Sep-14-05  sitzkrieg: Black misses a pawn, has no compensation; so lets draw..:P
Sep-14-05  RookFile: Yeah, Szabo's nerves were toast after he overlooked mate in 2 versus Reshevsky.
Jun-23-13  phil6875: <RookFile> Just to clarify, Szabo's terrible error against Reshevsky took place in Round 19, this was Round 17.
Jun-03-21  stevenashs20mworkout: is there an error in this notation?
In Bronstein's book, he gives 33. Rdc1 (instead of Rac1) and the ensuing analysis reflects this.

  Pawn and Two: <stevenashs20mworkout> Bronstein's original Zurich 1953 tournament book, in Russian, and other Zurich 1953 tournament books by Najdorf, Stahlberg, and Wood, all show the move 33.Rdc1.
