Jan-31-07  myschkin: Good start for the 62 year old "veteran" - at a place where he began his fabulous chess career and gained huge success.

Isn't 17...Rd7 a better choice?

and maybe give 21...Ne7!? a try instead of 21...bxa4

The beautiful finish (after 34...Kd7) by Steinitz:

Jan-07-11  Wayne Proudlove: How about 7...Nge7 instead of Bg4?
Jun-04-12  offramp: After 24...Kc7 white looks as if he is about to win any second with those developed rooks and scorching bishops.

25.Ra7+ looks quite good.
25...Kc8 and now how about 26.Bf1?
