1934 game between Alexander McDonnel and Louis Labourdonnais. From "The World's
Greatest Chess Games" by Burgess

Black to move and the move made by Black was "f5" "Black immediately begins the
decisive advance. Note that he spends no time on prophylaxis against White's
Queenside play, confident that his pawn-storm will sweep everything from its
path"

Black went on to win.

Fritz 8 Suggests: Bd7-a6
Hiarcs 8 Suggests: Qc6-d7
and Kibitzer Anaconda 1.6.2 Suggests: Re8-c8

Does your engine have an even different suggestion or even the played move?
