  chancho: <At one time, I was considering trying to write a book on this player ...>

I'm not trying to be offensive <AJ>, but what books on chess have you written?

Nov-21-05   Maroczy: I think a book in english for us non-polyglots on Maroczy is way overdue; maybe he forgot to say good morning to Lasker one day and became pesona non grata in the publishing world. :)
Nov-21-05   Maroczy: I'm in a hurry, persona.
Nov-21-05   hayton3: <<LMAJ> So, why did nothing materialize? I'm just curious...> He has lost a lot of data due hard drive crashes, fires etc. Maybe the same fate befell his Maroczy book research manuscripts?
Nov-21-05   aw1988: Bug off; he said he wanted to write a book, he didn't say he did.
Nov-21-05   hayton3: <aw1988> I didn't insinuate he had written a book either - take your issues elsewhere. You're starting to become rather irritating.
Nov-21-05   aw1988: *shrug*. You're the one constantly badgering him. I'll shut up now.

  Benzol: <keypusher> Thanks for the nod toward this game. A great positional crush by Maroczy and very Nimzowitschian throughout.

  Jonathan Sarfati: A forerunner to the famous game Capablanca vs K Treybal, 1929 Capablanca had great respect for Maroczy's positional judgement.

Better might be 18.Nxe4 fxe4 19.Bxe7 Qxe7 20.Qa7 and white might be winning.

Apr-29-08   DeltaHawk: best pawn movement I have ever witnessed
Apr-29-08   charliechaffka: Only way to avoid perpetual check is by
48: ..Qh3+ 49.Qg3 Qf1+ 50.Qf2 Qh3+ 51. Ke2! Qh5+ 52. Kd2. Otherwise all has been for nothing.
Apr-29-08   mate2900s: this game looks an awful lot like a capa game where he used the same strategy
Apr-29-08   homersheineken: Great pawn work and an even better pun!! I love it!!! I was cracking up with this one.

  whiteshark: It started as a QGD, but ended as a Stonewall, sort of. Opening of the Day, by the way. Stoneway, Steinway, you know...@#$%

  kevin86: The condemned man ate a hearty meal-in this case about five pounds of cheese.

White's pawns were his strength;they strangled the opposition to submission. Black's pawns,are his weakness. They were weak and used all of black's limited mobility to defend them.

There were two teachers in this lesson on pawns. Geza Maroczy taught us how to make a taut position by blocking the game with pawns. Nimzo also played a tight game and his notes here explained the delicate surgery that Maroczy did to poor Mr. Suechting. The game almot looked like two vs one.

You wrote: "Only way to avoid perpetual check is by 48. ... Qh3+; 49. Qg3 ...".

I'm not following you. After 48. ... Qh3+, 49. Kf2 where's the perpetual? The White Queen covers the only checking squares at h2 and h4. What have I missed?

  arsen387: a true masterpiece. 36.e6! is the star move I think. If 36..Bxe6 then 37.h6 (threatening mate on g7) Qd7 (the only defense) then after 38.Qe5! black could resign with a clear conscience. If 36..Nxe6 then 37.Nxb7 Rxb7 38.Ba6 wins the exchange and it's very hard to do smth. with b6 pawn. and 36..Qxe6 also wins nicely, as Maroczy shows in the game. A real gem by Maroczy!
