Dec-22-19 Santa Claus    carpetshark: Dear Santa, I wish you all at Chessgames.com and all chess fans a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Hope to meet you next year too at this page.      Aug-27-19 Pal Benko    carpetshark: Sit tibi terra levis, maestro! RIP, condolences from Hungary!      Feb-24-19 Stellan Brynell   carpetshark: Brynell, spelt with 'y'.Strange that in fastener engineering there should be a scale of material hardness called Brinell scale, spelt with 'i', well, he must be a tough player...      Aug-18-18 Laszlo Binet Tapaszto   carpetshark: He fled from Hungary like many others after the 1956 revolution was crushed by the Soviet forces. According to the memoirs of GM István Bilek, he worked for a while as a teacher in Caracas.      Jul-30-18 Daniel Freeman    carpetshark: I'm shocked to hear this saddest of news. My condolences. Sit tibi terra levis.      Jul-20-18 W Winter vs Menchik, 1930    carpetshark: What if 32.Rxf5 instead of 32.Qg8+? Isn't that faster?      Nov-28-17 S Bhawoodien vs E Takawira, 2003   carpetshark: Instead of 19. ...,Rf8 perhaps eXf2 (threatening 20. ...,f3+) would have been worth a try, (at least more in the spirit of the game), but our silicon friend might not share my opinon.      May-05-17 Andre Lilienthal    carpetshark: I have his autobiography in Hungarian and it would be worth translating as it's full of interesting anecdotes and stories and analyses. I just never had the time. Perhaps some time in the future.      Nov-30-16 Carlsen vs Karjakin, 2016    carpetshark: Thank you, Chessgames for providing us with this excellent opportunity!      Mar-03-15 Karpov vs Mephisto, 1983    carpetshark: Instead of 20.Bd4... Alexander Khalifman's book recommends 20.g4 right away and after 20...Qa5 21.b4, Bxb4 the amazing move 22.Bb6! does the trick and Black loses.      Oct-31-13 Gelfand vs Kharlov, 1999     May-03-10 Blackburne / Pillsbury vs Schiffers / Steinitz, 1896    Jun-25-09 Fischer vs U Geller, 1968     Jun-10-09 K Honfi vs O Kallinger, 1960    Jun-07-09 E Schallopp vs J Minckwitz, 1881    Jun-07-09 Kholmov vs V Shiyanovsky, 1961    May-11-09 Bill Wall     May-07-09 Petrosian vs Tal, 1962     May-06-09 M Spaeti vs J Soltermann, 2005    Sep-30-08 Smyslov vs Euwe, 1948
