Jan-28-19 C Ali Marandi vs F Kaleoglu, 2011    madhatter5: I second that about blind alleys. With the third hint I was thinking maybe something like a phone number...the area code for Konya, Turkey is 332, but that doesn't seem to clarify anything.      Jan-05-13 Smyslov vs Reshevsky, 1953    madhatter5: And also why 28. Bg2, placing the bishop in front of his pawns? I realize the bishop was useless on h3, but how is it better on g2? because it's defended?      Oct-13-12 Bronstein vs Korchnoi, 1964    madhatter5: I took this position randomly from Gaprindashvili's excellent "Critical moments in Chess" (before move 23)and put it on a board and gave myself 15 minutes to calculate. I was very pleased to have played Re6!, a move stronger than Bronstein's!
