Aug-28-23 W Liu vs J H Donner, 1978
| |
| brimarern: To think that there are two mates at the end:
(a) 21.Bxf8+ Qh4 22.Rxh4# or the snappier

| |
| brimarern: Pretty game! That being said, it seemed as if black had to scramble for counterplay especially after 17.Nb1. I'm sure GM Levenfish saw that knight eventually winding up on d6, and with all his skill, might, and tenacity fought back. Black's g5 and d3 moves are impressive! Did ... |
