Aug-14-04  jaime gallegos: the only move to delay the end is 21...f6 22.Bxg7+ Kg8 23. Bxf6+ Kf7 24. Qxe6+ Ke8 25. Qxe7# 1-0
Oct-15-05  azaris: I'd like to know what Kotov's "tree of analysis" looked like after 20...Nd7???. One of the worst blunders in history.
Aug-11-07  bransk: I think it is amazing that all of Bronstein's forces came through that little hole at d2-e2....really cool!
Aug-13-07  wolfmaster: My thoughts exactly,<bransk>!

  rustyj: Is Bronstein's 20. Nc3 purely a decoy move so as to get black to move its knight off of d6 to 20...Nd7 with the intention of moving White's bishop freely from 22. Bxg7 to 23. Bxe5?
