May-09-20		PawnSac: Apparently white feared the king side pawn storm. Although black is a strong GM and does have a menacing threat, I would not resign so prematurely. If one wants to play real fighting chess, then one must be prepared to draw on every resource of the imagination, and dig in your heals, requiring the opponent to prove himself. You never know. Sometimes tenacity prevails, and tables can be turned later in the game!

May-09-20		Gejewe: <PawnSac> A bit strange, another source (Chessbase) continues the game with 11..g5 12.Bg3 f5 0-1 In that final position it is not clear of Black has something after let's say 13.0-0-0!?. The starting point of a fight, not a position to resign. It happens more often that old games are incomplete because the score was undecipherable from a certain point on. Veltmander was a strong player in his own right so we can be fairly sure this score is incomplete. By the way, formally Nezhmetdinov was not a grandmaster. Though he was a hardliner in the communist way of thinking, he did not play abroad very often. And in those days, the national grandmaster title was even more difficult to get, and reserved to a happy few. Of course he had more than the strength, which is shown by his multiple victories in the championship of the Russian federation, and his fantastic wins against Tal :-)

Dec-10-21		jessicafischerqueen: <Gejewe>, <PawnSac> I have updated the game score now, from rusbase- which gives the same score as Chessbase, but includes a crucial piece of information that clears up some of the mystery. The notation "..." is given after the last move in the rusbase score, which means the game featured more moves that were not recorded. So nobody knows how many more moves were played, just that more moves were played and Nezhmetdinov won the game. The final position remains unknown.
