Kibitzer's Corner
Feb-21-14  Karpova: Dr. Meitner's opponent was <J. N. K.>. Black's king's side attack is aesthetically pleasing.

Feb-21-14  JimNorCal: <karpova>: "aesthetically pleasing".

Agree, and a very pretty concluding position.
After QxQ, Black plays Rg1+ and RxR for the mate.

Thanks for all the interesting info from WSZ. The time period from about 1905 to 1930 is my personal favorite so I am enjoying these games.
