Anybody remember that bitter complaint about a smelly belch produced at the board by the late, great GM Tony Miles? I mean no offense to his memory by bringing this up but I still find it amusing. Maybe a burp even helped him slay the Karpov monster that time, who knows.

No, a different game, maybe against Jan Timman, I don't remember. But maybe he also unsettled Karpov with his burp technique in that historic game. A DOUBLE ASSAULT ON THE SENSES!!
