Aug-04-20 Fischer vs Stein, 1967 
| |
| Howard: Mueller's book on Fischer's games gives several improvements that Fischer apparently had missed. Most of them were found by a Charles Sullivan, who's made a name for himself analyzing well-known games on his computer. |

Aug-01-20 Timman vs L Day, 1976
| |
| Howard: CL&R called attention to this game by running the moves (without notes) even though it was "only" a draw. The game took place near the end of the
Olympiad when the Dutch team was challenging the Americans for first place. |
