  OhioChessFan: Fritz thinks 24...Rxf5 is a 3 pawn blunder <Bh5>

Jul-02-09  biglo: I don't know if it was blitz, a simul or blindfold. Some of these early computer GM games were.
Feb-06-23  rwbean: Google Books search says "five-minute game" and confirms White is CHESS 4.7.

Chess Life - Volume 47, Issues 1-6 - Page 8

Let's mindshare by examining
The Byter Bit BY GM ANDY SOLTIS

W : Chess 4.7
B : GM Lev Alburt
Five - minute game , Chicago 1979

Feb-07-23  rwbean: 24... ♗h5! followed by ... ♖xf5 and the White ♘ on f3 is toast.

Or 26... ♗xe3. So 26.... ♗f4?? threw away that huge advantage.

Dec-04-24  rwbean: I can see a bit more in the Google Books snippet, it has "12. P-N4!? ... 13 ... N-R4? 14. Q-N5!"

As so often happens 13... Na5 is SF's only move (-0.36, 41 ply)
