Aug-09-03		Yuri54: This game seems pretty cramped and perhaps in black's favor in the beginning. But after some reconstruction and finally 21.e4 Janowski breaks through and provides breathing room for his pieces.

Aug-09-03		kevin86: A few things: First,Tarrasch is butchered as I've never seen before. Second,do the math;NINE white pieces on the king side--black,only the king.

Aug-09-03		Calli: Tarrasch 15...c4 is a positional mistake. Funny part about it is that he made the same mistake against Pillsbury in a famous QGD at Hastings some ten years before.

Aug-09-03		Andrew Chapman: 18 ... h6 seemed weakening and turned out that way too.

Dec-30-06		Gouki: 21 moves and not a piece or pawn exchanged! <NINE white pieces on the king side--black,only the king.> indeed, what was Tarrasch thinking when he brought all of his pieces to the queen side when Janowski had his pieces on the king side? nonetheless, fantastic combination from Janowski at the end to clinch the game :D
