  NM JRousselle: I love the position after White's 43rd move--he has 2 connected protected passed knights!
Jan-11-23  tbontb: Sober analysis suggests Gunsberg actually defended well against the Evans gambit to reach a theoretically advantageous position. However, the blunder 29....c5 threw it all away in one move and Chigorin gratefully seized his opportunity.
