Member since Feb-23-04 · Last seen Jun-20-25
My favorite player is Tal, although I also like Alekhine and early Karpov. Long ago, Tarrash was my favorite. My "current" rating is 1800, although if I were active I don't think I could maintain that. I've been a couple of hundred points higher, but that too was a long time ago.

   May-17-25 M L Hanauer vs F Reinfeld, 1928
 
Bishoprick: Hanauer, in 1963, was my first boss. For several years we shared lunch hours and informal games of chess, which he won with singular regularity. Those were the days!

   Feb-10-25 Freestyle Grand Tour Weissenhaus (2025) (replies)
 
Bishoprick: The question of players keeping score sheets now-a-days is of special interest to me. At 89, I now play terrible chess, and there's nothing I can do about that. A long tine ago I had an over 2,000 rating. Now I have trouble beating 1700 rated players, and at rapids 1,400 rated ...

Bishoprick: Excuse me, but I see nothing so dramatic after ...Q-f8. It is still a probable win for White, but no drama.
 
   Dec-10-24 Ding - Gukesh World Championship Match (2024) (replies)
 
Bishoprick: Petrosianic, you really can't compare a chess championship to a team sport in which luck plays a much larger role than in chess, although chess players in New York used to say that somehow the better player was always luckier. However, it was World Champion over many years ...
 
   Dec-06-24 D Gukesh vs Ding Liren, 2024 (replies)
 
Bishoprick: Does it really matter who wins this championship? The best that could be said for the champion is that he is first among equals, as Botvinik said of himself.
 
   Dec-04-24 Lincoln White (replies)
 
Bishoprick: Indigo Violet, you should read some history, particularly what happened after Lincoln was assassinated and Andrew Johnson took over.
 
   Dec-03-24 Rossolimo vs P Reissmann, 1967 (replies)
 
Bishoprick: Yes, Bernard knew me as Raskolnikoff. The first time he showed up at the Manhattan Chess Club (then located on W. 65th Street)he was still a teenager. I won ten straight of the same variation of the Spanish. The following week, when he showed up again, I only won 6 out or 10. The
 
   Nov-22-24 M Lange vs V Hruby, 1883
 
Bishoprick: Greetings , Honza Cervenka! I used to have a rating much like yours, but now I'm old, and you know what that means in chess... I''m American, but I have family near Blatna which I often visit during the summer.
