  LIFE Master AJ: I posted the game (on my web site) yesterday.
Sep-10-05  TheSlid: I think I may have been the first visitor on the said page (the green number at the bottom told me so). I thought the game a bit dry on first sight. As is so often the case with Korchnoi, the struggle for the initiative proves more profound than meets the eye of the Slid : )

  LIFE Master AJ: <TheSlid> Thanks. (I think.)

As for dry ...
Speaking as a master, this game led to a lot of so-called "simple" positions, i.e., those that don't have a lot of material left on the board. Normally I can assess these relatively quickly and accurately, especially when I have the help of Fritz. (Here - that was NOT the case!)

I also spent about three weeks analyzing this game ... the page took three or four days to format. (Format = make it look neat.)
