Qb2 {From here, the rest of the game score is given in BCM, October 1961, p275, with Peter Clarke's notes: "The second upset - a real one this time - was Kottnauer's loss to the young Sussex player Springgay. He is a typical "natural" player; he has little knowledge of theory or technique but plenty of talent for tactics; he loves to attack and is not afraid to sacrifice, soundly or otherwise. Such opponents are among the most dangerous, and Kottnauer ran into just the sort of situation they revel in. A pawn up with the better game for a long while, he began to underestimate his opponent's threats, became confused and short of time and before he knew where he was the complications had engulfed him. Before the position shown was reached White had already given some ground, but now all trace of terra firma was swept away as the black pieces burst into action."} c4 27. Nde5 c3 28.

Re4 {"My game with Franklin was also full of excitement and missed chances. After making a temporary piece sacrifice to keep Black's King in the centre I made an error which should have prevented me from recovering it. Fortunately, Franklin did not see it either, and the game went on with White holding the advantage as before. This I succeeded in converting into an extra pawn with the better ending, but in the time rush and with Franklin resisting tenaciously I failed to obtain any more out of it.

Kc2 Ba4# {, as given by BH Wood in his column in the Illustrated London News, 23 September 1961. Wood comments on what he considered to be the game moves as follows: "That’s how it actually ended. As fine a finish, I should think, as this event has ever seen. It does seem a shame, but in the interests of accuracy we have to point out that 22...Qa6 would have been much better than 22...Qa5. It threatens White’s knight, just the same but any move of the knight would allow an immediate mate; so White would have to reply 23.Rg3, whereupon 23...Ra8 would leave him defenceless. Reverting to the game, if Black could win by the brilliant Qxa2+ on move 24, could he not have won by Qxa2+ on move 23? The answer is, that he could!" Please note that Wood's comment that 23...Ra8 leaves White without a defence is not strictly true as the computer finds 24.Bxh7+ as in the game note at Black's move 22 above.}) 24. Kxa2 Ra8+ 25.
