Kibitzer's Corner
May-28-04  talchess2003: all of a sudden fischer effected a deluge of piece activity.. 28. Ke7 was not very good.. but black's position looks lost anyways
Mar-18-06  zev22407: The black king find himself in the mercy of white's pieces
Apr-29-07  e4Newman: at move 34, I first saw the nice discovered check Rc4. Is the eventual ...Re1+ and ...fxg2 the only thing stopping it?
Apr-29-07  e4Newman: I was a little off, it's not as dramatic as I thought. No immediate pawn promotion for black. But how about

34.Rc4+ Rxe3 35.Rxc8 Re1+ 36.Kh2 Kh4 37.g3+ Kxh5

and I don't see much advantage for white any more

Dec-28-07  apexin: after this game variation with 9..Bd6 was considered refuted.
Apr-05-09  apexin: Why this was never a GOTD?
It is an excellent,excellent,excellent
preparation without computers only books and a great tactical struggle also.
May-09-11  Atking: What is the idea after 14...fxB? 15.f4!? else 15.exB exf2+ 16.Kxf2 O-O+ looks Ok for Black.
