Mar-12-04 Humphrey Bogart 
| |
| chess 2003: I played a postal game against an old fellow who said that while he was stationed in California in the Air force he had played Bogart many times. He said Bogart was neither friendly nor talkative, but that he was always ready to play. I told him I'd heard that Bogey was expert ... |

| |
| chess 2003: Trust me, Mr. Lau, brain evolution does not occur in mere centuries. Evolution at the level you are speaking of does not occur in anywhere those time frames. You are just trying to be clever. Are you a scientist? Neurologist? Goodness, I hope not. I would suggest that you ... |

Jan-25-04 Taimanov vs Fischer, 1971
| |
| chess 2003: Drunkennight, you are the most outspoken patzer I've ever heard, no offense intended, thank you. Your rating? 1200? 1300? And you carry on about master players as though you actually have the credentials to do so. You proliferate more pure BS about Fischer's victories than anyone |

| |
| chess 2003: This DB shows Korchnoi +6 lifetime against Tal. This does not surprise me as Tal did not always play as soundly as he did spectacularly. It appears Korchnoi was not always dazzled by the wizard's fireworks! |

Sep-24-03 Petrosian vs Fischer, 1971
| |
| chess 2003: I agree that Fischer was not a long term prospect. The seeds of his psychiatric problems were showing up by the time he reached his peak and precluded any longevity. Someone said that he was better than Petrosian throughout their careers. I believe that's probably true on a ... |
