Another possible case of Historical Wrong Rook, affecting nothing more important than the historical record.

"American Chess Bulletin", June 1904, p.6 gives <22...Red8> and <24...Rbd8>. Perhaps this move order makes a little more sense than the one given here, since it repositions the lest active rook first, but I'd feel better about sending in a correction if more sources were available.

Here, as in the game. (White to play)

24.Rd1 is a playable move, the Knight of f5 starts to look like it was part of an exchange sac idea with a pair of Rooks coming off the board.

But if it was 22....Red8 23.Bxc5 Rd7

Then 24.Rd1 meets 24...Rxb2!

  Phony Benoni: <Sally Simpson> I thought something like that in the air; the rok on b8 is a good piece.

I've solved the mystery. The real moves were (or should have been anyway) 22...Bd6 23. Rd1 Bf8 24. Qd2 Rb4.
