Jan-15-08		paladin at large: My guess is that Treybal, perhaps very short of time, figured he would win the bishop back by playing 31....Rb1, but he overlooked that White can play 32. Re8+ , foiling that plan. You ever do something like that?

Jan-15-08		vonKrolock: Very brief comments in the Tournament's book - just a <?> for 30...xc3 ?? - Before, the commentator, Walter John, awarded another <?> for white's 23.a1: quote<<"Es musste De5 geschehen; 23.De5 Sf6 24.Dc7:+ Te7 25.Sd8+ und gew.">>

Jan-16-08		paladin at large: <vonKrolock> The comments make no sense - there is no black knight which can go to f6 <23....Sf6> (S= Springer= knight, for other kibitzers)

Jan-16-08		whiteshark: <aladin at large> It's only a small typo in the quote. quote<<"Es musste De5 geschehen; 23.De5 <Lf6> 24.Dc7:+ Te7 25.Sd8+ und gew.">> 23.e5!! is indeed the winning move, but after 23...f6 24.xc7+ <g8> is better than 24...e7, though lost anyway. :D

Jan-16-08		vonKrolock: <whiteshark: <aladin at large> It's only a small typo in the quote.> The typo is in the book <"XVIII. Kongress des Deutschen Schachbundes, e.V. - Breslau 1912"> (Coburg 1913) in page 127

Jan-16-08		paladin at large: Thanks for the contributions from the dusty past.
