Amazing Topalov Chess Coincidence - Geoff Chandler - 02-12-2015
Hi,
An instructive position deep in the endgame appears in a Orlav - Fridman game in 1991.
Later the same year Topalov plays Fridman.
Fridman shows Topalov his game v Orlav (maybe he did - that bit I'm making up)
and in 1992 Topalov has the exact same position on his board in a game against Antunes.
Topalov plays the exact same move as Fridman- and the position is used as a White
to play and draw puzzle quoting the Topalov game.
I cannot find the same position anywhere except in these two games.
One for teachers this one. By sliding a pawn 2 and 3 files to the right you can
demonstrate different winning and drawing methods.

Also a really naff chess book (it's not a chess book) for someone's Christmas.
I also mention Bill Hartston.....
(What is so clever about that?)
I spell his name right! :ymhug:
