| Parbrahman: Galileo retracted what he said before (that the earth revolves around the sun, etc.) when he appeared before the Inquisition for the 4th and last time in May 1633. He was forced to abjure the Copernican system, his book Il Saggiatore (Dialogue) was banned, and he was from then on |

Jan-17-13 Tata Steel Group A (2013)
| |
| Parbrahman: If that's true mrbasso why don't you start firing up your chess engines now and join Tata steel next time? You seem to be belittling the recent brilliancy of our dear Vishy. |

Jan-15-13 Larry Evans
| |
| Parbrahman: Buenos Aires 1960. To finish ahead of Fischer, Larry Evans introduced him to a beautiful prostitute. It worked. Fischer couldn't concentrate and finished 13th in a field of 20. Evans shared 4th to 7th place. |

| |
| Parbrahman: Lilienthal said this is his favorite game. He liked it even better than his short win against Capablanca in 1936. |

Jan-11-13 Francisco Lupi
| |
| Parbrahman: Portuguese champion. In a tournament in Caceres, Spain in December 1945 he beat then reigning world champion Alekhine twice. The first of these two games cannot be found. The only game that a reigning world champ had lost which cannot be found anywhere. |

Jan-11-13 Magnus Carlsen
| |
| Parbrahman: I predict that Anand will finally show his true form in this latest Tata Steel tournament. |

Dec-10-12 Viswanathan Anand
| |
| Parbrahman: Anand already has an old brain in an old body. Even great players succumb to Father Time. They inevitably shed elo points in their inexorable march towards senility and death. Happy birthday anyway. |
