Nov-24-22 San Antonio (1972) 
| |
| Petrosianic: <Olavi>: <Karpov had won the Alekhine Memorial in 1971 together with Stein, arguably the strongest tournament since AVRO 1938... not very likely Fischer uttered those words.> Yes, but it's possible that he said something similar that the speaker misreported. More ... |

Nov-11-22 E Schiller vs M Pinto, 1998
| |
| Petrosianic: <perfidious: The Wilkes-Barre is known as the Traxler everywhere <but> here in the States.> Not so. It's known as the Wilkes-Barre in the UK. It was named by Frank Marshall, who was the first to publish analyses of it. He wasn't the first to play it, but Alekhine ... |

| Petrosianic: Nah, Kirk drank coffee on the bridge several times. He once even had his drink doped with Scalosian water that way. |

Oct-23-22 U.S. Championship (2022)
| |
| Petrosianic: <Sally Simpson> <The hoo-har about him not explaining his moves was from those in shock that a sub 2700 player had beaten Carlsen. Some are still looking at the two ratings wondering how it happened.> The same way Fischer could lose to Letelier or Tony Miles could ... |

| |
| Petrosianic: <FSR>: <Reshevsky was anything but a "classy gentleman." Read Stuart Rachels' book The Best I Saw in Chess>. I'm not going to read an entire book to make your point for you. You're going to have to either make it yourself or it won't get made. |

Oct-21-22 Hans Niemann
| |
| Petrosianic: I may have to check deeper into Nakamura. I usually don't listen to him because he's so repetitious, repeats everything three times, and his speech is loaded with "Uh, uh..." Here's a video titled "Hikaru Nakamura gives proof Hans Niemann cheated vs Magnus Carlsen" ... |

Oct-18-22 C Yoo vs Caruana, 2022
| |
| Petrosianic: <It says nothing about move 30. Where did you get that?> I got that from Chess24's posting of the rules, which says "Draw offers are not allowed before move 30." However, C24 has been known to be sloppy about such things in the past. (Notice that the same page says that ... |
