I think Geller was indeed in time trouble, there was famous game against Sveshnikov where he made a blunder in time trouble while he had a good position. so maybe that is why he offered a draw.
Why doesn't black leave castling for later (and play normal development and trade knight vs bishop at c4)and put h5 to stop pawn storm and then guard his black bishop so it can't be exchanged. Then you can castle when u need the extra rook to attack!
the same ios happy to me, in the zonal tournament, I lost Ce4, agains GM ivanov, and a I lost the gamee! know Im am 2479, and trying to be aGM, i that level happen my friend, Im 18 :D
I enjoyed this video Majnu. Like you, I couldn't believe that:
1. Kortcnoi missed Ne4! and instead opted for the overly safe e6. I'm not saying I would have seen Ne4 myself, just that a grandmaster should find that move.
2. Geller resigned a winning position. But like you said, perhaps he had time trouble.
About N e4, In this situation it was clearly the best move but in general to knights defending each other isnt that strong, it is an optical illusion. often the knights get paralyzed because they need eachother. two nights standing side by side is in most cases much stronger (they cover more squares that way). maybe thats why korchnoi didnt play Ne4

your analysis of the game is better than the game itself.

lol.
Sure they are much better than humans in finding tactics.
I've heard someone say: "My computer beats me at chess, but I beat him at karate" ;-)
