Chalk Hawk: I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that English is not iliasbay's native language. But what he/she wrote is about 10,000 times more coherent than any stab most of us would make at writing it up in Russian or whatevertheheckitis his native language is.

Sounds like ilias had an itch to scratch and tried to satisfy it with some sort of research effort. Knock yourself out, ilias.

Saw a fascinating documentary-type piece on this game done by Bob Costas or somebody like that a number of years ago, giving the Russians' perspective. Remember their arguments for being rightful winners sounded fairly reasonable, or at least understandable. A real eye-opener.
