| Joshka: Folks I'm trying to find the game between Tal and a player who was said to sacrifice pieces even more than Tal? His first name is Rashid I believe, and last name starts with Nezh? Can't seem to find his name in the player directory. Thoughts? |

May-18-25 Magnus Carlsen
| |
| Joshka: <Korora> Well if this Free Style is the same then they ARE slighting him big time. Even the increment clocks we use should be attributed to him!! Amazing all the predictions he made about chess being too predictable, with everything coming down to memorizing, back in the day, ... |

Nov-06-24 Kenneth Rogoff

| Joshka: <The Integrity> Any word on why Roger Stone, has not been seen or heard from within team Trump? He was in his corner big time thru the 2016 election, I know he has become a born again Christian, since his incarceration, maybe he's done with activist politics? Will have to see ... |

Jul-30-24 Karpov - Kasparov World Championship Match (1984/85)
| |
| Joshka: Also folks, Fisher was planning on writing a book that goes into details about all the prearrangements that took place during this match. But during the Bekins heist, the notes were conveniently, stolen. Some books and notes were returned, but not THOSE!!! |
