Feb-07-16  TheFocus: This game won a Brilliancy Prize for Rotlewi.

See <American Chess Bulletin>, March 1912, pg. 61.

Feb-07-16  morfishine: Rotlewi's Immortal!

Seeing this game for the first time really made my day. Gotta love the way the White Queen worms her way into <e7> all to gain the check <22.Nf6+> which sets up the piece-winning tactic <23.Ng4>

Feb-07-16  TheFocus: Please disregard my post above. It is wrong. I will submit a request for deletion.

  Honza Cervenka: 16...Nxb2 was a mistake (16...Ne5 was correct), which Georg Rotlewi exploited almost perfectly. 22.Nf6+ was an inaccuracy, which could help black to survive after 22...Kh8! The point is that after 22...Kh8 23.Ng4 Qc3 24.Bd2 black can play 24...Qg7! Instead of 22.Nf6+ white could play 22.Qf6! Nc4 (of course, 22...Qxe4 23.Bxb2 is not an option here) 23.Bxc4 Qxf6 24.Nxf6+ Kg7 25.Bxe6 +- etc.
