Aug-07-06		rjsolcruz: This win says much of Torre, winning over former World Champion Tal in an Inter-Zonal.

Nov-10-06		JohnNash: If Tal Checked Torre with 65 Rh8+ and took and rook, do someone think that this could have been a draw??? Any opinions??

Nov-10-06		paulalbert: < John Nash > Definitely not, but it's an instructive illustration of the technique of winning K+P vs.K. After exchange of Rooks on h3 and KxP(h3) black K gets in front of his f pawn by going K-f4 Then e.g. Kg2.. Ke3, Kf1 Kf3 Black takes opposition and wins in textbook manner. Paul Albert

Nov-12-08		veerar: Good game by Torre,but 25.d4,followed by Rc2,seems to hold.

Jan-28-09		zanza: 65 Rh8+ is tricky, but still hopeless for White: 65... Kg5; 66 Rxh3 gxh3+; 67 Kxh3 Kf4! 68 Kg2 Ke3! ad Black promotes.
