| Dec-14-03 | | MoonlitKnight: Yes, but to do something like that I think he must have been crazy from the start. Maybe he just hid it at first. |

 | | technical draw: You mean dancing in the streets naked is crazy? Then I better stop doing it. |
|
| Dec-14-03 | | PinkPanther: I wonder if the Repetto was in any way related to the guy that made Pinocchio, lol. |
|
| Dec-15-03 | | Cerebrate2006: Its only crazy if someone catches you...otherwisse its fine...i been doing it for years |

 | | Chessical: Torre had a nervous breakdown, and later recovered. He was never "a complete lunatic", which is a useless and hurtful phrase. |
|
| Dec-15-03 | | Kaspablanca: Moonlight and Pinkpanther: Why do you two refer Carlos Torre Repetto only to Reppetto? The correct thing is to refer him as Torre Repetto. He as Latin American use two surnames, the paternal surname (Torre) and the maternal surname(Repetto).
Capablanca as Cuban also had two surnames, in many books in Spanish use his full name, Jose Raul Capablanca y Graupera. Tecnical draw: Torre Repetto danced in the street naked as Green Bishop wrote. I read in a book that Torre Repetto was a very gentleman and a very polite chessplayer, when he ofered draw he asked this way: Quiere tablas señor?,(Call it a draw sir?) |

 | | jaime gallegos: Kaspablanca is a purist about the spanish names, it is enough to call them Capablanca and Torre to avoid mistakes because in many countries the last name is the last one ! Many people would think that Graupera or Repetto are the last names of this well knowing chess players. |
|
| Dec-15-03 | | Benjamin Lau: <Kaspablanca>
Actually, I was the one that reported Repetto "danced in the street naked." He supposedly tried to remove his clothing on a bus in New York, then jumped into the streets, going bonkers. Here's a short biography I found concerning his insanity and several speculations (besides the one involving his fiancee). |

|
| Dec-15-03 | | MoonlitKnight: I just thought Repetto was a very cool name. It has a certain schwung. Also, a man must be crazy to give up chess when he is on the verge of becoming a top player! Kamsky was crazy, too. |
|
| Dec-15-03 | | Kaspablanca: Jaime Gallegos: I just made this remark to avoid confusion for those who doesnt know the rules of the Spanish last names and for they know how is the correct use. Most Latin Americans use their two last names in the personal documents as ID cards, passports or driver license. I am not just a purist of the Spanish names but also a purist of the Cervantes language itself. bueno no una cosa que diga que bruto que purista es este tipo pero si como decia Roberto Gomez Bolaños en el personaje del Chompiras. Benjamin Lau: Ha ha, i´ve never heard that story, i always though Torre Repetto danced in the street due to his mental condition. |

| | technical draw: <Kaspablanca> Yo prefiero el personaje del Chavo Del Ocho. |
|
| Dec-16-03 | | Kaspablanca: Tecnical draw: I see you can speak the language of Cervantes, i am glad of that. Roberto Gomez Bolaños is a genius of the Latin American humor, a mi tambien me gusta el personaje del chavo del ocho pero mi favorito es el chompiras. |
|
| Dec-21-03 | | Ruylopez: Usar los apellidos paternos y maternos no es solamente una costumbre latinoamericana. También se sigue en España. Pero su uso en los Estados Unidos casi siempre resulta en confusión. |
|
| Mar-29-04 | | ArturoRivera: A remarkable draw by the Mexican Repetto, beacause all is ciclic, every move of a pawn, the knight, the king, everithing leads to a draw, i am sorry capablanca, but this fich was just to big for you. |
|
| Aug-27-04 | | lao tzu: The name "Torre" means "Tower". Tartakover once observed that the reason Torre was so successful was that he played with three towers! |
|
| Dec-12-04 | | Republic of Texas: <lao tzu>: In chess, Torre also means Rook/Castle...... Within a few days, the 17th Annual Carlos Torre Repetto Tournament will begin in Mérida, Yucatán, México. http://www.carlostorre.org.mx/ |
|
| Feb-05-07 | | CapablancaFan: Wow, what a showing by Torre. How in the world did he manage to draw this Capa having 2 passed pawns? At first glance I could'nt see it, but then it became clear that there was no way for Cap to win this. Any move by Cap in the final position leads to a draw because both pawns cannot be saved as the bishop will sacrafice itself for 1 and the king will pick off the other.Obviously you cannot mate with just knight and king. Good game by Torre. |

 | | tamar: White's position looks overwhelming near the time control. Was it there all along? I decided to analyze with endgame beast Komodo to see if Black really had a fortress. It concludes 39 Nc5+ wins, instead of 38 Kd3. The point is to keep Black's King off of b6 and a5. 39 Nc5+ Kd6 40 Na6 Bd7 41 Kd2 Bc8 42 Nc5 (43 Kd3 Bxa6 may draw because the White King lacks entry squares) Kc7 43 a5

| Apr-02-14 | | Whitehat1963: What happens if 52. Nxd5? |
|
Apr-03-14
 | | AylerKupp: <Whitehat1963> If 52.Nxd5 then after 52...Ka6 White can't stop 53...Kxa5 since 53.Kb4 would lose the knight. And after 53...Kxa5 Black can sacrifice his bishop for White's d-pawn, leading to a drawn K+N vs. K ending. |
|
| Jul-04-16 | | RookFile: A pretty nifty save by Torre. Most people don't draw an ending two pawns down to Capa. |
