Feb-15-07 Geller vs Euwe, 1953 
| |
| matrix: Still one of my all time favorite games. Amazing how what took over a week of analysis to find in defense (according to Bronstein), my Fritz 9 finds in nearly no time. Just another indication of how much impact computers have (not that one would get to the position after23. ...Rc2 |
