Jan-03-09		nimh: Maroczy missed a simple win. click for larger view Analysis by Rybka 3 Human 32-bit: 1.Qh5+ Kf8[] 2.Qd5[] Ke7 3.Qg5+ (3.01) Depth: 15 00:02:22 6427kN 1.Qh5+ Kf8[] 2.Qd5[] Ke7 3.Qg5+ (3.09) Depth: 16 00:05:09 13586kN (Varend, 04.01.2009) Although being a world class player, his games feature too many tactical blunders. It's no coincidence that his peak was 1905-08: Lasker in semi-retirement, Pillsbury declining and his death, Capa not risen yet.

Jan-03-09		GrahamClayton: Burn avoids 21...g7, due to 22.b6, and then either: 22...ab6 23. e7+ 22...g6 23. d4+ winning the exchange 22...d5 23. d4+ winning the exchange

Jun-27-12		Honza Cervenka: Maroczy's solution instead of 13.Qh5 simply wins a sound Pawn and avoids all complications. Later he went wrong and lost the game but from the opening he got technically won position.

Jul-17-12		perfidious: This game (Reti vs Breyer, 1918) is a well-known improvement on 13.Nxe4. Small wonder that attention soon turned to 7....Bf5.
