Jul-23-04		Keshishian: Nunn calls this game "one very important theoretical battle." Geller's 11th move was a novelty at the time, I believe. Excellent sacrafice obtaining the initiative (and a few pawns) for his knight.

Jun-10-06		KingG: An important game that showed the best way of countering the immediate 6.c5.
