  Checkmate123: Right, 28. Qxe5. I guess Poulsen didn't see it.

  tpstar: Dudes, you really think the mighty Najdorf would blunder a piece?? Try 27 ... Nc5 instead, hitting the Rb3 & Pe4, then 28. Re3 makes sense, and the position corrects after 32 ... Nxd3+.
Jun-02-04  Rowson: Good call Tpstar i was wondering about Ne5 but i think your right the score must be wrong. Nc5 being the actual move.

  aw1988: <tpstar> Even Najdorf was trying the mighty Zapata method.
Aug-23-06  Tenderfoot: He definitely did play en passant just to be cool. That's pretty much why that move is around, castling being passe and everything.

  The Famous Chess Cat: From moves 50-60, what was up with all the king moves? Why was the opposition so important? My noobishness fails to comprehend it all!
May-27-10  Edwin M: According to Toga my choice of 55...Bb5 was inferior while in fact the original move is inferior if Black wants to win. According to Rybka 55...Ke6 draws. My choice keeps Black's initiative alive. Best is 55...Bxh5.
