Dec-19-19 M M Wind vs G Timmerman, 1981    monopole2313: If it were OTB I'd guess that the mighty wind came from a burrito he ate that morning. I might've resigned, too.      Aug-06-19 Viktorija Cmilyte   monopole2313: Happy Birthday! The whole world cmiles at you.      Aug-06-19 James T Sherwin    monopole2313: Winning tournaments at age 86. That's amazing.      Jul-30-19 Bologan vs Bacrot, 2001    monopole2313: Went for the windmill with 30....Nb4+. Like Don Quixote, I find them irresistible.      Jun-08-19 M Sana vs C Blocker, 2014    monopole2313: Exercise in futility. Calvin played the Caro Kann 40 years ago. I remember his time scrambles even then. He once told me that he went from 2200 to 2300 after studying Morphy.      May-15-19 Russian Chess Circle    monopole2313: I've heard of Russian math circles (which are after-school programs for children) but not Russian chess circles. Are they specialized chess clubs?      Mar-08-19 Bruce Allen    monopole2313: Forty-five years isn't far-fetched. I could have played Bent Larsen in 1974 and, say, Timur Gareev today (even though I would have lost both games). Several players here have played longer than I have.      Feb-11-19 D M Martinez vs D G Baird, 1889   monopole2313: I guess White is the originator of the Martinez variation of the Ruy Lopez (C78).      Aug-18-18 Daniel Freeman    monopole2313: Sargon appears in the Bible, in Isaiah 20:1. https://www.biblegateway.com/resour...      Oct-19-13 Milan Matulovic    monopole2313: Memory eternal.
