| Calculoso: Wow, this is a great game. I'm surprised there have not been more comments. The final couple of moves are full of complications and intricacies. Very nice. |

| kostich in time: It was either Tartakover or Marco who called this game a "duel with rapiers at the edge of precipice".Duras and Spielmann pack a lot of drama into this game. |

| Gypsy: "Ceskoslovensky Sach", 1965 published a note by Ms. Inna Vesela with an alternative way to finish the game -- 21.Nd5+! cxd6 22.Qa6+ Kd7 23.Qb7+ Ke6 24.Nc5+! dxc5 25.Qxc6+ Ke7 26.Bxc5+, and mate next. |

| Ulhumbrus: After 36 Rd8+ the black King cannot take the Rook because then the King walks into the fork Nb7+, and the black Rook cannot take the Rook , as that unpins the White QB and so frees the White QB to take the black Queen. |
