  Chessical: Although Janowski fell out of the world's leading grandmasters after the First World War, he could still be a very effective attacker as this game played in his late 50's shows.

David Janowski

10.e4? is too weakening, after 10.Nb3!? White has lost the initiative but is still in the game

14....Ng4! cleverly deflects White away from c4

23.Nf7+? White cracks under the mounting pressure, although even after 23.Bf4 g5 24.b4 gxf4 25.gxf4 he has a bad position.

28.Bxg7+ does not help 28...Kxg7 29.Rb3 Bd4 30.Qxf3 Qe1+ 31.Kg2 Rc2

30...Kxg7 31.Rc2 Nd2+ wins on the spot.
