May-02-22 Tal vs B Dudley, 1964 
|
Immortal Gambit: You may have to be from a certain generation to catch the pun. "Dudley Demented" is the title to the opening chapter of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. |

Mar-22-22 Capablanca - Kostic (1919) 
|
Immortal Gambit: I understand it's from 1919, but the number of unnecessary appositives, appositives to an appositive, and subordinate clauses is simply poor writing, regardless of the idiom of the day. |

Mar-15-22 W Martz vs Miles, 1976 
|
Immortal Gambit: Excellent game and pun. I at first though it was about "the ideas of Marx", which would have been an appropriate adjuration to many of this generation, but then I considered today's date. |
