MISPRINT
In the game to which you refer, the young Mr. Denker
missed an obvious *mate-in-one* by 23.h4++. To me,
this brings into serious question the level of understanding
behind the grandmasterly-looking opening moves. -- Help Bot
Unlike Greg Kennedy, I would not imagine that
Arnold Denker's understanding would be called into question
question even if he had missed a mate in one. But as it turned
out, he did not.
Alas, the Denker-Felt game had a misprint.
The move played was 21. ... Bh3 rather than 21. ... Bh6.
Also the final diagram was wrong.
I am told both mistakes have been rectified. On the other hand,
an annotation after 21. ... Bh6 suggests the move was supposed
to be 21. ... Bh3 as in MY BEST CHESS GAMES 1929-1976 by
GM Arnold Denker (Dover edition, 1981).
With dismay I note that that the mistaken 21.
... Bh6 also appeared in my long Chess Life
appreciation of Arnold (March 2005). On the other
hand, the correct 21. ... B-R6 appeared in the Denker-Parr
volume THE BOBBY FISCHER I KNEW AND OTHER STORIES.

Brava!
Good work done by Help Bot. Now the Correction has been made. I think
Zebediah is using Computer to beat Master Level. He is playing such
risky moves like hanging its both knights Still winning the Game.
Can nomorechess still beat the Master Level?
