  chancho: 25...hxg6 was fatal for Fuster.
Jan-27-15  RookFile: 26. Bb6 is a neat little move. Just like that, the game is over.
Aug-05-16  zydeco: These two had a painful history, as detailed in Benko's autobiography. They tried to defect together. Fuster succeeded while Benko spent the next two years in a Hungarian prison. This game must have been sweet revenge for him.
May-21-18  Howard: Didn't know that Benko actually did time in prison !
Nov-30-20  fenixmil: i am learning...but i don't understand why the last movement was: 26.Bb61-0

the king is not in: check or checkmate, you can continue playing withouth queen

Nov-30-20  phantasmagorium: <fenixmil> at GM level, I guess it is too rare for a player to not win with the kind of material advantage white is about to get: threat of Qh6 mate forced black to let the Queen exchanged for a minor piece.
