| popski: Is there any better line for black after 14.  f5? |

| tomh72000: 17...xf6, returning the piece, may be better, e.g. 18.gxf6  xf6, but perhaps stronger for white is 18.b6!, where black's best is probably the queen sacrifice 18...xd5!? 19.xd8 xd8 20. xd5 20...b7. The compensation is probably not enough though. |

| Albertan: If Sofrevski had played:
18... Re8
He would have run into:
19. gxf6 Bxf6 20. Rhg1+ Bg5+ 21. Qd2 h6 22. f4 f6 23. fxg5 fxg5 24. Qd3 Re6 25.Rgf1 Ne5 26.Bxe5 dxe5 27.Nf6+!  |

| Stonehenge: 16...0-0 is a mistake, better ...Bb7 to attack the knight. |

| dx9293: Velimirovic games are always enjoyable! He wasn't a "legendary" player, but he created many, many beautiful games (like this one) that will live forever. |

| RandomVisitor: 16...Bb7 17.Rhe1 Bxd5 18.Rxd5 0-0 19.f6 Bxf6 20.gxf6 Nxf6 and white is down a pawn and has a diminished attack. |

| RandomVisitor: 18.gxf6 Bxf6 19.Nxf6+ Qxf6 20.f4! might win faster |

I saw this game in Byrne's New York Times column as a kid. Made a major impression on me. |

| Eisenheim: he always had a sacrifical approach to dismantling the sicilian. its just eerie that his name is the same as the attack he used. |

You are aware that My Generation was released in 1965, same year as this game. |

| Eduardo Leon: I think the mistake was 10...a5. (Yeah, a single tempo loss can be your damnation in the Sicilian.) The standard variation is, <as far as I remember>, 10...0-0 11.g4 d7 12. g5 b5. |
