  GrahamClayton: Reithel had apparently played a correspondence game with Fischer back in 1955, as part of Fischer's short-lived CC career.

  NM JRousselle: 18 Ne6 is an error.

18 b4! ends the game quickly.

If Black retreats the bishop, Ne6 wins. If Black captures on d4, cd wins.

  Benzol: I'd be interested in seeing the Fischer - Reithel game that <TheFocus> mentioned in the kibitzing on the A W Conger vs Fischer, 1955 game.
