Thank you Eduard.  This is close to my memory of the game.  I seem to rember
that on the 50th move he made a move that would win the rook and he was given
credit for winning because he "showed progress".  I have always suspected that
the reason this game is not available is because it was this technicality that
allowed him to win and not an outright victory.  I would sure like to be
corrected on this "memory" of mine by a complete PGN of the game.
Jim
