| Joshka: <Sally Simpson> Enjoy the surroundings!! It's a shame you cannot communicate with those folks thru spoken language, you might to tell them to advise their thief friends to come to America where looting and stealing have been decriminalized. For example in San Francisco ... |

Oct-20-21 Karpov - Fischer World Championship Match (1975)
| |
| Joshka: <Williebob> Yes that is a fake. If they ever met together OTB, it was in private. Think they met 3 or 4 times....the last time I believe was in Washington, D.C. Believe they also met in the Philippines. |

Sep-29-21 Tigran V Petrosian
| |
| Joshka: <The Rocket> hey thanks for those numbers! I'm surprised that Spassky was in the Top 5! Would never have put him that high up. Fischer at 11 is hard to believe and Carlsen at 15 is also hard to conceive. thanks again |

Aug-30-21 Kenneth Rogoff
| |
| Joshka: Some humor so lighten up folks! This is for you folks who LOVE the satire on your favorite comedy show "Saturday Night Live"....but I'm trying to be nice and give attention to the other side. "Saturday Night Live" just focuses on one side.
Enjoy!!

Aug-26-21 Fischer vs Spassky, 1972
| |
| Joshka: <Muttley101> <No, I am a Latvian> Reminds me of my maternal great uncle who always would chastise people who would call him Russian. "No, I'm Ukrainian"!! My grandmother was the same way as well...hated being lumped together with Soviets!! |

Aug-24-21 Steinitz - Lasker World Championship Match (1894)
| |
| Joshka: A match like this validates my support for draws not counting and playing to a certain number of wins is the best way to go. 10 was the number of wins here, but 6 is probably just as good for this time in history. When draws are counted, whomever is in the lead can just coast his way |
