Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-01-07  Wowie: as expected from Korchnoi, a fine endgame.
Aug-01-07  zev22407: The "English Attack" against the Najdorf was played first By the American R.Byrne.
Jan-29-10  jerseybob: zev22407: The English attack as I know it includes the move f3 to solidify the center.
Jul-20-15  Zugzwangovich: The pawn Byrne sacked on move 8 turned out to be his undoing in the game.
Jul-20-15  andrewjsacks: VERY typical game by "Grandmaster Fearless." Eats a pawn that might cause indigestion, but defends and counters admirably, out-tactics opponent in general, and smoothly finishes in the endgame.
Jan-06-18  Mikhail1962: The Great game.
