Sep-11-24 E Torre vs S Polgar, 1985
|
CopyBlanca: her first win against a grandmaster. Torre did not have a vastly superior position ever. She explained the trap she set on move 17 and calculated 10 moves ahead. brilliant and stockfish agrees with her move 17... accepting the pawn was a mistake but that is not the point.. |

CopyBlanca: I came up with 37 N takes pawn on D6. I think that is pretty good too. as the threat of mate with a B-H6 lurking a few moves down gives black a lot of problems. |

Dec-07-19 Pachman vs Bronstein, 1946 
|
CopyBlanca: The pun is on the video game PAC MAN that was one of the first video games and very popular. Pac Man was always being chased by GHOSTS in the video as he maneuvered around the maze. |

Apr-24-19 Yanofsky vs Fischer, 1962 
|
CopyBlanca: Why even bother talking about Karpov in the same breath as Fischer. Karpov is not even one of the top ten players of all time. Fischer is never rated lower than third by anyone. |
