Apr-11-07 | | erad1288: so is the win after 32...Ne5+ 33. any Nxd7 followed by Kxb2 and Kxa3? |
|
Apr-12-07 | | Avarus: <erad1288> Seems so, as 33.Kxd4?? drops a piece via ..Nxd7, ..Rd8 and ..Be6. |

Apr-12-07 | | Jack Kerouac: Walter Browne said at the height of his powers, when he was winning U.S. Championships in the 70's :"Fischer is the God of American Chess, but I am the Devil". |
|
Apr-13-07 | | Eyal: Instead of 25.a3+, White had more chances to save the game with 25.Ne2
(e.g., 25...Rd8 26.Kd3 Bxa2 27.Nxd4). |
|
Feb-15-08 | | paladin at large: A marvelous example of a King leading his troops. |
|
Aug-26-14 | | cunctatorg: This game is a real gem, a true positional masterpiece!! |
|
Aug-26-14 | | Howard: Good game, no doubt, but also a contributing factor in Browne's disastrous result in the interzonal. He finished dead-last---still remember how surprised I was reading about it in the NYT, in 1982. |
|

 | | perfidious: Neither did Browne cover himself with glory in 1976, at his first attempt, though he 'only' finished minus in that event. |
|
Sep-07-14 | | Mating Net: An under rated masterpiece. Smyslov moves his King 7 times and his King's Rook stayed at home, wow! |
|
Feb-19-15 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: What's more likely among:
Part of the score was lost?
Browne resigned after moving?
Browne's flag dropped as he moved?
That's really a question about how game scores work on this site. But I also recall Browne as having time trouble issues. |

 | | beatgiant: <Cheapo by the Dozen>
My guess is Browne resigned after moving. It looks like a quick win for Black after 32...Ne5+, at least. |
|

 | | offramp: I wonder if Browne spent some time looking for checkmates that weren't there? |
|
Aug-13-15 | | dusk: Pun suggestion: "Take a walk on the white side" as of in Lou Reed's song. |

 | | profK: Smyslov defiantly puts his king into potential mating net and defies Shawn to find the mate...I couldn't be that brave... |
|
Jun-17-22 | | Atking: Not sure that 10...Be6 is the best. 10...a4 immediatly or more prosaically 10...0-0 are good alternatives. Latter 15.RxN rxN 16.RxB fxR 17.Nf7+ Ke7 18.NxR Rxb2+ 19.Kd3 Rxa2 20.Bf3 for g4-g5 eventually g6 (Else on g6 from Black h4-h5) should be tested. If it doesnt work then 16.Rc2. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Mind-blowing--Smyslov never moved his Rh8, in effect giving White Rook odds! And he still stifled all of Browne's forces with just a King, Knight and Bishop. Yes, Smyslov ranks among the finest endgame players ever, but this is ridiculous. |
|
Jun-17-22
 | | HeMateMe: I don't think white should have exchanged minor pieces on the c file early in the game. It allowed the black king to penetrate. |
|
Jun-17-22 | | Granny O Doul: If Browne can't get past Smyslov at their respective ages, I think it's time we turned our eyes to the younger generation. |
|
Jun-17-22 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Always a pleasure to see a Browne loss. |
|
Jun-17-22 | | nalinw: Great game and pun - and Smyslov was 61!!!! |
|
Jun-17-22
 | | HeMateMe: I think Sammy Reshevsky was 69 when he placed third in the USA championship, giving him a playoff to represent the USA in zonal play. That was in...the early 1980s? |
|
Jun-17-22
 | | perfidious: Correct; the playoff was held in Jacksonville in September 1981, with Christiansen advancing due to superior tiebreaks, over Reshevsky and Kavalek. |
|
Jun-17-22
 | | Fusilli: Beautiful game and apt pun by <paavoh>. The black king's walk is wild indeed. |
|
Jun-17-22
 | | ChessHigherCat: That's what Browne gets for setting Vasily's missle off! |
