  Pawn and Two: Horowitz concluded this game with a brilliant combination. After 21...Re8?, he announced mate in seven, beginning with 22.Qg5!.

On his 21st move, Fritz indicates Kevitz should have played: (.14) (20 ply) 21...Qf6 22.Re2 h5 23.Qe1 g6. If White plays 22.Rg4 or 22.Re5, then 22...g6, and the game is about equal.

Black could also have played: (.30) (20 ply) 21...Nc4 22.Rg4 g6 23.Qh6 Qf6 24.Rh4 Qh8, with just a slight edge for White.

  Shams: The mate in seven must be 22...g6 23.Qh6 gxf5 (forced) 24. Rg4+ fxg4 and now, with the g-pawn out of the way, the white queen on h6 and the black king on g8, and the f7 pawn unprotected, Bxf7+, Bg6 and Qh7-f7 mates in four.
