| Kean: I first came to know Spielmann games by reviewing those of Capa in the 1920s. I remember at least 2 defeats by side and maybe 2 draws. But this game must have been in Spielmann youth and he appeared to be already very strong. |

| An Englishman: Good Evening: Odd coincidence--I was reading about this game in Spielman's book The Art of the Sacrifice this morning. He felt that White's last chance of salvaging the game was 26.Rf3!?, threatening bxc5. He gave the continuation 26...axb4; 27.axb4,Qc6; 28.b5,Rxf3; 29.Qxf3,Bxf3; 30.bxc6,Bxg2+; 31.Kxg2+,bxc6; 32.Rxe6,Rf6; 33.Re7. If there are any egregious errors in the above, it's because I'm trying to translate from English Descriptive to algebraic. |

| sleepkid: ...it's a good King Hunt, but I've always found this one: Alekhine vs Yates, 1923 a little bit more impressive. Both games are good though. |

| ray keene: here is a case in point to parallel my game v bronstein-the very clever defence 26rf3!! leaves black with nothing better then a good endgame-but that in no way invalidates spielmanns sacrifice. |

| ray keene: this is the game i advised looking at in connection with my game v bronstein |

| AlexanderMorphy: This really is a great game! I wonder why it's not put up as one of Bronsteins notable games? |
|
| Oct-10-05 |
| aw1988: LOL, um, this game isn't played by Bronstein. |
|
| Oct-10-05 |
| AlexanderMorphy: lol sorry my mistake i meant it's not on Rubinsteins notable games! |
|
| Oct-10-05 |
| aw1988: Because Rubinstein lost... |
|
| Oct-10-05 |
| AlexanderMorphy: still it's a good game...i don't understand why notable games have to be wins??? Rubinstein didn't play badly or something...he was just outplayed...i still think it should be on his notable games! |
|

| aw1988: On this server losses don't count. |
|
| Oct-10-05 |
| AlexanderMorphy: oh ok thanks for clearing that up! |

| apoorv: why doesn't 33. Rh5 work for black? i don't see how it's bad |
|
| Oct-10-05 |
| apoorv: threathening Qg5# |
|
| Oct-10-05 |
| apoorv: at least it draws after 34.Qe3 34.Qg6+ 35.Kf4 35.Qh6+ |
|
| Oct-10-05 |
| fgh: <apoorv>: 33. ... Rh5 34. Qe3 Qg6+ 35. Kf4 Qg5# |

| GeauxCool: Spielmann authored The Art of Sacrifice in Chess. "We are inclined subconsiously, to rate a sacrificial combination more highly than positional play. We instinctively place the moral value above the scientific. We honor Capablanca, but our hearts beat faster at the mention of the name of Morphy...[this is because] Sacrifice calls forth in us homage and admiration even where the idea in itself may not meet with our full approval. We simply cannot reist the magic of the sacrifice, because enthusiasm for sacrifice lies in the nature of man." -Spielmann "I can see combinations as well as Alekhine, but I cannot get to the same positions." -Spielmann In this game he puts both together. -Fine
Annotation
White loses time on move 7.
10.dxc5 Rubinstein does not understand hypermodern ideas. forced moves: 14, 22.
Spielmann on Spielmann's sac:
25...Bxe4
"The hostile King is forced into the open. It is therefore a King-Hunt sacrifice. I could not calculate the combination more exactly, and I had to rely entirely on my conviction that favorable variations would occur as a matter of course. And events proved me to be right." Spielmann refers to this game as an example of the mating sacrifice:
Spielmann vs B Hoenlinger, 1929

| kellmano: <Geauxcool> Great quote. I love it when grandmasters get deep and meaningful. 'Enthusiasm for sacrafice lies in the nature of man'. Ha ha ha. |

| keypusher: There is a sort of similar sacrifice, with the rook left hanging, in this game. Alekhine vs Yates, 1923
Who said Rubinstein did not understand hypermodern ideas? How does his 10th move demonstrate this lack of understanding? |

| zb2cr: <apoorv>,
In your line, 33. ... Rh5, what do you propose if White plays 34. Rff4? Then
34. ... Qg5+; 35. Kf3, Rh3; 36. Rg4 looks as though White can hold. Improvements for Black? |

| Boomie: 33...Rh5 seems to lead to a rook and pawn endgame with black a pawn up. Probably not enough to win. Spielmann's g5 is winning. 33...Rh5 34. Rff4
(34. Rf2 Rg5+ 35. Kf3 Qh1+ 36. Kf4 Rf5+ 37. Ke3 Rxf2 38. Kxf2 Qxe4  ) 34...e5 35. Kf3
(35. Rf2 Rg5+ 36. Kf3 Qh1+)
35...exf4 36. Rxf4 Rh1 37. Qe3 Qh5+ 38. Kf2 Rh2+ 39. Ke1 Qg6 40. Re4  |

| sanyas: I hope everyone here is aware that 35... e4+ 36. xg5 h6+ 37.f6 e8 leads to mate in 6 more moves. |
|
| Aug-12-07 |
| sanyas: 14. xf6 and 18. d3 were White's key mistakes. If 20.xd6 then 20...c6 21.xc6 xb2 22.xc7 f2+ 23.h1 xd1 24. xd1 xe2 25.g1 bxc6 26.xc6 h6 27.h3 f2 28.g2 f1+ 29.h2 xg2+ 30.xg2 xc4 31.a8+ h7 32.xa7 e2+ 33.g1 f3 should win. |
