Apr-25-05		nasmichael: He wins with black because he is Bogoljubov. The bridge with rook and king in the endgame is reminiscent to Lucena's Position. The basics do work, I guess. Nice commentary from Maroczy, who is annotating the game.

Nov-08-06		schaduw2: Tartakower plays a reversed “Lion’s Claw” (the Lion System with white). An example of a white players who succeeds in his attack is the next game: [Site "Chicago"] [Date "1964.??.??"] [White "Pundy,J "] [Black "Karklins,A "] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "C20"] 1. e4 e5 2. d3 Nf6 3.
