Apr-04-24 G Mahia vs Quinteros, 1980
| |
| Cardinal Fang: In his 'This Crazy World of Chess', Larry Evans observed 'Nobody heard of Mahia again. In the words of Gray's Elegy, "Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, and waste its sweetness on the desert air.' Not strictly true, of course. |

Aug-12-12 Polugaevsky vs Smyslov, 1979
| |
| Cardinal Fang: CG, please don't put the kibitzing on the sides rather than at the bottom. It would make it impossible to focus on the moves and at the same time ignore the kibitzing. |

Aug-11-12 Lutikov vs L Aronson, 1957
| |
| Cardinal Fang: I assume that at the time Lutikov played this combination, he would have received not only a gracious handshake from his opponent, but also an enthusiastic round of applause from the audience - whether it was made up of grown-ups or indeed of children. |
