Jul-02-07  zev22407: Interesting game,A model attack on the king's castle.
Aug-30-16  NoraNora: Wonderful Euwe's game!
May-22-21  SymphonicKnight: A very challenging game that is hard to follow accurately. Kasparov annotated this game in My Great Predecessors V.2, but the game is a mess, even (or perhaps especially) by computer standards. Kasparov misses a lot, and this game is certainly worthwhile to play over slowly with great focus, guessing the moves first.
