  fredthebear: Or, 30...Qf4# a move sooner, but every attacker enjoys a discovered double check allowing the opponent to resign. I'm confident Mr. Schiller saw both finishes, given it's a correspondence game.
Oct-17-20  Granny O Doul: It is a nice mating pattern after 31. Kf3 Qg4. I don't know if it's thirteen cents worth of nice, but it's nice.

  fredthebear: <GOD> Those were good days, when common sense was still a commodity.

Minimum wage back in 1983 was a whopping $3.35. The BIG question on everyone's mind was "Can a person catch AIDS off a toilet seat?" Electronically, chess was still immobilized then.

We had personal computers in the 1980s, but we did not send email until the 1990s when Internet Service Providers like AOL showed up. The Free Internet Chess Server started in 1995. I was training on a computer program called Chessmaster on my PC.

1983 was about the time young Josh Waitzkin started playing chess in New York City's Washington Square Park. His movie "Searching For Bobby Fischer" came out in 1993.

Who knows what the GOAT was doing back in 1983? Fischer Random?

Nov-29-23  mel gibson: I chose 23... Rg4.

Stockfish 16 chose the game ply:

23. .. Rxh4

(23. .. Rxh4 (Rd4xh4 Re1xe2 d3xe2 Nc3xe2 Nh6-g4 g3xh4 Bb6xf2+ Kg1-h1 Qe6-e4+ Bf1-g2 Qe4-e5 Bc1-f4 Qe5xa1+ Ne2-c1 Bf2-e3 Qa4-c2 Ng4-f2+ Kh1-) +34.72/39 829)

score for Black +34.72 depth 39.

if I force SF to play my choice it still wins
but is much weaker:

23. .. Rg4

(23. .. Rg4 24. Nxe2 (Nc3xe2 Rg4xg3+ Ne2xg3 Qe6xe1 Bc1-e3 Qe1xa1 Qa4-b3 Bb6xe3 Qb3-e6+ Kc8-b8 Qe6xe3 Rh8-d8 Qe3-e7 Qa1-d4 Qe7-c5 d3-d2 Qc5xd4 Rd8xd4 Bf1-e2 Rd4xb4 f2-f3 f6-f5 ) -7.06/44 246)

score for White -7.06 depth 44.

  offramp: Eric Schiller once said, "<Better an end with horror than a horror without end>", but this game has a slightly protracted end.
Nov-30-23  Brenin: Like <mel gibson> I chose 23 ... Rg4, preferring to sacrifice my opponent's pieces to sacrificing mine. (Did someone else say that?)

Me too - that's what I thought - LOL.
