Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-17-12  optimal play: After 7...0-0 the position is that of (D61) QGD: orthodox defence, Rubinstein attack, with ...c6 introduced by Tarrasch a month earlier in July at Ostend Marshall vs Tarrasch, 1905 even though cg.com says the debut game is Burn vs Von Gottschall, 1905 which was played in August.

This was the final game (round 17) of the 1905 Barmen Masters “B” Tournament (thanks to <Phony Benoni> game collection) and followed the same line as Swiderski vs Nimzowitsch, 1905 played earlier (round 12) up to and including 12.0-0

However Lee correctly identified 12...b5 as a mistake and instead played the simpler 12...Nxc3 which avoided the difficulties Nimzowitsch subsequently found himself in.

The game continued fairly evenly up until after the 40th move when Swiderski's position started to come apart, before he completely imploded, presumably under the pressure of needing to win this game to tie for first with Leo Fleischmann Forgacs, because his last few moves appear suicidal!?
