May-14-24 United States Championship (1972)

Caissanist: This tournament was the tragedy of Lombardy's career; he played the best chess in the tournament, but also the worst. He badly wanted to make the Interzonal and play for the world championship, but he was trying to play in the tournament while working full time (high school ...

Apr-30-24 Dommaraju Gukesh

Caissanist: It's been obvious for a long time that chess was becoming more and more a conventional sport. In general terms, pretty much everything there is to know is now known, so the "animal element" of the game--stamina, speed, the ability to memorize and recall more information than the ...

Apr-09-24 Rainer Knaak

Caissanist: Becoming a grandmaster at 22 was quite an achievement at the time, but Knaak's career (as well as that of Uwe Boensch ) was crippled by the East German government's apparent decision to de-emphasize chess after 1972, when they finished far behind West Germany in the Olympiad. ...

Apr-08-24 Duncan Suttles

Caissanist: <lentil> Nobody in the same year. Besides Suttles, Biyiasas has played in both the US and Canadian Closed championships. In the last 20 years the US Championship has sometimes been played as a swiss rather than a round-robin with a large number of players qualifying; Igor ...

Mar-29-24 Faustino Oro

Caissanist: LOL, great cute-little-kid reaction: https://youtu.be/Bw5zBnhgqgk?t=104

Mar-17-24 Suttles vs Evans, 1975

Caissanist: Photo of the game in this article: https://www.chess.com/article/view/... .

Mar-15-24 N Cortlever vs Bronstein, 1952

Caissanist: Oh, I'd say that time trouble was a perfectly good explanation. A lot of better players than Cortlever made worse blunders than this in time pressure, back in the days before increments. Probably some still do, even without the extreme time pressure of the "good old days".

Mar-15-24 Reggio Emilia (1970/71)

Caissanist: The reference to Cardoso supposedly leaving everything to Benko doesn't show up on the link anymore. I don't know who wrote it, but it's from a newsgroup with many postings from Sam Sloan, and sounds pretty Sloan-ish.

Mar-15-24 Reshevsky vs Benko, 1963

Caissanist: It is well known that Reshevsky "won" a game against Denker when a clueless tournament director failed to time forfeit him in a drawn position. According to Benko and Reshevsky vs Denker, 1942 , the circumstances of Reshevsky's "win" here were quite similar. His flag fell on move

Mar-15-24 Ron Gross

Caissanist: Gross was a friend to many GMs. Pal Benko's memoir contains an interesting interview with him where he talks about his experiences hanging out with Benko, Evans and Larsen in the 1960s.
