Dec-05-03		raylopez99: A blunder in a losing position. Funny how a stronger player (Larsen probably was stronger at this age, though it's hard to tell) can make you do that.

Mar-04-09		TheTamale: Point of interest: White's Nf3 was deferred until move 20 in a King's Gambit. Fun ending; at first glance White's position doesn't look so crushing, but when you play through it Black doesn't have any redeeming options.
