Yes I agree. Thanks for this Rob.
Good game! I can’t remember this show on TV - but I was very young at the time.
I thought perhaps Re7 was a mistake. He didn’t seem to have a plan after Rf8,
This is excellent to see. Don't think I've seen this particular one since 1980! Do you have the whole of this series?

I have a few more. I wanted to preserve as I think they would otherwise be lost.

Someone tell me how Stockfish would have beaten Schmid. Was Re7 correct?

It was the best move according to Stockfish. Bf4 and Nd3 saw the evaluation go from 2.5 to 0.1.
An Englishman plays the English opening against a German who plays a "foolish" opening and gets into a beautiful position. There could only be one winner !
anyone ever noticed how much hair these guys have ?

That's how we looked in the 70's and early 80's.
Oddly enough, Schmidt's initial opening has been labeled inferior since Petrosian as white flattened Korchnoi in that line in 1962. But Schmidt varied early from that game.
