Apr-24-05		ksadler: Another wonderful game by Tarrasch! Great tension, poisoned pieces, and a swift tactical finish. A good game for study, in my opinion. It's somewhat obvious, but I'll mention it anyway: if 34. .. fxg6 then 35. f7+! with an immediate checkmate or promotion.

Jun-20-06		GeauxCool: Tarrasch gives black problems, he's restricted and can't develop normally. On move 17, Marco must sacrifice a pawn to free himself.-Fine

Jul-09-06		Petrocephalon: A correction has been submitted. (Note you can do this via the link "suggest your correction" under the Kibitz window). An interesting comment by Reinfeld to 13.Nf3: "This is the kind of move that can be made only by a tyro or a great master. Tarrasch deliberately refrains from obtaining two Bishops and retreats the Knight with a loss of several tempi. But what is really important is the weakening of Black's position (..P-KR3) and the cramping effect of the coming P-KB5"

Jul-09-10		GrahamClayton: Position after 20.g4: click for larger view Tarrasch uses his pawns to great effect to smother Marco's position.

Feb-02-13		backrank: < Anastasius: 24.Rac1: In order to avoid the exchange of rooks makes less sense than Rae1. I think 24.Rae1 was played.> For the final combination too it's important that the rook is placed on e1 to prevent the black king from escaping. Reinfeld, Réti and Euwe all give 24 Rae1.
