B) 15...Nh5 16. Bxe7+ (16. Qh4 f6 17. Bh6 Ng7) Nxg3 17. hxg3 Re8 18. Ba3, and the ♙ on f5 is dead. C) 15...Ne4 16. Bxe7 Nxg3, etc., as in B). (If 16. Nxe4, then 16...Qxe4 17. Bf6+ Qg4.) In B) and C) white gets two pieces and a ♙ for a ♖. It still looks better for black than what was played. |

You have wrong numbers of moves, nevertheless.
But after 12.Rxe7 Qxe7 13.Qf3 Bg4 14.Qf4 Nh5 15.Qxg4 f6 white has no any brilliance. |

 | | Jimfromprovidence: Like a lot of kibitzers have said, 13...Bg4 busts up the brilliancy. It's interesting to see what happens if white continues with the same plan as in the text, following 13...Bg4 with 14 Qf4.

|
| Jul-27-13 | | PositionalTactician: To Jimfromprovidence:
I totally agree with your line, but I disagree with your opinion that White's brilliancy is busted. In the other lines, White can win 2 pieces for the rook and obtain better position (for example after Qf4 Kg7 try Bxf6 followed by Qxg4) Of course the game will continue, but I think that such sidelines with comfortable advantage, instead of ruining the brilliancy, actually reinforces the soundness of it. Cheers! |

| Jul-27-13 | | M.Hassan: <newzild: <M.Hassan> Your move 17...Rd8 doesn't make any sense, because White can simply play 18. Bxd8.> It makes lots of sense. It means take me (the Rook) instead of mating me. If Rook moves to e8, it is as follows: 17...........Re8
18.Nd6 Re6 as you mention
19.Qh6 Rxf6
20.Ne8 threatening mate on g7
20..........Qf8
21.Nxf6+ Kh8
22.Qxf8# |

| Jul-27-13 | | patcheck: Material is equal. There are many possible tries to take advantage of the pinned knight :
A) 12. Qe2 or Qe3 to what black should answer 12. … Be6 (not 12. … Re8? 13. Bxf6 and white wins a piece) and black may be able to defend its position B) 12. Qf3 threatening Rxe7 followed by Bxf6 to what black could maybe answer12. … Be6 [12. … Re8? 13. Bxf6 Bxf6 14. Rxe8+ Qxe8 15. Qxf6 winning the bishop / 12. … Bg4 ?! 13. Qf4 Nh5?! 14. Nxh5 Bxg5 15. Qxg4 gxh5 16. Qxh5 winning a pawn with a good position / 12. … Kg7 seems risky after 13. Qf4 threatening 14. Qf6+ winning the quality] C) 12. Re5 with many threats and a big difficulty for black to defends itself, for instance 12. … Bd6 13. Re1 and black can’t play 13. … Bxe5 14. fxe5 loosing the pinned knight. D) 12. Rxe7 Qxe7 13. Qf3 Kg7 (not 13. … Bf5 14. Nxf5 gxf5 15. Qxf5 and black lost a pawn without solving its problems) with two interesting options for white : 14. Nce4 or 14. Qf4 D1) 14. Nce4 dxe4 [not 14. … Bg4 15. Bxf6+ Kg8 16. Qxg4 winning for white, nor 14. … Qxe4?? 15. Qxf6+ Kg8 16. Bh6 and black has to give its queen to avoid the mate in g7. Doesn’t work either 14. … Nxe4 15. Bxe7 Nd2 16. Bf6+ Kg8 17. Qf4 and black can’t avoid Qh6 followed by Qg7#] 15. Nxe4 D1a) 15. … Qxe4 16. Qxf6+ Kg8 17. Bh6 and as we saw, black has to give its queen to avoid mate. D1b) 15. … Nxe4 16. Bxe7 Nd2 17. Bf6+ Kg8 18. Kf4 and black is lost in the same way we’ve seen before. So, there is no need to check the line D2 (12. Rxe7 Qxe7 13. Qf3 Kg7 14. Qf4) because we just saw that 14. Nce4 wins for white. In conclusion, I think that 12. Re5 should be too a winning line for white but 12. Rxe7 Qxe7 13. Qf3 seems a more forcing line. Time to check |

| Jul-27-13 | | BOSTER: <Positional Tactician White can win 2 pieces for the rook>. But I'm not really sure that you can win the ending two knight plus pawns vs rook with pawns. |
|
| Jul-27-13 | | thegoodanarchist: Since 12 is my favorite number, I couldn't be happier that today's puzzle began with move 12! It's the little things that mean a lot.... |
|
| Jul-27-13 | | thegoodanarchist: <ray keene: ing german abbreviation for engineer-an honoured title implying real achievement> It's nice to have a European (and GM at that!) roaming these pages to explain such things. |

 | | LIFE Master AJ: There are very few books - that I know of on Spielmann. I have one, I like it a lot. "The Chess Career of Rudolf Spielmann, <Vol. I> 1903-1926." (Edited and arranged by Jack L. Spence. Published in Omaha, NEB, 1961; Alfred Kalnaj's Printing Co.) Little red book, I have searched in vain for Volume II, I must assume that it was never printed. (Does anyone know differently?) This game is the last game of that book. |
|
| Jul-30-13 | | SimonWebbsTiger: @<AJ>
VOL II was never printed. |
|
| Jul-14-14 | | The Snark: This is game seven in Chernev's "Logical Chess Move by Move" book.He considers the move 9...g6 to be the key mistake for black, since it removes the knight's protection, as well as leaving the h6 square vulnerable. |
|
| Jan-28-21 | | SeanAzarin: Ein stärkerer Spieler |
|
| Jul-31-21 | | Saniyat24: This variation of the game is named after Ludvig Oskar Svenonius, there are 5 games of him in the database.. |
|
| Aug-13-21 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: "Wahl" means choice in German. It also means vote. So there's lots of pun potential in this name. |
|
| Aug-13-21 | | ajile: Generally not a great idea for Black to play ..g6 this early when behind in development and when he can't quickly defend his K-side dark squares with ..Bg7. |
|

 | | Teyss: 12.White to play was a puzzle back in 2013. Interesting posts above notably on why the same combination fails to 13...Bg4 even though White still has an advantage after that. Regardless of Black's play, 12.Rxe7! and 14.Nce4!! are brilliant. In case anybody is wondering, 14.Nge4 also wins. |

| | Teyss: <OCF> Thanks for the info. The pun is even better when considering the movie is partly German whilst both players are Austrian, a German-speaking country.
Also both their first names begin with "R" just as Rider does.
Last, the game was played in 1926 so 1+9+2+6=18 and 1+8=9. The novel is from 1987 and the movie from 2002 so 1+9+8+7+2 (millenium doesn't count)=27 and 2+7=9. A multi-dimension pun.<offramp> Can't believe you didn't figure this one out. |
