Flemming: Does it ever happen you when it finally comes your turn in an fast food eatery to say which extra you want to be added - that just then a guy from door-to-door boutique comes and ask to exchange a bill into smaller ones? And the guy/girl serving you becaomes completely oblivious of |

|
Flemming: And Brady made revenge in this book, revised and edition of previous biography, written while Fischer was still alive. |

Aug-11-24 V Raicevic vs J Campos Moreno, 1984
|
Flemming: 17. Nxd5 only looked like winning a pawn. |

Aug-11-24 V Raicevic vs J Adamski, 1984
|
Flemming: 19. Be1?? (better was 19. Ne1) a5? 20. Ng5 h6?? (20. ...Ncb4) |

Aug-11-24 V Zivkovic vs V Raicevic, 1984
|
Flemming: In this tragedy of errors, I extract 2 moments 59. Kf2?? (probably in zeitnot) while 59. Rxd5+ would give white chance for win, and 63. cb4?? while 63. c4 would be enough for a draw. |

Flemming: Ivkov wrote several chess books of memoirs type in his last years. There he finally expressed hitherto silenced rivalry and mild disagreements with Gligorić. Ivkov was a tragic figure of this tournament, since he was leading for the most part and lost two games in last rounds, ... |

Jul-11-24 D Marovic vs L Masic, 1963
|
Flemming: Marovic commented this game in Croatian (or it was still Yugoslavian then) and wrote: "Waiting for some miracle, probably for the ceiling to fall down, black played all the way through till checkmate", refusing to print last 30-and-something moves. |

Jul-09-24 Botvinnik vs Furman, 1961
|
Flemming: 10. bxc6?! is surprisingly unpositional by Botvinnik. Timman analyzed the game in his pretty sloppy assembled book Botvinnik's Secret Games (Censored). Botvinnik in his training games played almost like O'Kelly, relaxed and reminded on Carsen in his crazy 3 minutes' blitz "titled" ... |

May-18-24 Ljubojevic vs J Diez del Corral, 1975
|
Flemming: As much as Ljubijević's ide looked too strenuous, he was winning until 23. Rg1? and 24. Ra2? Those two wrong rook moves were probably made in time trouble. 1975 was one of Ljubojević's least successful years. 23. Qd1!! was solution. And 24. Be3 would've kept equalish position. In |
