Dec-16-13 | | RookFile: Smyslov appeared to defend pretty well in a losing effort. An impressive win by Ribli. |
|
Sep-13-14 | | aragorn69: Brilliant endgame! |
|
Sep-13-14 | | Howard: Yes, it was certainly well-played by Ribli...
....but then in the Candidates semi-final round, when Smyslov and Ribli were paired off, things turned out differently. |
|
Dec-12-14
 | | Phony Benoni: Poor Zoltan Ribli. Destined to be monopuntal.
Korchnoi vs Ribli, 1987 |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Did the players adjourn the game here, and then Smyslov resigned before the resumption of play? |

 | | HeMateMe: Benoni, have you ever met any of these famous players, at the USA Opens? |
|
Dec-12-14 | | shivasuri4: Wouldn't 38...Be5 have been better? I can't see White getting anything more than a perpetual after 39.Rxe5 Qxe5 40.Qf7+ Kh8. |
|

Dec-12-14 | | TheTamale: Perfect pun. Simple, relevant, funny. |
|
Dec-12-14 | | kevin86: Black cannot hold the game, despite being a bishop for three pawns. |
|
Dec-12-14 | | Alphastar: What is the pun about? |
|
Dec-12-14
 | | HeMateMe: It's about Cal Ripken, a baseball player who went 20 years without missing a game. |
|
Dec-12-14 | | Lighthorse: <Alphastar: What is the pun about?>
Ripley's Believe It or Not museums. See http://www.ripleys.com/ They are in a number of USA locations, some in Canada, and a few others in other countries. |
|
Dec-12-14
 | | Domdaniel: If Ribli/Ripley provides a pun, how about Patricia Highsmith's Ripley novels? Ribli's Game
The Boy who Followed Ribli
Ribli Under Ground
etc... |
|
Dec-12-14
 | | HeMateMe: I think the pun was meant to reference Lt. Ripley:
