Ra-g8 is a brilliancy, sound and perfect. The brilliancy is not marred by the fingerfehler K. made 8 moves later. Of course you can't and don't see it. If you simply rely on the analysis of the droids today, you won't see it. But in 5-10 years' time, 26 .. Ra-g8! may be used as a testset position for top computer engines (Fritz 14, Fruit 5.2, Shredder-Deepest 16.1) running on 10GHz x 8 clusters, to see if they can find a reasonably forced draw for black, and if they can find a better response than 27. Nxa7 (?). When that happens, Michael Drexel 3.1 won't call the brilliancy "nonsense". Till then, best A.S.
