31. ...Qxh7 32. Qf7+ and Qxe8
31. ...Nf5 32. Bxf5 gxf5 33. Qg5+ and either Rh1 or Rxf5#

  Nightsurfer: An amazing flashback in time - watching <Rudolf Spielmann> and <Richard Reti> playing that very game <R Spielmann vs R Reti (1919)>. Dear people of <ChessGames.com>, thank you so much for posting that historic photo!
Sep-21-13  jerseybob: At first the lack of scoresheets made me think this was a skittles game, but the position matches the score. The picture looks like it was snapped right after black's 12..Qd8. I don't get the double clocks.
Sep-21-13  Shams: <jerseybob> Do you have bionic eyes or something!?
Sep-21-13  JimNorCal: Yeah, the clocks puzzled me too.
Maybe they are analyzing after the game?
Sep-21-13  jerseybob: Shams: If only! Just regular old human ones. But follow the score: the key is the white pawn on h4 - it was only there for one move - and you can faintly see the N on g6 and the queen on d8. JimNorCal: Analysis occurred to me too.
Jun-02-21  Atking: Fantastic picture Champions showing, with their own style, respect to the same board. Probably analysing the game as noted by <jerseybob>. Sure 12...f5 was better than the move played and more and less unclear. I doubt of 11.Ng3 too. Simply 11.a3 Bc5 12.BxB QxB 13.b4 Qe7 14.0-0 which is without much effort to White advantage
