| The Analyst: 18 Rxe6!! is amazing! However, earlier on 15...Rd8 would have forced a perpetual: 16 Re1 (16 Qg4+ Kf7 17 Qg7+ Ke8 18 Qxh8+ Kd7 19 Qxh7 Qc6) 16...Bd5 17 Qg4+ Kf7 18 Qh5+ Kg8 19 Qg4+. |

| aw1988: Wow. Wow. And again wow. I'm willing to bet this is a game that Najdorf may call his "best for 10 years". |

| ArturoRivera: as Tarrash would undoubtely say: "see, thats what happens after a so insipid and bad opening, the game went wrong since 3.-...dxe4??, that was the key mistake" :) |

| Marco65: What if 15...Qc6? For instance 16.Qg4+ Kf7 17.d5 Qc5 18.dxe6+ Ke8 19.Rd1 Rd8 can't Black hold this position? |

| BraveKnight06: Marco... instead of 17.d5, 17.Qg7+ since the knight is pinned will make white more than winning. |

| syracrophy: Check out how after 10. xf7!!  g8? doesn't works, because of 11.xd8 xg2+ 12. h1 xf2+ 13.xb7. When I checked this, I thought Black's best reply was 10...g8, starting a combination just as in Carlos Torre vs Lasker, 1925, but I missed that the  of b7 can be captured by the White of d8. What a beaut! |

| FSR: Click on Black's name. The guy has five games in the database. In four he gets tactically annihilated. In the fifth Marshall was in the process of tactically annihilating him (in a simul, one of the last games of Marshall's life), but blundered his queen. |

| Phony Benoni: We may need a bit of research here. In <The Fireside Book of Chess> by Chernev and Reinfeld, this game is given as Najdorf - Sapiro, Lodz, 1929. The book was originally published in 1949, so it could conceivably have included a game from 1948. And C&R have been criticized for lack of historical accuracy on occasion. But 20 years off seems to be pushing it a bit. |

| JohnTal: If this is ever Game of the Day, my caption: "The Doctor got Zapped!" Why wouldn't Black simply play 9 .. Nf6, instead of trying to mix it up with Najdorf? |
