Kibitzer's Corner
May-29-10  Oceanlake: Edward Lasker annotated this game in Chess Secrets, pp 207-210. I'll give some excerpts.

6. Ne2. Idea is to exchange a N at f5.

6 ...Nd7 best plan probably c5 & nc6.

(Before 14 Nf3: )block with Ng5; Black must o-o-o, wil attack with c4 and cd

(Before Be1:) Black has prepared combination to save Queen, but in such cramped positions combinations have a way of being wrong.

25 cd! cannot recapture pawn. (Allows 29 Qxa6+.)

33...Rxg2+ If 33...f3; 34 Rxg7, Rd8; 35 Qxd8, Kxd8; 36 c7+, Kc8; 37 Rg8+ etc.

"The way those two Black Rooks stood in the corner throughout the game watching two little Pawns, was really tragicomic."
