Sep-29-23 Keres vs L Barden, 1957   Sally Simpson: Leonard in the article 'The Englishman' mentions (good morning to you sir.) "In December 1957 the Hastings pairings were decided two weeks before the tournament, and I found that I was due to face my chess hero in the very first round. Many hours of preparation went into the ...      Sep-29-23 F Rhine vs D Sprenkle, 1981    Sally Simpson: Hi FSR good game. A while back I picked up 2nd hand ' The Greatest Ever Chess Opening Ideas' by Christoph Scheerer (Everyman 2008). I just went though it hoping to add to your list of citations. The book concentrates on this game I A Kopylov vs S Korolev, 1981 and the move ...      Sep-28-23 Carlsen vs Nakamura, 2023    Sally Simpson: Hi offramp, The result here is a draw though there is a White mate in the final position.

(The Hibs centre forward is in the same place, he has been posted missing since the start of the season.)      Sep-25-23 Max Euwe    Sally Simpson: You cannot plunge into a screen Perfidious, you will bounce right back out again.
