Mar-02-08 | | Resignation Trap: <gBizzle> My opponent and I played this "most retarted opening" at the 2005 Tri-State Challenge in Jackson, Wyoming. But in that game (Karl Disher - James Kulbacki ) I forced a draw with 13...Qh4+. In my opinion, if White wants to avoid a draw, then 12.Bb5+ (instead of 12.gxf3) is the way to go. About 25 years ago, I went through over 100 Schlechter games while preparing a magazine article about the great Viennese master. I limited myself to selecting five games, and I considered including this one seriously. Schlechter played many wonderful games, and it wasn't easy to decide which ones to include! This one didn't make the list... |

|
Mar-03-08 | | kevin86: I heard about a young cop who was looking over Mary Poppins and Fagen-his sergeant asked,"What are you doing? The cop answered,"Sarge,you asked me to search every crook and nanny". (and the audience laughed loudly as the curtain came down). |

Bb5+, and a game I never tire of pointing out: Chigorin vs H Caro, 1898 |
|
Mar-03-08 | | Resignation Trap: <Gypsy> Without digging through my "archives", I can remember that four of the five Schlechter games chosen by me for that article were: Schlechter vs G Marco, 1904 , Schlechter vs Meitner, 1899 , Schlechter vs Lasker, 1910 and Schlechter vs Salwe, 1909 . |
|
Mar-04-08 | | Resignation Trap: I remember the fifth game, now: Schlechter vs Steinitz, 1898 . |
|
Jun-11-08 | | number 23 NBer: What about 20 ♗f5+ ♔d8 21 ♖d1+ ♔e7 22 ♖d7+ ♔e8 23 ♖b8#? It seems much quicker to me. |

 | | GrahamClayton: 10..ef3+ 11.gf3 exploits the pin along the 4th rank. Later on, 15...♕a1 loses to 16.♗c6+, and:
a) 16...♔d8 17.♕d5+ ♔e7 18. ♗a3+ winning the Queen on a1; b) 16...♔f8 17. ♗a3+ also winning the Queen.
c) 16...bc6 17. ♕c6+ ♔d8 18. ♕a8+ ♔d7 19.♕h8, with White 2 pieces up. |

Feb-19-14 | | jasmin: What about 4....d5? |
|
Sep-12-15 | | alvaro vinicio: Very instructive game, of a great and somewhat forgotten master. Read the novel "Carl Haffner's love of the draw" by Thomas Glavinic, inspired in S. |

Aug-07-18 | | Nosnibor: Could Herzfeld not settled for a draw at move 13 by Qe1+?.If then 14 Be2 Qxh1 a d does wbite have enough to win ? |
|
Aug-07-18
 | | Honza Cervenka: After 13...Nc6(?) white could win simply by 14.Qd7+! Kxd7 15.Bh3+ and 16.Rxe1. |
|
Aug-08-18 | | Nosnibor: <Honza Cervenka> Although this game is interesting it is far from faultless. |
