| mckmac: So this must be the famous "unsound" opening that Nigel Short sprung on Karpov. |

| al wazir: If 28...gxf5, then 29. Qg5+. 29. g4 Qh4 30. Rh3 wins the  , but the move white played, 29. Bg4, was better. |

I think it just refers to the phrase 'fact or fiction?' |

| psmith: <Swyp> After 26...Kh8 White can draw with 27. g4 Qxg4+ 28. Rg3 Qh4 29. Rh3 Qg4+ 30. Rg3 etc. If Black deviates with 28... Qe7, then White wins with 29. f6 Qxe5 30. Rxh7+ Kxh7 31. Qh3+ leading to mate. But for all that the move played 26... dxe5 may be better. Because it is not at all clear to me that White is winning after 27. f6. Black's 27...c3 looks like panic -- there are several other possibly better moves for Black here. How does White play against 27... Bd7, preventing 28. Bf5, for example? |

| ianD: I can recommned you play through more games by Mr. Factor. He has some amazing games in his shoert collection in this database.: Reshevsky vs Factor, 1917
Factor vs Reti, 1919
Edward Lasker vs Factor, 1922
Factor vs I A Horowitz, 1928
And my favorite:
Factor vs Reshevsky, 1924 |

| Resignation Trap: <ianD> Factor also played an important role in Reshevsky's later career. In the 1936 US Championship Tournament, Factor defeated Reshevsky's main rival in this game: A Simonson vs Factor, 1936 . For more information about this round, see my note on Albert C Simonson . |

| kevin86: White's winning move was neat:lure black's quuens away while preparing to zoom yours down. Plenty of FACTOR puns possible:
prime factor/Max Factor/clotting factor/etc |

| Resignation Trap: <kevin86> Max Factor really was Samuel Factor's brother! <Calli> I really don't know, as I am unfamiliar with Gustav Simonson. |
