I trust more nowdays patzers with the help of computers.

I know that analysis of GM's was often wrong and I discovered many mistakes by
computers.

It is possible that black is winning(I did not check it) but the claim that
black is winning should be based on analysis with today's programs.

If your claim was "I checked the analysis with today programs and black is
winning then your claim could be more convincing"

I wonder if the GM's from 1927 and 1959 gave the best line for white in their
analysis.

If they did not analyze the lines that "patzers" with today programs found then
it seems that your opinion that black is winning should not be based on their
analysis.
