  patzer2: Black uses a demolition of pawn structure combination with 19. Bxg2+! to mate White, after having made a previous brilliant double rook sacrifice.
Feb-06-05   aw1988: <Sneaky> It would not be that hard of a puzzle, considering Bh3 is virtually forced.
Sep-24-05   Averageguy: What a game! Reti is fast becoming one of my favourite players.

  chancho: Reti played some beautiful masterpieces. A pity he died of scarlet fever at the age of forty, in 1929.
May-07-07   zev22407: Inspired by "The Immortal Game"
May-07-07   psmith: <aw1988> Bh3 is best, but not forced. Bf5 should win also.

  whiteshark: <<<aw1988>/<patzer2>/<Sneaky>>; 17... Bh3 puzzle> 17... Lc5+ !!! might surprise you.

18. Kh1 Bh3! 19. hg3 Rxh8

Jun-19-07   zdigyigy: I cannot recall the last time I have seen a sedate line in the Two Knights defence....Reti had this one all figured out, what beautiful game.
Aug-25-08   dwavechess: 19/22 86% coincidences with rybka 2.3.2 w32 1cpu 14 ply for reti!Most rybkalike play of thousands of game I put rybka to analysis.
Sep-11-08   dwavechess: Down to 77% for Reti with Rybka 3 w32 at 3 minutes per move.
Jan-10-09   WhiteRook48: this is such a Reti marvel.

  Check It Out: It seems Euwe decided to play it all the way to mate considering the nature of the game. He could have resigned at move 20 or 21. Euwe's willingness to play it out reminds me of a game Fischer played where he got upset because the guy resigned BEFORE the denouement could be delivered. I don't remember which game though.
Apr-18-09   kasparvez: This pun has been used before for a great game involving Lasker and Euwe. Pl check: Euwe vs Lasker, 1934
Apr-18-09   grz: <Check It Out:>

I think you're referring to the R. Byrne-Fischer 1963 game. Check it out and let me know if that is the game you are thinking of.

Apr-18-09   pawneetribe: I love Reti too...he really puts the "hyper" in "hypermodern". But please enlighten this perennial patzer, why 9Nxd4 instead of just Rxe4+? Or Nxe4?

  kevin86: The future WC learns the hard way how premature attacks can lead to early destruction.

How awful is it when a player exchanges an active queen for two inactive rooks. The queen is still there but is closer to being living dwad.

Apr-18-09   serefhanov: After 12. Qxc5 with Nxe4 and Rxe4 white is up pawn should win, at least draw. but Euwe thought that he has winning attack so didn2t exchage queens. All later moves are forced I think.It's hard to see mate in 10:)

  Check It Out: <grz> That's the one. Thanks!

  patzer2: I've been recently reviewing the double attack tactical theme in Fred Reinfeld's "1001 Winning Chess Sacrifices and Combinations," and immediately recognized the position after 19. Kh1 (19...? Black to move) as number 274 in this collection.

  patzer2: Surprisingly Reinfeld drags out his back-of-the-book solution with 21...Qxd1+ when 22. Kg2 Qg4+ or 22...Qg1+ lead to a longer and more difficult mate. Instead, Reti's 21...Qf3+ initiates a quick mate-in-two.

  patzer2: Oops! I owe Fred Reinfeld a posthumous apology. In Reinfeld's problem 274 there is an extra White bishop added on g1 to complicate the situation, and this makes his "more complicated" solution correct.

However, the problem 17...? (Black to move) can be found as number 345 in Reinfeld's "1001 Winning Chess Sacrfices and Combinations." There (problem 345 on page 73) the solution is the same as the game continuation here.

  patzer2: I have 17...Bh3! in my "discovered attack" game collection, which is the same category Reinfeld puts it under in his "1001..." combination book.
May-03-09   grz: <Check it out>

You're welcome. That is one of my favorite Fischer games.
