Sep-09-23 Peter Leko   0ZeR0: Happy 44th birthday to the venerable GM Leko.      Aug-11-23 Aleksandar Matanovic    0ZeR0: Rest in peace, GM Aleksandar Matanovic... creator of the Informant and ECO as well as a fine player in his own right.      Jul-22-23 FIDE Women's World Championship (2023)    0ZeR0: Congratulations to Ju Wenjun! It was a fantastic match all-around as noted by <metatron2>, and hard-fought. I definitely recommend checking out the games for anyone that hasn't been following.      Jul-07-23 A Planinc vs S Puc, 1969   0ZeR0: An attack need not be sound to work.      Jun-10-23 Euwe vs B van Trotsenburg, 1919   0ZeR0: Neither had I. Anyone who can defeat a world champion (simultaneous or not) certainly gets my kudos and respect.      Jun-10-23 11th Norway Chess (2023)    0ZeR0: <Atterdag: <boz: I learned a lot from Tarrasch in my early years.> So did I - and probably many generations of rookies in chess.> So did I, from both his writings and games which is a big reason why I consider him to be one of the most important individuals in my personal ...      May-24-23 chessgames.com chessforum    0ZeR0: <petemcd85: <0ZeR0: Any chance we could get the remaining games uploaded for American Cup (Women) (2023) ?> All games should be up> Thank you! I appreciate it.      May-23-23 Magnus Carlsen    0ZeR0: <stone free or die> Well done post showing the various ways we might compare players. Interesting website and graph as well. I am somewhat surprised that Lasker doesn't quite reach the heights of the aforementioned three players according to it.      May-14-23 Andras Adorjan    0ZeR0: Rest in peace, GM Andras Adorjan... a very fine player and writer.      Apr-30-23 Ding Liren    0ZeR0: Congratulations to GM Ding Liren on becoming the undisputed 17th world chess champion! You earned it.
