May-22-25 Fischer vs Tal, 1961    Petrosianic: <Sally Simpson: Best pun on the site and it was submitted by Tal in 1961.> It's definitely a joke, but if it's also a pun, I've honestly never gotten it.      May-21-25 Dommaraju Gukesh    Petrosianic: <stone free or die>: <In general I've been disappointed with my interactions with <AI>. I would prefer to distill the info from the web myself from the various sources, allowing me to filter and weigh accordingly.> Yeah, with difficult questions that's a good ...      May-21-25 Buenos Aires (Clarin) (1979)    Petrosianic: This was definitely the Linares 1994 of Larsen's career. He was even about the same age Karpov was.      May-20-25 Smyslov vs Fischer, 1970    Petrosianic: Mednis' comments on Fischer and the Najdorf: <Fifty years of analysis and play have shown the objective soundness of the Gruenfeld.
