Kibitzer's Corner
Feb-05-04  Whitehat1963: Larsen takes a quick lesson in his own pet opening system.
Feb-05-04  Larson: It looks that way.
Feb-05-04  fred lennox: 13 g5 opens up the f file. Not wise in this position.
Oct-25-04  Larsenb3: 3.c4 is what surprised me, He didn't play this version often (if at all) other than this and it seemed to be to little success.
Feb-15-05  iron maiden: Larsen's results from 1970 suggest that he may have been past his best even before the match with Fischer. He was still a definite top-10 player, but probably he had slipped down to a Marshall level, say, as opposed to a world championship level.
Apr-17-08  zev22407: One more harakiri by Larsen in his pet opening.
Apr-17-08  Resignation Trap: Portisch also sacrificed a Rook on f2 when his opponent tried this opening in this game: Csom vs Portisch, 1976 .
Apr-18-08  whiteshark: It's # in 13 moves, starting with 23.Kh2 :D
Apr-18-08  whiteshark: Here is the line:

23.Kh2 Qf4+ 24.Kg1 Qf2+ 25.Kh2 Bh6 26.Bd2 Bxd2 27.Qxd2 Qg3+ 28.Kg1 Nxd2 29.Rc3 Qxc3 30.Kh2 Rf8 31.Rc1 Qxc1 32.b4 Nf3+ 33.Bxf3 Rxf3 34.bxa5 Rf2+ 35.Kg3 Qf4#

Apr-18-08  Marmot PFL: < Larsenb3 > 3.e3 and Bb5 seems more dangerous for black.
