May-02-07 Y Gusev vs Flohr, 1955 
| |
| dzanone: 43.Rxc5+ Kxb4 44.Rxe5 Will it be impossible to stop the b-pawn? A rook can be such an asset with an open board; I wouldn't resign here. Of course I'll never play anyone of Flohr's excellent abilities. |

| dzanone: I got my chessbucks, thank you, but I never saw any open events. Everyday since I got my bucks I would check in and see closed events. Have they been opening and closing really fast? |

| |
| dzanone: Am I missing something? If black takes the bishop Qxg6+ leading to mate. Black looks cooked to me. |

| dzanone: I was on vacation when his 60 Memorable Games was about to be released. I made my folks stop at every book store we saw and finally found one in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I still have it today, 40 years later. A great player, indeed. I wish you peace, Bobby. |

| dzanone: I'm not trying to pick a fight, but if Tal had not been smoking so much, perhaps he'd still be with us. |

| dzanone: 46...h4 47.Kxh4 f6 48.Kg4 Kg7 49.Kf5 Kf7 50.h4 Kg7 51.g4 Kf7 52.h5 Kg7 53. h6+ Kxh6 54.Kxf6 and White can make no headway. I wondered why no one mentioned having the King take the pawn; it doesn't go anywhere. |
