Oct-23-12 C B Van den Berg vs J H Donner, 1963 
| |
|
Swedish Logician: It is nice to see Donner beating Van den Berg for a change. Donner lost two famous and almost identical Scicilian Najdorf games to Van den Berg:
C B Van den Berg vs J H Donner, 1965 and another one in 14 moves a decade earlier. Here Rxf1+ and Bxg2+ should do the trick, ...
