LancelotduLac: <Ziggurat> Is this the quote you were referring to? <When having an edge, Karpov often marked time and still gained the advantage! I don't know anyone else who could do that, it's incredible. I was always impressed and delighted by this skill. When it looked like it ... |

LancelotduLac: <WannaBe> Good one! Unfortunately, not too many seem to even know who Victor Borge was, but I'm a huge fan! |

Feb-23-07 S Savchenko vs Savon, 1999 
|
LancelotduLac: Savon's play deteriorated over the years, until he sadly passed away in 2005, but he should be better remembered. His stunning win in the 1971 USSR Championship was one of the greatest chess upsets of all time. |

Feb-01-07 Levon Aronian 
|
LancelotduLac: <strongestforce> I don't think of his style as resembling Capablanca at all. If I had to compare it to a World Champion it would be Lasker, but to compare it to anyone's style, I think Larsen's comes closest. Aronian likes to mix things up early, take his opponent out of |
