Kibitzer's Corner
Jan-17-04  InspiredByMorphy: Black played very well despite his loss.
He should have won. Blacks move 26.Bd8 is the losing move, but white doesent see it. White makes three useless knight moves before making the same combination which was possible 5 moves earlier! Black should have played 26.Rcf8 27.Rf2 Qc8 Max does play well though, finding each combination he needed to win.
