Oct-02-06  AlexandraThess: One of my favourite games!
Oct-07-16  cpalape: Quizás con movida 50 Tb2 ,el final sería más simple.
Oct-12-21  jphamlore: Ken Neat's translation of Smyslov's annotations for this game can be found both in the books Smyslov's Best Games Volume II and Vasily Smyslov: Endgame Virtuoso.

Smyslov's finish of this game illustrates an astonishing number of the principles of endgame strategy.
