Jul-06-22 Tarrasch vs Schlechter, 1902    ChessHigherCat: No need for complex analysis: Siegbert siegt weil Carl spielt schlechter.      Jul-06-22 D Kryakvin vs Evgeni Kuligin, 2008    ChessHigherCat: No I screwed that up completely, my DSB returned from the grave.      Jul-05-22 FIDE Candidates (2022)    ChessHigherCat: Quoth the ravin': NEVERMORE, although you never know...      Jul-05-22 Lasker vs E N Olly, 1892    ChessHigherCat: <Offramp> Don't forget the pyrotechnic playoff between siblings H.Olly-M.Olly      Jul-05-22 Khmelnitsky vs Alburt, 1996    ChessHigherCat: Clever, clever.
