Wolbrecht missed his own winning chance when 23...Nc6 allows him to beat off the attack, ...      Jul-01-12 Korchnoi vs Karpov, 1974    Call Me TC: This game is also significant because it's the first time that Kasparov crosses Karpov's path, and it's a portent of things to come: <And I was fortunate enough to see the 21st game live: I was taken to it by my trainer Alexander Nikitin.

They were played for stakes, to be paid to the first player to score five wins, draws not counting. He won them all: v. L.R. Eisenberg 5+ 2-; v. C. Jaffe 5+ 0-; v. A. Marder 5+ 2-; and v. J.C. Rosenthal 5+      Jun-23-12 Anand - Gelfand World Championship Match (2012)    Call Me TC: OK, <cg.com>'s most tedious poster, then. Same difference.      Jun-23-12 Bogoljubov vs Alekhine, 1934    Call Me TC: <Anybody willing to look up what Skinner and Verhoven say about it?> They give Alekhine's comments to the game which appeared in <Tijdschrift van den Nederlandsch-Indischen Schaakbond>.
