  Chessical: Or on very similar lines:

22.Kc2 Qh2 23.Bf4 Rf7 24.Re1 Nf3 25.Nxf3 Bxf3 26.Kb3 Bxe4 27.Bd3 Qxg2 28.Bxe4 Rxe4 29.Qd4!! (a beautiful move exploiting Blacks' back rank weakness)Rexf4 30.Qxf4 with a good game

Dec-05-03  Calli: <Chessical> Looks good! Thank you very much. The White team seems to have gotten the wrong order of moves. They can't protect g3 in the game because 23.Bf4? Nf3+ wins. I wonder in what language Steinitz and Chigorin argued about game? :-)
Dec-05-03  mack: Sorry, I don't get this. Why did white resign?
Dec-05-03  Catfriend: Why not?!
54.K:Re3 Kb6 55.Kf4 Ka5 56.Kg5 K:a4 winning the game
Dec-05-03  mack: whoops now, I was a bit preoccupied with the h-pawn
Apr-19-04  Kenkaku: Chigorin/Steinitz (having a flashback to his early days) play all out romantic chess here, while the Pillsbury/Lasker team play precisely, converting the gambits of the former into a win.
Apr-19-04  Giancarlo: Wow! What a match up! You know what would have ben cool?

Tal/Spassky VS Fischer/Botvinnik!!

Tell me how awesome that would've been! World Champs V World Champs! Holy Crap!

  tamar: It looks like Pillsbury/Lasker have about 6 rooks in this game. They just keep doubling on adjacent files between moves 26 and 36. Kind of like the Wave at ballgames.

  Honza Cervenka: 29.Be2 was a mistake, which lost the game. 29.Bd3 would have been much better, and if 29...Re5, then 30.Re3! Qf2 31.Rf3 Rxe4 32.Rxf2 Rxf2 33.Bxe4 etc.
