  offramp: Game 4 of the match; played 12th April 1952. The score before this game was 3-0.

But now Najdorf had a chance to play his favourite King's Indian. Of course he is one of the <WORLD'S GREAT EXPERTS> on the King's Indian!

We reach this standard position after 13.Rad1.

  Breunor: I thought 15 Nxe4! Was the inspired move leading to victory. I don't find it easy to see. In guess the move I tried Nh4 which leads to only a +.58 value for white.
