"When I played in the World Junior in Kiljava 1984, there was a big queue outside the door of Mark Condie because he had a copy of the latest Informant 36! Remembered seeing the game Tukmakov - Dreev there before giving it to the next boy in the queue. This was game 36/449." Viswanathan Anand More... Prof. Nagesh Havanur Review
