Thus, the king is forced to march to defend the rook on black squares, maintaining the pin and guaranteeing that Reti will win a piece. |

6-NxBg5 and black is an officer up.
But welcome to the site <slowmover> And I hope you will enjoy it ! |

Nov-23-18 | | thegoodanarchist: The pun was good.
The actual pin was mightier than the pun |

Sep-04-19 | | Retireborn: Does anybody know the exact occasion of this game? I have it (prob. from Golombek) played in the Vienna club jubilee, but Kalendovsky gives a different game with Reti white v Spielmann from that tournament. |

Sep-04-19 | | Paint My Dragon: <Retireborn> I guess it would have to be one of these two: 1913 Mar.-Apr. Jubilaums Turnier. Vienna A-H – R Spielmann 11/14, S Tartakower 10.5, R Reti 9.5, C Schlechter 8, J Perlis 6.5, L Loewy 6, J Schenkein 2.5, E Kaufmann 2 (8). Double RR. (The Vienna Chess Club Jubilee Tourney) or,
1913 Nov.-Dec. 5th Trebitsch Turnier. Vienna AUT – C Schlechter 14/18, R Spielmann 13.5, S Tartakower 13, R Reti 12, J Hrdina 10, A Albin 9.5, M Schara 6.5, L Loewy 5.5, O Strobl 3.5, M Kirschen 2.5 (10). Double RR. Note - both are double round robins, so the Kalendovsky game could easily be the colours reversed encounter from the same event. Incidentally, some sources give the latter event as Dec 1913-Jan 1914, but I think the above version is correct. |

Sep-04-19 | | Paint My Dragon: I just checked Golombek - and he says it's from the Trebitsch Memorial. |
|
Sep-04-19 | | Retireborn: <Paint my Dragon> Many thanks! A tremendous help. I think Kalendovsky would have mentioned it if Reti defeated Spielmann twice in the Jubilee, so Golombek is probably correct about this game being from the Trebitsch. Why didn't I believe him previously? Sheer muddle, no doubt. |
