Sep-27-04		DanielBryant: Perhaps Maroczy should have played more vigorously in the IQP position?

Sep-27-04		notsodeepthought: Probably a good idea - but an even better one would have been to avoid playing 19 Be4, which soon led to 21 ... Nb3 winning the exchange (22 Rad1 Nd2). At that point the only "vigorous" action white could undertake was shaking hands.

Oct-24-08		keypusher: From Hoffer's tournament book, re 19. Be4: <Losing the exchange in consequence. Maroczy said he made the move advisedly, hoping for a draw.> Supposedly the move Maroczy overlooked was 25....Rd5. Hoffer: <[Maroczy] intended Bc5 followed by Bd6, and then to play for the b-pawn. Lasker prevented this maneuver with the text move, and the game is over.>
