The only reason why Reti got into trouble was because he chose 27. >>Kt-B3?! Instead of the better move chosen by Fritz 8 27. bxc6! this is what >>Alekhine wrote " It is obvious enough that the Rook can't be taken because of >>27....QxP+. followed by 28.....KtxP and wins. > >I would be a little concerned if my Fritz would chose 27.bxc6 because this >move loses on spot. 27...Rxg3+ >27...Bf3= is correct. Sorry I had the position set up wrong, instead of 26...Re3 I forced Fritz 8 to play 26...Re6, therefore, Fritz 8 would then choose 27.bxc6! as the best reply for White, but as you let Fritz 8 Analyse the position longer, it will select the correct move.
