Andrzej Filipowicz of Poland appears again in Game 107 of the Siegen Chess Olympiad book, again playing the Benoni, this time v (Dario?) Alzate of Colombia. The Pole understands the theoretical wrinkles of the opening better than his Colombian opponent. Fascinating notes by Levy. pic.twitter.com/qnaBb10fN3

La combinación de Lasker
El 26 de agosto de 1889, se jugó “La combinación de Lasker”.
Hablé un poco de ella y de Lasker en una nota de ABC Color de Paraguay en 2013.
Escribir el libro sobre Lasker fue maravilloso, cada día me decía “¡Qué bueno era Lasker!”https://t.co/n3Ys3Bo2d4 pic.twitter.com/Iz3rIr0MIp— Zenon Franco (@ZenonchessPY) August 26, 2023
