Jul-09-12		Lovuschka: After 16.f5 (better was 16.Se4): click for larger view Is White winning? (Black to move) 16...Bxf5!! 17.Rxf5 dxe5 and Black wins back the piece on a3, leading to Black advantage (for example, after 20.Qxa3 Qb6+ 21.Kh1 b4 22.Qc1 bxc3 23.Rxe5 White still could have played, Wiener Schachzeitung no.2/3, January-February 1910. Page 48-49). Later, after 26.Bc4: click for larger view Black to move. Easiest win? 26...a6!! 27.Qxa6 Qd7 28.Bd3 e4 (with exd3 and Qh3+ to follow). A very nice tactical comeback by Réti, who surely looked bad after the opening but found the hidden weaknesses of the great humorist's position.
