| |
|
Pawn and Two: <fred lennox> You may be right about Bogoljubov being in time trouble. This fifth round game was very important for both players. After four rounds, Breyer was leading with a score of 3.5, and Bogoljubov was second with 3 points. Understandably, Bogoljubov would be trying

Pawn and Two: <psmith> 31...Rxb2 certainly looks better than 31...Rc1, but Fritz indicates the position is equal. After 31...Rxb2 32.Nxd5! exd5 33.Rde3!, (.00) (21 ply) 33...Rbc2 34.Qd6 Rc1 35.Qxd5+ Qf7 36.Qd6 R1c6 37.Qb4 Rc1 38.Qd6, and the evaluation remains equal.

Pawn and Two: <vonKrolock> Schlechter's lapse in this game probably cost him an undivided first place finish. At Coburg 1904, Schlechter finished in a first place tie with Bardeleben and Swiderski, with 7.5 out of 12 points. Bernstein and Marco were next with 7 out of 12. Goldman's ...
