Kibitzer's Corner
Apr-05-05  ksadler: Some solid endgame play by Tarrasch, but 60. Kd3?? really hurt Caro by giving Black's king more control over the board.
Apr-24-05  Karpova: do you think 60.kd5 kb4 would have been better?
Dec-15-05  JG7: I think black is lost no matter what he does at move 60.
Mar-07-08  mindkontrolle: brilliant
