May-31-04		Bobsterman3000: This is one heck of a finish by Larsen.

May-31-04		Benzol: I don't think white can do anything about the threat of 42...5c2.

Feb-15-07		Articcircle: Very intresting game, but I think 40.Qd8? was bad move. 40.Qd7! or 40.Qe6! are much better. White has good drawing chances.

Feb-16-07		Articcircle: According to Larsen, 31...Kg4! was much better.

Nov-24-07		computer chess guy: White missed 33. h8!, which is completely winning. The immediate threat is h4+, a check for which the only answer is xh4. But giving up material can only postpone mate, not avoid it: White in fact has a forced mate in all variations after h8.

Mar-21-08		offramp: 36...Qg4 is an amazing move - even though the only alternative is to resign.

Mar-21-08		moronovich: A much more dangerous joney by Larsens king , than the famouse one of Short against Timman. Kudos to Larsen and an old dream of his come true.

Jul-26-08		ravel5184: Now this is real chess!

May-15-09		Kinghunt: I think white can draw with 40. Qe6!

May-26-09		MikedaSnipe: First I went "What's with the crazy opening?" Then I went "Oh it's bent larsen."
