 | | refutor: is 6.Bxc6 an improvement? if not can i just play the berlin aiming for the open lopez if white plays the "theoretical" 5.d4 as far as i know everything else v. the berlin gives equality |

| Jun-11-03 | | Corben: Seems Zukertort was playing blindfold and thinking in pretty austrian ladies dancing around... |
|
| Jun-11-03 | | chessamateur: Zukertort could of well resigned after 12. NxBe6!, which I don't know how he couldn't of seen that. |

 | | patzer2: The winning 12. Nxe6 illustrates a combination with forcing moves utilizing five instructive tactical themes: (1) "Clearance" by moving the knight to free up the d4 square; (2) "Double attack" (if 12...QxB, then 13 Qxd4 winning a pawn and attacking the queen and the knight on e4, and if 13...QxQ, then 14. BxQ wins one of the knights); (3) "Removing the guard" (in this case the guard removed is the bishop at e6, which was protecting the queen); (4) "The Pin" (the pawn on d5 is pinned and can't capture the rook after 13 RxNe4 without losing the queen); (5) "Combined operations" in utilizing at least four tactical themes to put together a combination, Tarrasch shows he is a master at combining tactical themes. By knowing individual tactical themes well, skilled players masterfully combine them to win material, superior position or mate. This knowledge and perhaps a little opening
preparation gave Tarrasch an easy win after Zuckertort's 11...Qd7?? blunder. |

| Jun-11-03 | | drukenknight: is Qd7 the losing move? what if black comes back w/ 12...Nxf2? |
|
| Jun-11-03 | | exchange: There you go again. Im betting that people will soon get tired of your nonsense. |
|

 | | AgentRgent: <DK> I don't think it works, because of 13. Nxf8. |
|
| Jun-11-03 | | drukenknight: yeah I am looking at that myself. There must be a twist on it somehow...what about over to h3+? |
|
Jun-11-03
| | AgentRgent: <DK> I don't think that helps much, black is down a bishop and a rook for a pawn at that point (after both knights go) |
|
| Jun-12-03 | | drukenknight: yes it looks awful; what was wrong w/ 12...Qxe6? 13 Bxd5? is that survivable? |
|
| Jun-12-03 | | ughaibu: Drukenknight: Re4 |
|

 | | Honza Cervenka: If 12...Qxe6, then 13.Rxe4. |
|
| Jun-12-03 | | exchange: <ughaibu> <Honza Cervenka> I guess you fellows are not familiar with the story about the boy who cried wolf. |
|
| Jun-12-03 | | Woodpusher: exchange, if you don't like what somebody else posts, you can ignore them. just click on their name then follow the link that says 'ignore this user.' it works great!! |
|
| Jun-12-03 | | drukenknight: it looks bad in all of these. I guess Qd7 is the blunder. |
|
| May-05-04 | | Chesspatch: Why not 11.Nd4 Nxd4 12. cxd4 h6 (in preparation for the e4 knight hunt) and black gets away with a pawn? |
|
May-06-04
| | Honza Cervenka: <Chesspatch> If 11.Nd4 Nxd4 12.cxd4 h6, then 13.Bc2 gives white very comfortable play and advantage. |
|
| Jun-14-05 | | Knight13: I can't believe a very strong player like Zukertort can get beaten in just 17 moves! Good game. |
|
Jun-14-05
| | Honza Cervenka: <Knight13> Zukertort could have resigned already in the 12th move. 11...Qd7 was a blunder losing a piece. Quite interesting fact is that three years later Gunsberg against Tarrasch made the same mistake. See Tarrasch vs Gunsberg, 1890 |

| Feb-02-06 | | cavaleiro: This play is known as the "Tarrasch trap in the open variation (of the Ruy Lopez)". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarras... |

 | | chancho: Very surprising to see a tactical wiz like Zukertort getting slapped upside his head in this game. |
