May-13-05		cu8sfan: Wow! This game is incredible! I've never heard of Victor Sjoberg before but Siegbert Tarrasch was quite a good and well known player in his days. And he got beat in very entertaining style here.

May-13-05		Ziggurat: This was a friendly game between Sjöberg and Tarrasch, who had come to Sweden to give a simultaneous exhibition. The game was played on the night of Tarrasch's arrival. "Victor Sjöberg broke his promise to Tarrasch not to publish the game - Tarrasch claimed that he was tired after the journey and could not play at his best. Victor Sjöberg (1876-1947) was one of Sweden's leading players during the first decades of the 20th century." http://www.jora.info/essayer/tarras...
