And he's still losing to Asa, who must be 60 by now.

The game was strategically good played by both opponent till the ending. It
seems that Campomanes' move 26...Na4 was played following wrong plan
because he left square c4 without control. Probably it was better to play
immediately Nfd7.
After Hofmann's move 29.c4 the position became critical.
Final Campomanes' mistake was 32...c5. After 33.Bxa4 Nxa4 34.Kb3 the game is
over.
My impression was that Campomanes could make draw in ending, but he played
uncarefully in 26th move.
