Aug-22-05		aulero: 21. Rd3 was a very sharp move. Reti did not see the incumbent danger and he did fall in a beautiful trap. The white's 23 and 24 moves set up an good problem for chessgames' puzzles.

Aug-22-05		Koster: Indeed reti sense of danger let him down. Nb6 is already a step in the wrong direction when there are kingside problems to be solved. then Ba3?? Does he really thing a lone queen can defend against 4 attacking pieces? I've noticed that weak caro-Kann players tend to be greedy types that will grab anything, but reti wasn't a weak player.

Nov-20-06		syracrophy: In another book appears the position after 24...xg5: click for larger view 25.h8+! xh8 26.xf7+ g8 27.xg5

May-09-09		Peligroso Patzer: One of the lines Alekhine gives in the tournament book ("New York 1924", by Alekhine, Alexander, Russell Enterprises, Inc. (c)2008, at page 282) (from the position after 21. ... Bxa3?) goes: 22. Nfg5! Be7 23. g3 Qc7 24. Qg4 Bxg5 25. Nxg5 Nd7 26. Rf3! Nf6 27. Qh4 Qe7 28. d5 (not 28. g4 Rxd4) cxd5 29. g4! "and wins" - Alekhine. Although the resulting position (with Black to move): click for larger view looks like White should win, Alekhine's ending his analysis here seems to me a bit premature.

May-09-09		Peligroso Patzer: For example (continuing from the position in the diagram in my previous post), after 29. ... d4 30. Rh3 Kf8 31. Qh8+ Ng8 32. Nh7+ Ke8 33. Qxg8, White has won a piece, but Black's central pawns seem to give enough counterplay to make a simple assessment of "White wins" too facile.

Jan-01-13		SaVVy66: Whats after Qxg5.. i m too high to see whats coming ..!

Jan-01-13		Benzol: 25Rh8+ Kxh8 26.Nxf7+ forking King and Queen.
