Why weaken your back rank like this when it's not necessary?} 12. 8-11 25-22 13. 18x25 29x22 14. 11-15 27-23 15. 15-19 23x16 16. 12x19 32-27 {?? 20-16 here is said to draw. I haven't checked this.} 17. 19-24 27-23 18. 24-27 22-18 19. 27-31 18x9 20. 31x22 9-5 21. 22-26 23-19 22. 26-22 19-16 23. 22-18 21-17 24. 18-23 17-13 25. 2-6 {?? awful! 23-18 wins!} 16-11 {?? horrible! 16-12 instead draws.} 26. 7x16 20x11 27. 23-19 {and white resigns as black will win the man on 11. It would have been interesting to see whether Samuel's program would really have won with 3 vs 2 kings!} 1-0
