In this article there was a game between Nigel Short and myself, but the game has fallen off the page (see link below). The place where the number 5137 is seen is where the game was displayed. Does anyone know how I might recover the moves from the article?
I’d be surprised if the CCSCSL doesn’t have a copy.

Is this the game you’re looking for? I found it in the Chessbase Megabase:

Thanks! 
Yes, I found it there yesterday as well. Actually, I found it in Chessbase online database.
The online version had more details. Whoever entered it, thanks! I wouldn’t have used my full name like that, maybe the Saint Louis Club did it.

Would you briefly annotate it for us?
Well, my rating was in the 1800s at the time (still is), so I don’t think my analysis would be worth much. But I recall I wanted to stay away from opening theory. Mr. Short had 29 other players to play so he had to minimize his time at each board. This led to many moves that had not much purpose, except to “keep moving”. I was trying to open lines to his K and at the same time appear like a beginner so he wouldn’t pay a lot of attention to me.
The combination at the end where I won his Q was a shock to me at first. It wasn’t obvious that it was there, but something told me to keep looking. Mr. Short was getting back to my board faster as he dispatched his other opponents, so I bore down on that position trying different things in my head, and then I saw 38… Nxf3+. I remember darn near blurting out some remark like OMG!. And looked up at others with a big stupid grin on my face. lol
I seem to remember that you were very proud of your 3rd move, … g5 to get Mr. Short out of book. Congratulations, Tim!
