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.

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.
