The Paradox of Choice

The Linares tournament . . . yet another reason to be jealous of Spain.

... this is the name I remember for those games.

By the way... which wine do you think is the best to better swallow the ’poisoned pawn’ variation in the Sicilian Najdorf....

Hum.... perhaps a ’full-throtle’ red... like Clos Mogador :^D.

Anyone who accepts the poisoned pawn should automatically be served a wine contaminated with brettanomyces.

I’ve just remembered that Berberana produces an export label under the name ";dragon"; :^(

If you want something more in the nature of jet fuel, there is also Turley Dragon Zinfandel.

:^)

... but I’m enjoying it very much!

I was thinking what to drink with the Falkbeer countergambit, and the King’s Indian.... . Les Sorts Vinyes Velles in the first case and the AN/2 in the second?

How about the Queen’s gambit? is some champagne required?

Of course the Ruy Lopez.... a complex Fino (Tio Pepe, perhaps) to go deep into all the lines :^D

And finally he Catalan Opening... I see it matching with the Mas d’En Compte Blanc perfectly!

At one point in time, one of the strongest chess player in the world was a man who was literaly born in in Chateau Latour and worked as a wine merchant. Who was he?

Hint: Although it was before formal ";world championships"; in chess, Howard Staunton’s victory over this player generally established Stanuton as the best player of the time.
