Came across this game from the 1950 Candidates playoff for the right
to face Botvinnik and just thought I would share it.
Bronstein went on to win the playoff +3 -2 =9.

Blockade! by

J.D. Walker wrote:
I have been watching Nakamura take on Rybka lately at blitz on ICC. He
can draw an unexpected number of times given that Rybka is rated at
about 3700 in blitz and he is only about 3400. Sometimes he even wins
by running the computer out of time.
I learned a few tricks from him. I used them to win from a lesser
computer engine that was rated 2698 in blitz. ...

gambitchess DB books, will pay for password by
Paul Stivers[_2_]
I'm wearing my thick skin for the flames I'm probably gonna get on
this. At least I'm not asking for it for free. And maybe you'd like a
little more compensation for the work you did on your book. I'm a new
chess player. The books I have, or am interested in, are already in
there.
I will gladly pay $10 US (firm) by paypal to the first person who wants
to exchange for the DB books...

What is Fischer saying to Castro? by
Chess One[_2_]
My old colleague Christophe Bouton has put up several fascinating pictures,
especially of the Havanna 66 event. I have seen some others from this event;
Larry Evans playing Mark Taimanov, with 'Che' Guevara looking on. That is on
Mark's double music CD
Christophe also shows Che at his own game, but, and how topical, also shows
RJF saying something to Castro. What, does anyone know, did he...

Bill Brock's Lawyer Wins the Prize for "Best Brief" by
samsloan
Bill Brock's attorney has just won the Sam Sloan Award for "Best
Brief".
I still think I can beat him (because I have a winning case, not
because I can write a better brief) but I must give him credit where
credit is due.

Steinitz and God by
ttk5079@gmail.com
In another thread, this quote from one Christopher Law was given:
"Chess has traditionally been associated with insanity. Grandmaster
Wilhelm Steinitz was incarcerated in a Moscow asylum where he played a
game over an invisible telephone line with God. God Lost."
This hoary old legend, like Morphy's shoes and others similar, seems
to get embellished with each retelling. The above rendition...
