Mar-09-05  lopium: I don't know if 27th move for white was a blunder or anyway the bishop was impossible to save...
Mar-09-05  Everett: I'm guessing after 28.Ne7+ Kh8 29.Rxd7 Qh3 30.Qd1 f3 31.Qf1 Qxd7
Mar-13-05  lopium: 31.Qf1? But there the bishop on c4. no?
Apr-02-22  cehertan: Wow. He pretty much destroyed the great Najdorf as black. At his best I believe Fine was as strong as anyone post-war. No telling how good he could have been if he fully devoted himself to chess.
