Mar-21-14 Keith Arkell 
| |
| Doctor Aust: Yep, great result for Keith A winning the European 50+ Individual Championship in Portugal, ahead of the higher-rated Georgian GM Zurab Sturua. Arkell himself has said the games weren't that special (and mostly long) but his winning a probably drawn ending in round 8 in ... |

Oct-10-13 H Lamb vs N Miezis, 2001
| |
| Doctor Aust: Before we 'diss' white too much one should note he is a 2100-rated amateur player, nearly 60 at the time of the game, playing against a 30 yr-old GM. |

Jul-04-12 Klaus Darga
| |
| Doctor Aust: In his comments in 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' on the famous game Bronstein-Darga (1964) [pieces vs pawns] Bronstein vs K Darga, 1964
- David Bronstein notes that he and Darga were both '2nd reserves' for the 1970 World v USSR Match of the Century, but that neither of then got |

Mar-31-12 Chiburdanidze vs Short, 1983
| |
| Doctor Aust: At the time this game was played Short was 17 (or maybe 18 by the odd month) and an IM. Maia C was 23, also an IM and already womens' world champion for several years. So they might have been not too far apart in playing strength (though probably with the edge to Maia, I ... |

Oct-30-11 Timman vs Adams, 1995
| |
| Doctor Aust: I would say Adams was comprehensively 'out-booked' here, since the whole game up to Black's 19th move (by which time he is dead lost) follows a game between Zoltan Ribli and the Dutch IM Coenraad Zuidema from Wijk aan Zee 1973: Ribli vs C Zuidema, 1973
Timman and Zuidema had ... |

Oct-29-11 Short vs P Fenton, 1975
| |
| Doctor Aust: I played in this tournament, which was in late July 1975, as a not-quite-14-yr old. Anyway, given the date, jtd200 is correct about Nigel Short's age, as this game would have been played just after his 10th Birthday. Other younger British players who later became well-known ... |
