[On Winawer v Englisch, London, 1883, W E Napier stated that ‘it was a revelation when first I studied its deliberate beauty while a boy enthusiast; and it never seems to stale.’]: ‘The most important single game ever played, I think."

me: I forget where I read it, but Winawer was known for freely exchanging away his Bishops. He liked Knights.

The anti-Sicilian Rossolimo Var. actually originates from Winawer.
Inaugural game: Winawer-Steinitz, Paris 1867

Thanks Greg!
I am not at all knowledgeable about these apps and terminology:
PGN, GUI, etc...I have no idea what they mean.
This is a great discovery!
