Karpov complained, but Gorby insisted. To her discredit, Susan Polgar decided not to reply with the sporting 1.. g75. Instead Polgar played a strong opening move, and gained an advantage in the opening. She went on to win. Wow. Gorbatchev's comrades didn't realize he was different? Did they never play a game of chess at the Kreml?

	Maybe it was Fischer from heaven laughing at Kasparov´s face Some years ago when Short was playing a game online, he became suspicious about his opponent beeing Fischer and if I am not mistaken, he played 1.f3 2.Kf2 in some games.

	It has been said that chess players are good at two things, Chess and Excuses. It has also been said that Chess is where all excuses fail! In order to win you must dare to fail!

	I remember at least one instance where someone made the first move for Kasparov and it was something stupid, like 1.f3 or something. Kasparov just replaced the pawn and played something else.

	In many of the posher events some local celebrity / the mayor / sponsor etc is often called upon to perform the first move of one of the games. I just found myself wondering if that is actually covered in the fide rules? Under what circumstances is someone else than the player allowed to make a move on the board? Does telling the mayor to play 1.Nf3 constitute a breach of rule against discussing the game while in progress? And if the mayor misunderstands and plays 1.Nc3 instead can the opponent claim the touché rule? Maybe this is a whole new can of worms for eager "paragraph riders"!?
