| TheRavenPK: Beautiful game, white was going for the win obviously from the very first moves and the win was really well-deserved. How easy it looks when good players do it. |

Apr-23-12 A Spiller vs J Acers, 1968
| |
| TheRavenPK: This is funny, just yesterday on GOTD Van Wely vs Acs, 2002 I suggested the pun "Acs is high". Today we have Acers is high, with the same reference to one of Maiden's classic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Sam... |

| |
| TheRavenPK: What a fantastic game. Réti combines probably all principles I know (I think I know) about chess. I play king's gambit exclusively as a response to 1.e4 e5, but lately I struggle to get something from it. I have to study Réti's games more. |

| |
| TheRavenPK: After 4 days lasting party I woke up, traveled 250 km home and load chessgames.com to look for a Sunday puzzle I have solved once before. I saw that link to the game was purple, not its usual blue. I was like "Fischer, hm, and I have seen this before, I have to find it". Twenty ... |

| TheRavenPK: how is this played? two players, two boards, two clocks?
when it's the same player to move on both boards, he loses time on both clocks?
does this tournament count in ELO?
I like these attempts to make chess more interesting. good move FIDE. |
