C Hertan vs Reshevsky, 1982
Granny O Doul: Also, you must have meant Sammy tied for third in the US Championship rather than the Open. The three-way was among him, Christiansen, and Kavalek.

Botvinnik vs Bronstein, 1967
FM David H. Levin: <Everett: Bronstein missed 27..Nb7 rerouting to c5 with total command of the position.> Perhaps he felt that after 27...Nb7, the reply 28.Ng4 would give White reasonable play after 28...Qg7 29.e5 or 28...Qxe4 29.Nxh6.
