Apr-19-25 Biographer Bistro   Sally Simpson: <Hi NPA> Probably not a hoax (unless Virgil Kimm has been hoodwinked) but a genuine error and it could have happened though I'm sure we would have heard more about it. A Virgil Miles Kimm started the West Point chess club and led a unit on Omaha Beach on D-Day (the ...      Apr-18-25 G Thomas vs E Klein, 1946    Sally Simpson: Yes John, the 1974 edition, which I do not have, has corrected that bit. It took two years but we have finally nailed it. I have Assiac's 'Adventures' I'll find another game that is not on here, submit it and we can all meet up again.      Apr-18-25 S Swanson vs G Makropoulos, 1980    Sally Simpson: The score came straight from Chessbase. https://players.chessbase.com/ecoga... I'll see if I can obtain another source though if C.B. is wrong then others will have copied from them. I have some Scottish Chess Magazines from that era, I'll give them the once over as well. ...      Apr-18-25 Hans Niemann    Sally Simpson: I'm watching live on chess.com, all game at stages where you not guess it was classical or freestyle. Hans won his first game with a neat Queen sac and mate.      Apr-18-25 Mark Taimanov    Sally Simpson: "a Navy SEAL, a doctor, and an astronaut" Jonny Kim is all three https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonny... (but he is not a GM and cannot play the piano.)      Apr-17-25 P Maghsoodloo vs S Royal, 2025    Sally Simpson: The theory is he mixed up his prep when playing 9...Bxc3+ instead of 9...d6. which has been played before but does not have a good record. Opening Explorer (9.Bxc3+ P.3 and L3...now L4.) He may have slipped it in thinking, no harm done, to get Maghsoodloo out of his prep and ...      Apr-17-25 Maroczy vs Tarrasch, 1902   Sally Simpson: I tried again and this time I was given. AI Overview "In 1902, Geza Maróczy and José Raúl Capablanca played a match where Maróczy won all five games, with Capablanca not scoring a single point, <according to Chess Notes.> I followed the given link. It take you too ...      Apr-17-25 D P Wheeler vs J Emms, 2005    Sally Simpson: Black to play. [DIAGRAM] Like others I also was drawn too 1...Rxa2 and the Knight fork on b3. I was well into analysing 2. bxc5 Rxa1+ 3.Kb2 and only spotted 3.Qxa1 could be played. (if this was Blitz or Rapid I can see me playing 1...Rxa2.) Backtrack and I went for 1...Nxd3+ ...      Apr-17-25 Kibitzer's Café    Sally Simpson: <Harry Lime> LONDON FOOTBALL CLUBS: Leyton Orient.      Apr-16-25 M Monticelli vs A Muffang, 1935   Sally Simpson: It is strange because Andre Muffang was a good player and before resigning players tend to look for checks and any passing straws. The score might be incomplete and 20..Qg6+ was played but Black went to lose. Perhaps Black's 12th move was 12...Qc7 then the same moves follow on
