Jul-25-09		Helios727: Sammy walloped Larry good here.

Apr-01-12		Ulhumbrus: White's thirty-third and thirty-fourth moves provide a snapshot of a part of the art of dismantling a defence. The move 33 Rh6 skewers black's queen on g6 to black's bishop on f6 and after 33...Qd3 34 Bxe8 removes black's knight on e8 which defends a second time black's bishop on f6.

May-19-12		Cibator: According to Reshevsky (in his "How Chess Games Are Won"), Black was totally busted as early as move 11 or 12.

Feb-16-13		jerseybob: For better or worse, Evans should've tried 15..f5. After 15..f6?! 16.f5! forget about it.

Feb-16-13		RookFile: You're right, I believe. I can understand Evans' thinking. There is a theory of chess that relies upon holding the e5 square as a strong point. Evans may have thought he could get around to playing something like Nd7 and Ne5, and maybe he is ok. Ironically, even though he built up his forces to try to prevent e5 from white, Reshevsky ended up playing the move anyway.

Feb-16-13		jerseybob: Yes, ironic isn't it.

Feb-16-13		JohnTal: Physics 101:F = MA. A relentless & dominating performance from Sammy. Ruthlessly logical - from move 13 forward, Sammy progressively flattens Evans against the wall. Every piece contributes to the romp!

Feb-16-13		jerseybob: And if this database is to be believed - always a big if! - this was their first official meeting. Kinda sets the tone for the next 3 decades.
