1964, Amsterdam, interzonal tournament. Now it looks like a small "open" of 24 participants, but then we played for over a month! 12 tables, a special volunteer records the moves so that there is no confusion in the recording!

You must be able to handle a variety of move orders during the first 5-6 moves - otherwise you'll find yourself 'tricked' time and time again.

Once in a conversation with Keres I mentioned this and even compared Botvinnik with a bulldozer, which sweeps away everything in its path. Keres smiled and said: 'But can you imagine what it was like to play him when he was young?'

Tilburg (Netherlands), 29th September 1980.
The opening moves of what would become a famous game - World Champion Anatoly Karpov v. ex-World Champion Boris Spassky from the 9th round of the Interpolis tournament.

Garry Kasparov at his home in Moscow in August/September 1999 (Sygma Collection). I understand why his two nephews seem a little worried: it's like doing Physics homework in front of Einstein.

Janusz Kudelka (Airbnb California, 2061) just played the best game of the event and probably the best game of his life against an IM Ali Muhammad Lutfi.

In this position he went for a kill: 21. Rxd6!! exd6 22. exf6 Rc7 23. Qxe6 Qd7 24. fxg7+ Kxg7 25. Qf6+ Kg8 26. Qf8#

Amazing!
