  FSR: 11.Ba5! is an unusual queen trap that must have shocked Dlugy.
Nov-13-17  tjipa: Yo, a nice queen trap indeed! I wonder how Karklins is doing these days. I just googled out of curiosity and learned that his legendary father has recently passed away at the age of 102. http://www.il-chess.org/history/114...

  FSR: tjipa - not great. He is legally blind and impoverished. But he's still playing chess.
Nov-14-17  Howard: Didn't I see him playing at the Chicago Open 2-3 years ago?

  FSR: Howard - quite possibly. If you go to the USCF website, you can see what tournaments he's played in.

The fate of most of the chess-playing world in these times, it seems

  GrahamClayton: 10...Be6?? shows that even GMs are not immune from missing one move threats.
Jan-17-25  Granny O Doul: I played this one vs. Anonymous the other day on lichess at 1+2:

1. e4 c6 2. Nc3 d5 3. Nf3 Bg4 4. h3 Bxf3 5. Qxf3 dxe4 6. Nxe4 Nd7 7. d4 Ngf6 8. Bg5 Nxe4 9. Qxe4 Qa5+10. Bd2 Qb6 11. 0-0-0 Nf6 12. Qe5 e6 13. Ba5 Nd7 14. Qe1, 1-0.

  perfidious: Perhaps, as the winner of Nunn vs K Georgiev, 1988 wrote in his collection of best games of his opponent playing it out, Dlugy played on a while to make the game less publishable.

<Graham: 10...Be6?? shows that even GMs are not immune from missing one move threats.>

The irony of this is that in our first meeting, at Philadelphia 1993, Dlugy was up a pawn and I had compensation, quite possibly enough, but he hung a piece for nothing. The rest of the game was embarrassing: we were both short of time and I was winning the ending, but blundered and he won.

Jan-17-25  Granny O Doul: I remember seeing the game quite soon after, most likely in Soltis's NY Post column. It wasn't Robert Byrne's usual fare.
