Jan-12-04		mjk: Stean gives 39...c6! good drawing chances (as a consequence of 38.h7+?).

Dec-17-06		Dr. Siggy: In spite of Tarrasch's imprecision at his 38th move, this game continues to be the most perfect example of how to conduct strategically the so-called "French ending" with White. Stean's improvement (pointed out here by our friend <mjk>) isn't his at all: in fact, it's Tarrasch's himself (!), as one can confirm reading his comments on this game included in his superb book, "Die Moderne Schachpartie" According to Neishtadt, though, even after 39...Rc6! White can proceed to win with the following plan: taking the king to f6 (Ke3-f4-g5-f6), keeping the opponent's king at c7 (Rh7-h8+), penetrating with the king in e7 and finally playing Rh8-d8-d6.

Mar-20-07		checkpat: it is ironic that Tarrasch in his 39 move does not apply his own celebrated rule: "Put the rook behind the pawn!" Maybe it was formulated after that game?

Sep-07-07		diegoami: Well, Tarrasch in this game did not even play the Tarrasch ( 3. Nd2 ! )

Aug-30-08		Sneaky: < checkpat: it is ironic that Tarrasch in his 39 move does not apply his own celebrated rule: "Put the rook behind the pawn!" > You are only quoting part of the rule. The complete rule reads: "Always place rooks behind passed pawns, except when it is wrong to do so."
