Unless there was an outstanding revelation, beyond the oft repeated belief by
his most ardent fans that he would beat everyone in sight and crush them to
little pieces after he had stomped them to a pulp, I fail to see the relevance
with this group. For example, I don't see anything on Tal, Smyslov, or Alekhine
(other than references to positions or games), which is just as well, as it
would have very little to do with the proposed subject matter of this message
board. So I don't see why Bobby, however wonderful his stomping techniques may
have been, would be an exception to this.
