Sep-03-04  wall: Can White play 23.Rxb4 and win a pawn instead of 23.Re4 as in the game?

Perpetual check after 28...Kxf7 29.Qg6+ Kf8 30.Qxh6+ Kf7 31.Qg6+ Kf8.

  lostemperor: Seidman would have won with 15. Rhe1! against young Bobby Fischer. No further comment needed IMO. Now the piece sacrifice on move 17 was not good enough.
Sep-22-04  clocked: <lostemperor> yes, Rhe1 is very strong because black is compelled to make the same moves... 15.e5 would have been interesting
