  keypusher: or 68....h1/N+ 69. Kf3 and mate next.

58. h4 was indeed fantastic. After 58. Kc5 Kg2 59. Kd6 Kxh2 60. Kxe6 h5 61. Kf5 h4 62. e6 h3 63. e7 h2 64. e8/Q h1/Q it's a draw.

Coming out of the opening, Zytogorski won the weak c5-pawn in a proto-Nimzoindian formation, a la Staunton vs Bristol, 1841 and Staunton vs E Williams, 1851
