Jan-04-07		Whitehat1963: Wow! What a phenomenal endgame. This entire game is great for study. I'm very surprised no one has commented on this game yet! It's a model of precision and control.

Jan-05-07		Hafen Slawkenbergius: It takes two to create a brilliancy, and Filip fought valiantly and tenaciously. An incredible game, one of Smyslov's very best IMHO.

Jan-05-07		Honza Cervenka: Brilliant game and great Smyslov's revenge for Filip vs Smyslov, 1957, which the first defeat of Smyslov after he had become the World Champion and also one of finest Filip's games.

Jan-01-08		Whitehat1963: This is the kind of game that I absolutely suck at. Yeah, yeah ... "at which I absolutely suck." (ending sentences with prepositions and all that nonsense up with which I shall not put).

Feb-07-09		paladin at large: This is a remarkable endgame by Smyslov - surprising there is so little comment. I wonder at what point(s) Filip might have saved it.

Feb-07-09		euripides: Absolutely wonderful game.

Feb-07-09		whiteshark: <paladin at large: <I wonder at what point(s) Filip might have saved it.>> <97...Kf5> could be a good start for a last attempt to save the game. click for larger view
