Aug-07-17 Sinquefield Cup (2017)    erasmusdurer: Why is the Giuoco Piano suddenly so popular in this tournament?      Mar-22-17 Larry Melvyn Evans    erasmusdurer: Happy Birthday, Larry. I enjoyed your chess columns very much. They were the first thing I always read in Chess Life. You are missed.      Dec-14-16 Kibitzer's Café    erasmusdurer: How do you guess the latest clue in the Holiday contest? I know the answer to Clue #20, but I don't know how to enter the contest.      Mar-05-12 Robert James Fischer    erasmusdurer: Fischer was definitely afraid to play another match or tournament--with anybody. Everything I have read about him indicates he developed a very strong pathological fear of failure. If you have never had this fear, you do not know how debilitating it can be.

For example, is Chess Assistant any good? Please let me know what your experience has been with such software.      Jun-08-07 Kamsky vs Gelfand, 2007    erasmusdurer: Gelfand played a very smooth opening, gaining space and putting his pieces on good squares. He emerged from the opening slightly better than Kamsky. Kamsky couldn't make anything out of the positon in the middle game, where he made several questionable moves. Gelfand was ...      May-18-07 Reshevsky vs Fine, 1941    erasmusdurer: After getting whipped last night by an 11 year old chess whiz in our club's May Swiss, I am surprised I actually found Q x d5. Maybe all is not lost after all.      May-16-07 Korchnoi vs A Petersons, 1965    erasmusdurer: Another Monday puzzle--on Wed!
