belgradegambit
Member since Jun-29-04 · Last seen Apr-18-25
USCF about 1700. (haven't played OTB in 20 years). Love the sicilian dragon as black, belgrade gambit in 4 knights as white. I drew with (a very young) Maxim Dlugy in 1980. I was a member and later president of the Columbia University chess club in the days when the first team was Salvatore Matera, Gary Klein Robert Gruchacz and Julius H Loftsson

belgradegambit: This variation by white is the Kopec Sicilian after its inventor Danny Kopec I have personal knowledge of this because he beat me years ago with this weapon.

belgradegambit: Thanks for all the compliments on the pun. I also prefer the original Swedish movie. I’ve played the dragon for over 50 years so I tend to submit Black wins in that variation such as Karjakin vs Radjabov, 2008 and M Perunovic vs Velimirovic, 2006 and Panov vs Simagin, 1943

belgradegambit: Fascinating game. Black pitches a piece in the opening for 3 pawns and gradually gets the upper hand.

   Dec-19-24 T Wall vs D Ippolito, 1998
 
belgradegambit: When Dean was in college he was such a strong player that Chess Life dubbed him Dean “The Destroyer “ Ippolito.
 
   Dec-18-24 Dlugy vs D Sheppard, 1993 (replies)
 
belgradegambit: I know real players like perfidious often mention encounters with a player in the GOTD. A patzer like myself can rarely do that but in the final round of a tournament in 1980 I played Dlugy with the Black pieces and drew which gave me third place and $300.
