Jan-15-06		woodenbishop: At first glance, Reshevsky's play looks like madness. Fine must've been scratching his head after this one... awesome game!!

Oct-17-07		achieve: Good game by both players. But after 29...Re7 (?) - Reshevsky doesn't hesitate and executes immediately!

May-26-12		Rama: But why 11 ... bxc5? After dxc5 the open file will lead to exchange of heavy pieces, Bishops will naturally go, and it is a draw by symmetry isn't it? Instead Sammy works on the d6-weakness then goes strategic with f4-f5. This is actually a decisive attack on the central white squares finally complete with 28. Rxf5 and then 33. Nd5, a move for which there is no answer. Great game!

Jul-18-12		shivasuri4: <Rama>, nothing wrong with 11...bxc5, per se. Black should perhaps have continued the centralisation with 12...d5, rather than play Nc6.
