  An Englishman: Good Evening: This was arguably Rossolimo's biggest upset win, and yet it seemed so quiet and placid by his standards--until the last move of the game. Wham! Just like that, he whipped up a mating attack out of nowhere.

White threatens mate in two beginning with either Kb4 or Bd4+. As far as I can see, only 41...Bc7; 42.Bd4+,Kb7; 43.b6 winning the Bishop will delay the checkmate.

Apr-17-09  Everett: 34..e4 may be give better chances for black to get a k-side passer. The upside is that 35.Rg1 can be met by 35..Bf4, allowing the black rook more flexibility.
Jun-18-11  Everett: This is certainly a bit of a crazy opening instigated by Bronstein's provocative play. He may have considered 11..Nxf3+ 12.Ke2 Ne5 as an improvement. Yet even so, the a7 pawn will drop and black will have to fight against two passed Q-side pawns.
