Oct-08-22 Lasker vs Reshevsky, 1936 
|
Ricosupercapo: Probably Lasker's worst defeat. |
|
|
|
Jun-24-22 Tal vs Petrosian, 1975
|
Ricosupercapo: I think 19. ...f6 covers everything. Black should probably win from that position. |

Jun-24-22 Tal vs Antoshin, 1972
|
Ricosupercapo: Tal was a right handful at Blitz |
|

|
Aug-11-21 Yanofsky vs Botvinnik, 1946

Oct-18-20 Tal vs Korchnoi, 1968

Nov-03-19 Tal vs Najdorf, 1960 
|
Ricosupercapo: Miguel Najdorf was known to be a teller of tall tales. This seems to be borne out regarding his boast to Tal about "having battled successfully against Alyekhin and Capablanca". This database does not contain any game between Najdorf and Alyekhin, and only one between Najdorf ... |

Aug-21-19 P Cramling vs Korchnoi, 1984 
|
Ricosupercapo: Korchnoi was a notoriously bad loser, and he was particularly malicious with female players. His behaviour was unacceptable. |

|
Dec-11-18 Taimanov vs Matulovic, 1970 
|
Ricosupercapo: I read somewhere that Botvinnik had little time for Taimanov. Apparently he found out that Taimanov paid his last round opponent money to lose the last round game on purpose; thus enabling Taimanov to tie Botvinnik for a Soviet Championship title. |
