    Bernstein-Vidmar,St.Petersburg 1990
    [an extremely difficult position]
[D]q3b2k/3rbp1p/1n1p1npB/1ppPp1N1/4P1P1/2P2QNP/1PB2P1K/6R1 b
    24...Ng8!!? 25.Qxf7! Bf6!! 26.Qf8 Re7!
    Here Bernstein played 27.Ne6?? and lost.World champion Emanuel
    Lasker,in his book about the tournament,suggested:
    27.Nh5! Nd7! 28.Nxf6! Nxf8 29.Bxf8 Qa7!! 30.Nxe8 Rxe8 31.Bxd6,
    retaining two Bishops and two pawns for the Queen.It is very
    difficult to decide who trapped whom in this tangle.What do
    the silicon masters think? JAFM
