Oct-20-05  woodenbishop: Interesting end game... though I think this game has more historical value (especially for American chess) than it does scholastic value.
Apr-20-07  themadhair: Penalized for 5.e3?? Ouch!

  Phony Benoni: Black has multiple opportunities to eliminate White's heroic g-pawn, but refuses them all with a sneer. "I'll attend to you later!"

Later comes far too soon.

Apr-08-21  RookFile: Reshevsky was trying to murk this game up from the beginning. Of course, a world class player like Fine can calculate too.
