Diego Maradona meets Anatoly Karpov: (19-09-2005)

In Conversation: GM John Burke
Check out our in-depth interview with GM John Burke, the winner of the 2020 U.S. Junior Championship! Six key games go under the microscope.

People (men watching) couldn’t believe a 12 year old girl could sacrifice material & almost beat Tal (classical & blitz world champion) in our first ever blitz game (in Russia). The game ended in a draw as he found incredible game saving ideas. He gave me great advice after! 👑

Even a chess player of the old school could hardly resist Mikhail Tal's charm. Alexander Kotov warmly writes in his book "Jokingly and Seriously" about his meetings with the 8th world champion

Some people think that if their opponent plays a beautiful game, it’s okay to lose. I don’t. You have to be merciless.

The 1980 Olympics were difficult for the USSR national team. The Hungarian team was ahead for a long time. In the 11th round, they managed to beat the USA with great difficulty. The victory was brought by the youngest member of the team who defeated Leonid Shamkovich.
