Jan-11-14  zydeco: 27.Re6! and 27....Qxe6 28.Bxd4+ Kxh6 29.Qh4#

If 25....Kg7 26.Qg4.

Mar-12-19  PJs Studio: What’s fascinating is Najdorf had to see 27. Re6 quite few moves earlier because without this resource, white’s busted.
Jun-23-22  cehertan: I certainly would have preferred black after 21..Bg7 but the infernal engine likes white.

  Honza Cervenka: After 22...Bxb2 23.Qxb2 h5 black seems to be fine. 22...Bd4 was too much optimistic.

  GrahamClayton: In the final position Kramer can't move either his rook or bishop - why can't he mark time with Kg7/Kh7 ?
Mar-29-25  Retireborn: <Graham> Kramer actually lost on time, according Chessbase, but t0 38...Kg7 the simplest seems to be 39.a6 bxa6 40.Qc7+ Kf8 41.f5 and the Bc6 is lost.
