1.d4 {Notes by Dr. Ossip Bernstein.} d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6
4.Nf3 Be7 5.Bf4 O-O 6.e3 c5 7.dxc5 Bxc5 8.cxd5 Nxd5 9.Nxd5
exd5 10.Bd3 Bb4+ 11.Kf1 Be7 {In Bernstein-Maroczy, Barmen
1905, Black played 11...Bd6, which is also good. The move
11...Be7 was used in the game Janowsky-Lasker, London 1899.}
12.h4 Nd7 {?! Better is 12...Nc6, as played by Lasker in the
above cited game.} 13.Rc1 {An amusing variation can occur
after 13.g4 Re8? (intending ...Nf8) 14.Bxh7+! Kxh7 15.Qc2+ Kg8
16.Bc7 and White wins the queen.} Nf6 14.Nd4 Qb6 15.Qb3 Qxb3
16.Nxb3 Bd7 17.Ke2 {White cannot win a pawn by 17.Rc7 because
of 17...Bd8 18.Rxb7 Bb6.} Rfc8 18.Be5 Ne4 19.f3 Nd6 20.Nc5 Bc6
21.b3 Re8 22.a4 Nf5 {!} 23.Nxb7 {!} Bxb7 24.Bxf5 Ba3 25.Bd4
Bxc1 26.Rxc1 {With two bishops, control of the c-file and play
against Black's weak a-pawn, White has more than enough
compensation for the sacrificed exchange.} g6 27.Bd7 Re7
28.Rc7 Ba6+ 29.Kd2 Rd8 30.Rxa7 Bc4 {!? A trick, which does not
help. On case of 30...Rexd7 31.Rxa6 White's passed pawns will
win quickly.} 31.bxc4 dxc4 32.a5 {Instead, 32.Kc3 wins
easily.} Rexd7 33.Rxd7 Rxd7 34.a6 {?? A fatal, hasty action
that throws away the win. After 34.Kc3 Black is lost; e.g.,
34...Rc7 35.a6 Kf8 36.a7 Rc8 37.Be5, followed by 38.Bb8, and
White wins.} Rd6 35.a7 Ra6 36.Kc3 Ra4 37.e4 h5 38.Be3 f6
39.Bb6 Kf7 40.Kd4 Ke6 41.f4 Kd6 42.f5 gxf5 43.exf5 Kd7 44.g3
