Subject: A test position from Fisher-Geller

Author: Uri Blass

How much time do your programs need to find 19.Qf1?

Fisher said about this move in his book:"My 60 Memorable games"
"A hard move to find it took around 45 minutes"

Deep Fritz on PIII850(64 Mbytes hash) needed more than 2 hours to find this move
and even after more than 5 hours it cannot se that the line 19.Qf1 Nxe4 is a
clear advantage for white.

Deep Fritz missed 24.h4 in it's main line.

Note that fisher did not find this move in the game for the right reason and the
proof is that he could not find 20.Qf4 later after 19.Qf1 Nxe4

Even after the game Fisher did not understand the position.
Fisher claimed in his book that 20.a3(after 19.Qf1 Nxe4) is the losing move and
I guess that he is wrong because of the line 20.a3 Qb7 21.Rh5(a move that fisher
did not play)

Fisher also missed 21...Nf6 for black in his analysis after 20.Qf4 cxb2 21.Rh5.

The game continued 20.a3? Qb7 21.Qf4? Ba4 22.Qg4 Bf6 23.Rxf6? Bxb3 0-1
