Kibitzer's Corner
Nov-03-05  ughaibu: It's interesting to compare the early part of this game with Topalov vs Leko, 2005
Nov-03-05  Runemaster: After 41...Kf6 Geller only needed a little shuffle of his rooks to bring about a winning K+P endgame. 41...Kf8 was necessary; I can't see an immediate win for White then.
