1.d4 {Notes by R. Teichmann} d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Bf4 e6 4.e3 Ne4
{Premature; this move is only good when the Knight can be
sufficiently supported on this square. To move a developed
Piece twice is, besides, entirely against the minor
principles.} 5.Bd3 Nd7 {But now f5 would have been more
consistent.} 6.Bxe4 dxe4 7.Nfd2 f5 8.f3 {Taking immediate
advantage of Black’s weak play.} g5 {An extraordinary
conception involving the sacrifice of a Pawn for the sake of a
premature and compromising attacking manoeuvre.} 9.Bg3 f4
10.exf4 gxf4 11.Bxf4 Qf6 12.Be3 exf3 13.O-O {Now White has a
clear Pawn ahead with a splendid development.} b6 14.Nxf3 Ba6
15.Rf2 Bh6 16.Qd2 Bxe3 17.Qxe3 Rf8 18.Nbd2 O-O-O 19.c4 e5
20.d5 Rde8 21.Ne4 Qf5 22.Qa3 {Making the most of his strong
position and finishing the game in vigorous style.} Kb7
23.Nfd2 Qg4 24.h3 Qh4 25.Rxf8 Rxf8 26.Qa4 Rf7 27.c5 { Against
this there is nothing to be done, the loss of the Queen and at
least one Piece being threatened at the same time.} Nb8
28.Nd6+ {Herr Mieses played this and several other games in
the Tourna ment certainly much below his usual strength, which
he has shown elsewhere, and in his games with most of the
other prize winners.} 1-0
