Apr-30-04  AdrianP: 27. Re8+! was a nice shot... easy to miss.
Apr-12-05  aw1988: Check out the shifting attack!
Apr-12-05  RookFile: Reshevsky was very strong in the
NimzoIndian, on either side of the
board. He beat an awful lot of famous
names with his familiarity in the Nimzo.

Indeed. And his games with Najdorf are particularly interesting.

Jun-24-23  Saniyat24: 27.Re8+ ooh laa laa...!
Jul-23-24  tbontb: 27.Re8+ was pretty but even after 26....Nc7 27.Qxd7 Rxd7 28.b5 there is no good defence. In fact, White has a significant advantage after 15.b4 as the Q-side majority is always very strong. Later games improved with 14....a4, restraining the pawns.

  GrahamClayton: Very instructive how Reshevsky makes threats on both sides of the board - Najdorf is unable to defend against those threats simultaneously.
