Jan-28-20 Duchamp vs V Kahn, 1924    gpbear: <keypusher> <In 1924 the first time control was typically at move 30, not move 40.> https://www.olimpbase.org/1924x/192... Time control: 40 moves in 2 hours, then each next 20 moves in 1 hour. "Probably" not definitely :P      Oct-17-19 R Nezhmetdinov vs Tal, 1961    gpbear: To do this against Tal is astounding.      Oct-11-19 Paul Morphy    gpbear: Just paying my respects to the greatest of all time!      Jun-20-19 Tal vs Weldrou, 1949    gpbear: That Tal guy was pretty good      Jun-16-19 Gothenburg (1920)    gpbear: This is an interesting tournament.
