  fred lennox: After move 44 black has a position Spassky was fond of - pieces instead of pawns protecting the king. 46 Re8 avoids the threat...Bd4+. The exchange of two rooks for queen gives black an endgame advantage.

  IMlday: 41.Nf3??. In time pressure he forgot to play his idea of 41.Ne6 first, and instead blundered a piece. The opening was spectacularly insipidly played by me, and well by him, except his clock handling was horrible. In that period Walter Browne was a bad example for young Americans since playing ten moves in a minute is unnecessarily risky in a good position.

  IMlday: This game turned around totally. I was just trying to stay on the board, make the technical task as difficult as possible. Then at move 41 the young future GM pooched horribly. Time control at that Lone Pine event was move 45. His clock management was horrible, unnecessary massive tanking considering that the position was winning easily. I got the point, but he got the major lesson.
