| InspiredByMorphy: Its too bad Bogart didn't play 22.Bc6 ... <Sneaky> Nice analysis! There definitely was a draw there. |

| clocked: 22...Bc6? hangs the rook |

| jfc: I believe Humphrey Bogart was at least an Expert level player. Is there any way to confirm that? |

| SnoopDogg: One of these guys were blindfolded. I forget which one. It would make sense for Koltanowski to be blindfolded, yet I remember Seirawan's annotations stating the same line Sneaky gave saying he missed this because he was blindfolded or something. |

| kevin86: A little more excitement would occur if the game was played out 41... h6 42 b8= #.Bogie must have felt the same way that Sam Spade did when he was robbed by Mr.Cairo twice in the same scene. |

| al wazir: 26...Re2 would also have drawn: 27. Qb8+ Re8 28. Qc7 Re2, etc. If instead 27. Rf2, then 27...Re1+, etc.; if 27. Kh1, then 27... Bxg2+ 28. Kg8 Bxf1 29. Kxf1 Rxb2. |

| somitra: Bogart is the man with only 4 games in the database and this is the third time his game has become GOTD. Now only one remains, and that's also worth being one. Interesting end to that game. Check : P Limbos vs Bogart, 1951 |

| Chessmensch: Would there have been any merit for white to push the f-pawn sooner to penetrate black's kingside? I saw it coming for a long time before it finally happened. |

| wanabe2000: George Koltanowski played many blindfold exhibits and wrote a chess column for the San Francisco Chronicle for many years. |

| fm avari viraf: It was an easy draw as pointed by <sneaky> but sometimes we miss such little combinations due one reason or another. |

| sfm: Bogart may be the best "celebrity player" ever. |

 |
| Gypsy: Andrei Sakharov, Sergei Prokofiev, Marcel Duchamp, and Victor Dyk, ... probably also deserve consideration. |

| Geronimo: ...not to mention Ray Charles, who may also have been expert level. |

| Jim Bartle: I believe Che Guevara was a good player, if he counts as a celebrity. Also former ( or current?) Czech president Vaclav Havel. |

| goldenbear: I've read that Aleister Crowley used to play blind simultaneous games. If that is true, he has to be the greatest celebrity chess player ever. Sadly, we have none of his games here on this site. |

| Sneaky: After the game, Kolty said "So much for the French Defense!", and Bogart replied, "We'll always have Paris." :-) |

| chancho: <Sneaky> And Kolty replied: Here's lookin at you, kid! |
|

| Jim Bartle: Afterward Bogart couldn't remember the moves, so he asked Koltanowski, "Play it again." |
