   May-14-25 Fischer vs Spassky, 1966
 
Helios727: When I had SF play out 40...Qf8 it ended up as a draw by repetition on move 95.
 
   Feb-27-25 Reshevsky vs Kotov, 1953 (replies)
 
Helios727: Did Reshevsky and Kotov really only play twice in their careers? Or were there other games that are not in this database?

Helios727: I encountered another oddity. Tarrasch 3.12a has Stockfish-8 built into it. Tarrasch 3.13b has Stockfish-11 built into it. When I have Stockfish-11 analyze positions on the Tarrasch 3.13b GUI, it has volatile shifts back and forth depending on whose move it is, even though I am ...
 
   Sep-09-24 Sousse Interzonal (1967) (replies)
 
Helios727: <Petrosianic> It says that Fischer was 8.5/10 which means he did not play 15 rounds and could not have been down by 3 points from whoever was in first place.

Helios727: So was his surname derived from French or German? It means "glue" in French and is an alternate word for "cool" in German, and the pronunciation is different in each language.
 
   Jul-13-24 Spassky vs L Weiss, 1966 (replies)
 
Helios727: The book comments: 1) After Black's 2nd move, "Apparently my opponent knows the opening. The text is still the best move." 2) After White's 9th move, "From this point I stopped trying to guess my opponent's moves and I probably behaved somewhat tactlessly - I tried to sit at the ...
 
   Mar-29-24 W Winter vs Kashdan, 1932
 
Helios727: This is odd. In his endgame book, Znosko-Borovsky says that Black wins a pawn here but at the expense of trading a bishop for the knight, leaving the players with bishops of opposite colors. Yet, Black did not win a pawn and the final position has both of the bishops on dark ...
 
   Mar-20-24 D Barbulescu vs H Wirthensohn, 1985 (replies)
 
Helios727: In this game Barbulescu improved upon Karpov's line in the famous loss Karpov suffered in the 1985 Karpov-Kasparov Match. However, Barbulescu did not prevail until the late middle-game.
 
   Dec-16-23 Kotov vs G Lambert, 1977
 
Helios727: It should have been a draw since after 42. Rc6 g3, the other rook can do a perpetual check on the black king.
 
   Oct-25-23 Champions Showdown 9LX (2023)
 
Helios727: In any event, congratulations to Sam Sevian for his win and great performance.
