| Alchemist: This has to be some of the finest knight play that i have ever seen. Notice how white exploits EVERY hole and outpost in the black kingside (e5 f6 h6) White dominates black with a crush that leaves him absolutely nothing constructive, and at the end when white initiates his queenside advance, black knows that he doesn't have a prayer. Beautiful game everyone should add to their collections. |

| DanielBryant: When I was just starting out in chess, I found Silman's annotations to this game to be extremely instructive. |

| Chess Classics: Black is not Walter John, but Barmen John according to Weeramantry. Could someone verify this? Regards,

| offramp: <Chess Classics: Black is not Walter John, but Barmen John according to Weeramantry. Could someone verify this?> Is there also a town called Barmen? That is where the game was meant to have taken place. There could have been some confusion... Chernev rarely gets these things wrong and I know he gives the venue of the game as Barmen. |

click for larger viewRichard Reti: <It is surprising that White suddenly begins an attack on the Queen's side. But that is the epic of Schlechter's game mentioned at the commencement of this chapter. He carries out operations apparently not concerted on different parts of the board, so that one has the impression that a game with no clear preconceived objective is in progress. And it is only at the end that one perceives for the first time the connection of things seemingly disconnected, with the result that the game is rounded off into one great homogeneous whole.> From Reti, Richard: “Modern Ideas in Chess”; transl. by John Hart; Hardinge Simpole, Devon 2002.

| sleepyirv: <offramp> This is the clearest examples of why a certain element of chess is important- in this case, knight outposts. |

| bengalcat47: This game can be found in Chernev's book THe Most Instructive Games of Chess Ever Played. Had Black played on the continuation (given by Chernev)
would have been 50...axb5; 51. axb5, Be8; 52. bxc6, Bxc6; (if instead 52... bxc6 then 53. Rb7) 53. Nxc6, bxc6; 54. ke5, Re8; 55. Rb7. |

| ray keene: i learnt how to play against the dutch by playing through this game from retis book-one sided it may be but it tells you everything you need to know about what to strive for against the dutch-just achieving 50% of whites goals from this game shd be enough to win every time-my lifetime score against the dutch was something like +30 =8 -1 and in virtually every game
i played against the dutch some theme from schlechter v john was brought into action! |
