Jan-20-07		McCool: Position after 8...Nc6 click for larger view There is more here than meets the eye, as in this pretty line of play: 9 xb7?, b4; 10 b5+, c6; 11 a4, c5!! winning White's (for if 12 xb4, d3+). My source (see my games collection) tells me that Ossip Bernstein played as White in this game, and therefore Savielly Tartakower played as Black.

Jan-20-07		keypusher: Yes, <McCool> Tartakower also says he had Black here in his 1931-1954 best games collection. It's in the notes to M Lowtzky vs Tartakower, 1937. Tartakower describes the conclusion as follows: <13....Q-Kt4; White resigns. 'An immortal game!' exclaimed Rossolimo, who was present at this encounter. 'Mortal rather, for me!' snapped back the ever alert Bernstein.">
