Jun-05-05  PARACONT1: How I miss Sokolov! If anyone thought he was a fluke chess star they were wrong! Here he totally decimated the old Hungarian lion from a position in the Ruy that was all the rage at the time (made famous in the KvK match 1986.) Great win!
Jun-13-16  zydeco: Yeah, this is a head-spinning game. 22.Nxc4!!? starts the complications.
