Aug-27-08  chocobonbon: I'm not strong on the endings myself but I think Zukertort looks a bit too much like me here.

  tamar: Steinitz looks shaky as well.

49 Kh2? Rb6
50 Kh3 Kf5? (50...Rh6 would win, freeing the King to cross)

Jan-13-11  Llawdogg: 20 ... Bxf2+! from Steinitz totally stops Zukertort's attack, leaves black up a pawn, and leads to a won endgame after some fun tactics. Good game.
