I found a detailed version at GK, But the annotator was 1400 ish. 😕
Perhaps one of the regulars have access to a GM's notations.

Unfortunately not.

Fischer did annotate it for Chess Life (I think).

I'm fairly sure it has been annotated in various games collections - maybe it is in Kapsarov's Great Predecessors
