The "Chess-games" web site now has this game. (I submitted it to them several times ... before they finally carried it.) (09/2005)
*************************
I was asked by a friend, who made a sizeable donation ... to find the best miniature in Dr. John Nunn's book. ("101 Brilliant Chess Miniatures.")
It is also one of the prettiest of all time. (A few years ago, I made up a collection of 20 or so miniatures, all un-annotated. I sent them out to dozens of people, who were asked to pass them along to their friends as well. Several months later, the people had all voted, and this game was the clear winner. It IS extremely brilliant, contains many surprise moves, and is truly an inspired game. It is a great game of the highest caliber, very few master-level contests be superior to this one.) Certainly a great struggle, and a modern masterpiece.

NOTE: I have deeply analyzed this game ... but never found the time to post all of my analysis, and it runs many, many pages. (Aug, 2005.)
Until
such time as I actually get around to building the web page, the greatly
respected GM John Nunn does a wonderful job in his book,
"101 Brilliant Chess Miniatures." (Game # 97) This book was
released in 1999, and was published by Gambit Books. ISBN: # 1-901983-16-1.
