Kibitzer's Corner
Jan-23-14  optimal play: This was the fifth game in a match with victory going to the first player to five wins.

5...Bg4 was a novelty in 1875

14.Ke2? perhaps better is 14.Qxb7

17.Rg3? better is 17.Rxh5 then 17...gxh5 18.Qxb7 Rb8 19.Qxc7

19.Qa4? is a weak move. Much better is 19.Ba6 or even 19.Kf2

27.Qg8+?? is a blunder. 27.Rd5 can force a draw after 27...Qe1+ 28.Kc2 Qxa1 29.Qg8+ Rf8 30.Qg3 a6 31.Qg6+ Kd8 32.Rxd7+ Rxd7 33.Qxb6+ Ke8 34.Qe6+ ½ - ½

The finish is 35.Kb3 c4+ 36.Bxc4 Re2 37.Qg6 Qd2 38.Qg8+ Rc8 39.Qg3+ Ne5 40.Qxe5+ Rxe5 41.Rxe5 Qd1+ wins

Match score at the end of game 5 :-

0-0-1-1-0 (2/5) [+2 =0 -3] Fisher

1-1-0-0-1 (3/5) [+3 =0 -2] Goldsmith

In the race to 5 wins.
