Jan-05-02		bishop: Its hard to believe that Reuben Fine handled the White pieces! 8 Bxe4 was defenitly bad. Normally Fine would have seen 9...nxf2! in a speed game.

Jul-28-04		patzer2: Fine's 9. Rxg7? looks like an error, well punished by Dake's 9...Nxf2!! reply.

Jul-29-04		Calli: The explanation is simple. Fine was 16 years old at the time of this game. He was not yet the great Rueben.
