Mar-04-13  Xeroxx: Hey guys look at this old game.
Mar-04-13  thomastonk: <Xeroxx> I followed your advice, but I think I only wasted my time. There is nothing special in this game, isn't it?
Aug-03-15  asianwarrior: What I can see is black is not yet lost by 22...Rff6 23.ef6 Rf6 and white still have many things to do to win. .

  Mateo: A really weird game. I don't understand 20...f6? And why Breyer resigned so hastily? Maybe the score is uncomplete?

  Telemus: <Mateo: I don't understand 20...f6?> Leonhardt in the tb gave a ?, too (according to Adams, who analysed 20.. Rd4).

<Maybe the score is uncomplete?> No, it is complete.

Leonhardt called the final position hopeless, but Adams called "Breyer's resignation [..] rather premature but White would indeed win [..]"

  Mateo: <Telemus> Thank you for the explanation. By the way, you mean Michael Adams, the English Grand Master? Or someone else?
