Un poco más, y Najdorf se equivoca Así se llegó hasta la jugada 23, que
Najdorf meditó muchísimo, hasta el pounto de permitir, casi, que Reshevsky
recuperara todo el tiempo perdido; finalmente replicó 23.D4T, es decir, la
jugada que habia visto todo el público. ?Esta vez era Najdorf, a su turno, el
que se había vuelto loco? ?Para qué había pensado tanto? Después de la partida
nos lo dijo: ..Había imaginado una larguísima combinación, a base del
sqacrificio de un caballo, que era correcta hasta en sus menores detalles...
!menos en uno! !Reshevsky hubiera podido sacrificar la dama y quedar mejor! Un
