Kibitzer's Corner
Apr-10-12  optimal play: I'm not sure this is a drawn game. White has a strong K-side position while Black's Rook is stuck on the a-file minding the pawn. If I was in Leonhardt's position I think I would have kept going a bit longer. The previous year they played this same opening, but with opposite colours, and Schlechter played 7.d3 compared to Leonhardt's 7.d4 Schlechter vs Leonhardt, 1905

  Honza Cervenka: I don't think that white has any real advantage in final position. In fact, black's Rook behind passed a-Pawn is placed optimally and white cannot hope in any significant progress on the Kingside without support of his Rook, which must block black a-Pawn. Leonhardt quite probably missed a win somewhere in the course of the game but not in the end of it.
