Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-11-04  Dick Brain: An interesting counterattack scheme and pawn sacrifice by Black aimed at creating open lines and creating and exploiting a weak square complex.
Aug-27-04  wall: Perhaps 31.Ne7+ instead of 31.exd5. 32.dxc6 looks bad. Perhaps 32.d6 is better. Perhaps before 33.d5, 33.c4, then 34.d5. 38.Rc2 is losing. Perhaps 38.Qa4. Instead of 38...Rc5, why not 38...Rd1+ 39.Kf2 Qg3 mate. After 40...Qg3+ (or 40...Qh4+) 41.Kd2 Rd8+ wins for Black.
Jul-09-07  RandomVisitor: Eliot Hearst holds the distinction of defeating Bobby Fischer in the final round of the October 1956 Rosenwald Tournament, just three rounds after Fischer had played his "Game of the Century" against Donald Byrne.

Fischer should have tried 25.Qg3 and settled for perpetual check:

Jul-09-07  Petrosianic: In 1964, Hearst wrote in his column in Chess Life that he'd beaten Fischer in 1956, and liked to believe that Fischer hadn't improved since then.
Jun-02-10  cjgone: Wow, risky plays ultimately lead to a loss. Impressive for someone to take such risks though.
Jul-28-14  sfm: Errors in the scoresheet?
it says
38.Rc2,Rc4
but instead Black has
38.-,Rd1+ 39.Kg2,Qg3#
