May-13-12 Karpov - Fischer World Championship Match (1975)
| |
| Broon Bottle: Lack of games is a major reason why I rank F behind Kasparov, Karpov, Capa and Alekhine. |

Dec-10-11 London Chess Classic (2011)
| |
| Broon Bottle: 'Pure American'? Just the same as a true Englishman. At least we didn't slaughter the native peoples. |

Sep-17-11 Peter Svidler
| |
| Broon Bottle: How did I miss Mr Svidler? He likes cricket, rock music, has a sense of humour and is almost a casual player. Just like me: I'm trying to reach casual standard. Move over Moro - you're too serious - Pyotr is my new favourite. |

| |
| Broon Bottle: Bobcrisp, what do you mean 'minority'? In London as in the cities of the US the term has no meaning. We are all Earthings. Peace |

Apr-03-10 B Larsen vs W Hartston, 1973
| |
| Broon Bottle: I believe that Hartston lost to Uhlmann and Larsen in the final rounds and missed his GM title. This was 1972 when a GM title was special. He would have become the UK's first modern GM (Miles was 1976, I think). |
