Apr-23-25 Hort vs Portisch, 1975 
| |
| ozmikey: <Fusilli> Kavalek points out in the tournament book that after 42. Kc2 Rc8+ 43. Kb2 (otherwise 43...Rc3(+) is very strong) Rg8! 44. Re2 (only move) b5! (taking c4 away from the knight) White is running out of moves. He suggests that Hort made the right decision in "defending" ... |

Jan-15-23 D Gukesh vs Ding Liren, 2023

Nov-11-17 T Hay vs P Viner, 1963
| |
| ozmikey: <thegoodanarchist> <Sydney Cepacol? I thought Cepacol was cough medicine!> Cepacol sponsored a lot of tournaments in Australia in the late eighties/early nineties, but I think the reference here is an anachronism (unless their record in supporting tournaments goes ... |
