Feb-20-05		DrDave: I have a source which says (1) The game was played in 1950 and (2) Black's 28th was ...Na4. Can anyone adjudicate?

Feb-20-05		sneaky pete: <DrDave> Your source must be Kotov and Yudovich, The Soviet School of Chess. (1) 1950 is wrong and (2) 28... Na4! as given by Kotov must be right. 28... Nc4 29.Bd2 .. makes no sense. The first interzonal tournament was Saltsjöbaden, 1948 (Averbakh didn't play), the next Stockholm, 1952, where both Gligoric and Averbakh qualified for the 1953 candidates tournament.
