Apr-18-03  Rookpawn: Perhaps Black could have tried 48... Nf4! Now:

a) 49. e8=Q e1=Q+ 50. Bxe1 Rxg2+ 51. Kh1 Qxf3 and White cannot stop mate.

b) 49. Be1 Rc1 50. e8=Q Rxe1+ 51. Kh2 Rh1+ 52. Kxh1 e1=Q+ 53. Kh2 Qxe8 etc.

c) 49. Qf5+ Qxf5 50. e8=Q e1=Q+ 51. Bxe1 Rxg2+ 52. Kf1 Rh2 53. Qe5 Qc2 etc.

  Sneaky: Yack... I hate it, it makes me sick to my stomache. How can a game which produces such beauty also produce such a stuffy clogged-up logjam like this? There ought to be a law against this kind of chess.
Jan-21-15  Howard: Just looked this game last night in both Najdorf's and also Bronstein's books.

Yes, 48...Nf4 apparently would have won.
