Re3 Rb7 >78. Re4 Rf7 >79. Re8+ Ka7 >80. Bc5+ Ka6 >81. Ra8+ 1-0 I remember the adjournment aspect now. I also watched Fishbein analyze prior to the resumption of play with Deep Thought. It was fascinating to see him play such a strong program in such a tense, death-defying (hyperbole!) endgame. In the end, the computer was much too strong--it seemed at the time. Thanks for posting the actual game! Now that I have Fritz6a with 5-piece tablebases, it will be interesting to analyze this actual game to see when and if Fishbein still had a draw, or for how long he was lost. --Steve
