<a href="http://en.chessbase.com/post/the-april-fools-prank-that-was-and-wasnt-040413">Jokes</a> -- filling in the years, the trick of the Simpleminded set in 2013 was sainthood for Robert Fischer. Expect <b> Oil Rig ChessBase </b>to be counting the last seven days to this year's April 1 stunt, or else it would be breaking with this one longstanding tradition.<p> Fischer deserves sainthood, after all, because with Capablanca 60-70 years earlier he broke out of the box seeing their hopeless position in favor of computer-challenging opening book-innovating CVs.
