Bobby, Portisch, etc present. Tigran repeated his success again in 1968 Olympiad with same players (Larsen, Bobby, ..) present.      Nov-16-16 Carlsen - Karjakin World Championship Match (2016)    EdZelli: Obviously Karjakin can defend like the legendary Tigran. Now he needs to reach into his bag of tricks and pull out some exchange sacrifices, king walks, ... to send Carlsen packing.      Jul-04-16 Phillips & Drew Kings (1982)    EdZelli: Tabanus:"What has Fischer to do with it anyway?" Don't you know? Bobby's grandma used the bathroom at Phillips & Drew's building 50 years earlier ;-) On a serious note, it is customary in CG.com to sneak Bobby's name in all 70's and 80's tournament intro(s) irregardless. It ...      Jun-12-16 USSR Championship (1965)    EdZelli: Another inaccurate/half-baked and incomplete intro. 'Twenty of the Soviet Union's best masters and grandmasters competed' How about Thee Very Best (ie. World Champ in 1965). Why isn't his name mentioned?      Jun-10-16 Viktor Korchnoi     Dec-15-15 Petrosian - Spassky World Championship Match (1969)     Oct-09-14 Aryan Tari     Oct-04-14 Viswanathan Anand     Sep-25-14 Bilbao Masters (2014)     Sep-23-14 Keres vs Geller, 1962     Jul-10-14 Levon Aronian     Jun-29-14 Spassky vs Petrosian, 1969     Apr-23-14 Petrosian vs Spassky, 1966     Apr-11-14 Timman vs Petrosian, 1982     Mar-01-14 European Championship (2014)     Jan-30-14 Boris Spassky     Jan-13-14 San Antonio (1972)     Nov-21-13 Anand - Carlsen World Championship Match (2013)     Oct-15-13 Rafael Vaganian     Sep-22-13 Kenneth Smith     Sep-15-13 Sinquefield Cup (2013)     Sep-13-13 Fischer vs Spassky, 1972     Aug-10-13 K Georgiev vs Miles, 1992     Aug-02-13 Montreal (1979)     May-16-13 Norway Chess (2013)     Mar-27-13 Petrosian vs Petrovsky, 1946     Mar-12-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)     Mar-09-13 Bobby Fischer     Mar-02-13 Kasparov - Karpov World Championship Match (1987)     Jan-22-13 Tata Steel Group A (2013)     Jan-01-13 Tal vs H Hecht, 1962     Dec-21-12 Petrosian - Spassky World Championship Match (1966)     Dec-18-12 Fischer vs Geller, 1967     Nov-14-12 Spassky vs Petrosian, 1966     Nov-12-12 Carlos Guimard     Aug-23-12 Robert Huebner     Aug-14-12 Svetozar Gligoric     Jul-27-12 Petrosian vs Dorfman, 1975    Apr-01-12 Huebner vs Petrosian, 1976     Oct-10-11 Raymond Keene     Sep-18-11 Petrosian vs Stein, 1961     Apr-12-10 Garry Kasparov
