Feb-22-08		Knight13: Black played 40...Qe4, trying to get a draw by repetition. So Bird tries to prevent that with very unsuccessful 41. Qe6?? which dropped a whole rook. Very bad oversight. May be caused by Mr. Bird's old age.

Apr-06-10		nezhmet: Lasker improves in 1892 with 8...Ng4! over games played in 2009 and 2010! (Nakamura-Friedel US Champ 2009; Molner-Mitkov NAO 2010).
