frate...hey to all , and my respects to all of you. <br />fraternally id like say , that todays world runs on speculations and suppositions , runs with not actual backed quotes nor verifiable data. The lack of todays essayists is the weak use of historical and verifiable data . as for your essay my dear friend is guided by your political view more than a look to the truth and finally please , if you like to persuade your point of view dont start saying your arguments are ambiguous it neutralizes the value of all the piece. to convince a blind political fanatic i give u a 10 . to persuade a person who uses reason and thoghts , i give you a 0 . sorryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844144.post-55902694041539569812010-07-13T03:52:21.634-04:002010-07-13T03:52:21.634-04:00There is one Castro game from the Olympiad 1966 wh...There is one Castro game from the Olympiad 1966 which is well documented and authenticated by reliable wittnesses like Finnish GM Heikki Westerinen who was standing nearby.

The first one was Terrazas-Fischer vs. Castro-Petrosian and that game was lost by Terrazas-Fischer. After that, Castro immediately proposed another game to Terrazas but to be played without any help or advice, that game was won by Castro (evidently Terrazas played several weak moves in my opinion intentionally). Terrazas described those two games with his personal comments to the newspaper that day. I was 18 when the Olympiad, and I saw several rounds of that memorable event. Fischer was magnific with the Cuban people, he spent after the Olympiad, 15 days visiting several beaches and places in Cuba, some of them with Castro and Petrosian, who also stayed several days in Cuba after the competition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844144.post-17490962649492407362008-04-11T01:23:00.000-04:002008-04-11T01:23:00.000-04:00Another photo which may be of interest can be seen...Another photo which may be of interest can be seen on eBay:<BR/><BR/>http://cgi.ebay.com/Cuba-Fidel-Castro-Bobby-Fischer-Chess-66-Vintage-Photo_W0QQitemZ300215294475QQihZ020QQcategoryZ14280QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem<BR/><BR/>Lawrence TotaroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844144.post-44551602413759954742007-11-19T16:11:00.000-05:002007-11-19T16:11:00.000-05:00i do not support fidel castro. but let me give u s...i do not support fidel castro. but let me give u some info. politicians are very crooked people. if u can survive in politics. u can survive in a game of chess. and apparently, castro is at the head of the political chess game. to get to the top like that, u play a lot of that chess. chess is easy for him, and i wouldnt be surprised if he was pretty good at it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844144.post-34408321937423962142007-10-29T01:19:00.000-04:002007-10-29T01:19:00.000-04:00I have two quick comments, neither of which is int...I have two quick comments, neither of which is intended to critique your interpretation of the events. Instead, they add a couple of facts to the mix that may or may not allow you or someone else to draw a fuller picture.<BR/><BR/>1. Re Fischer and the King's Gambit, don't forget that after his "bust" (which only applied to 3.Nf3 in the KGA) he played the KG three times in tournaments (once before Havana 1966 and twice after, in 1968). He also used it pretty regularly in his 1964 simul tour.<BR/><BR/>2. Fwiw, that's Lev Polugaevsky next to Petrosian; shouldn't he have been involved in some way, too?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
