| Jul-23-13 | | notyetagm: Alekhine vs Reshevsky, 1937 Game Collection: ALWAYS BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR WAYS TO CREATE PINS |
|
Jun-28-14
 | | perfidious: Reshevsky's score of 2/5 vs Alekhine, moreover, includes a win for the champion in 1932, when Reshevsky was not yet a title contender. Might be that <SteinitzLives> is a closet Geller fan-y'know, the man who had plus scores against every world champion in history, including those titleholders he never faced! Would be a pity if Reshevsky were to rain on Geller's parade. One thing sure: <Steinitz> does right well with sweeping generalisations, as it is much easier lumping everyone into nice, neat categories than to think for oneself. |

| May-19-16 | | goodevans: What on earth made Reshevsky think that opening the a-file was a good idea? |

 | | offramp: A good pun for today. Based on Alakazam (spelling?). |
|
| May-19-16 | | JimNorCal: Thanks. Had no idea what to make of the "pun" |
|
| May-19-16 | | morfishine: The Miriam Webster dictionary has this for the origin of "alakazam": a nonsense word (of obscure origin) First Known Use: 1937 Which pretty much sums up this play-on-name title

| | offramp: <morfishine: ...Which pretty much sums up this play-on-name title > My reply was also a pun. The word is used to put spells on people. |
|
| May-19-16 | | thegoodanarchist: Alakazam may stand for:
-an incantation or magic word along the lines of Abrakadabra
-Alakazam the Great, a Japanese 1960 anime film
-the final evolutionary form of the Pokémon Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam
-The Magic Land of Allakazam, a television series from the 60's of the magician Mark Wilson From wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaka... |

| May-19-16 | | thegoodanarchist: < HeMateMe: This wonderful combination is in many tactical books, including lev alburt's "300 essential positions".> I knew that I'd seen it before. I am thinking it might be in the "Black Book" as well, but I don't feel like digging it out right now to see. The Black Book = The Encyclopedia of Chess Middlegames. |

Offiser PUN.
Weeeeee-oooooo-weeeeeee-oooooo, dats da sound of da police! Morfusoon HEARBY DECREES dat dis pon is NOT sattisfactory. Offiser PUN, you are a solution in search of a PROBLUM. |
|
| May-19-16 | | Howard: First time I saw the position after 34...Rd2 was in Fred Reinfeld's ancient book How to Play Chess Like a Champion. It was in the first couple chapters, as I recall. |
|
| May-19-16 | | morfishine: <posoo> You are so funny, I like you, you know I've toned things down quite a bit, you know, smell the roses, enjoy life a little, don't be so uptight....its funny, no? |
|
| May-19-16 | | thegoldenband: It oughta be "Alekh-a-Sam", no?
"Alexa-Sam" sounds like an antidepressant or something. |
|
| May-19-16 | | jith1207: <posoo> even though you terms to get into controversies and even as I don't always understand your language, your posts bring me a laugh. Think I need to perfect that diction to really appreciate that. |

|
| Aug-15-18 | | GlennOliver: Alekhine saw that finish at least as early as 28. Nb6 Marvellous vision. |
|

 | | HeMateMe: It ran as smooth as a composed problem, the finish. But, this was against Reshevsky, not a NN, so you know AAA didn't make it up. |
|
| Jan-14-19 | | kontrippo: If you want to check out my video analysis about this gamr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6J... |
|
| May-14-20 | | Albion 1959: Reshevsky must have been in time trouble when he played 34: Rd2?? He was a careful player and I doubt if he would have such a mistake had he not been short of time? Alekhine, alert as ever, delivers a problem-like coup with a queen sacrifice to finish the game !! |
