  FSR: This was our second tournament game. The first was in July 1976 in Chicago, shortly before my 16th birthday. Wayne won that one. It was high time to exact revenge.

The computer points out a quicker win with 29...Rxf3! 30.Qxf3 Bb7 31.Qd3 (for example) Qc6 with a crushing attack. But I still finished off in style.

Y'all had a long wait to exact retribution.
