  keypusher: Tartakower must have loved playing his last move, 32....g4+. The pawn can be taken three ways, one of them with check, and yet all three captures lose immediately!
Feb-05-07  suenteus po 147: Though he was born in Russia, Tartakower grew up in Vienna. I wonder if playing the Vienna Opening was a bit like coming home for Savielly.

  SwitchingQuylthulg: It's called Vienna because this Viennese master was the first to really analyse it: Carl Hamppe

Wow, looks like you are right! I thought White gets mated after 33. Kxg4 h5+, but after 34. Kxh5 I can't find it...

  Benzol: Jacques Mieses played in Game Collection: Hastings 1945/46 aged eighty. This game was played in the first round. It was fifty years since he played in the first Hastings Tt in 1895. Also interesting is the fact that he and his opponent Tartakower share the same birthday.

  Tabanus: Evening Telegraph, Monday 31 December 1945:

<Surprise was felt when Herr J. Mieses, the 81 years old man without a country now awaiting British naturalisation, gave up in his first round game with Dr. S. Tartakower, the Polish master. Many thought that Herr Mieses, playing white, could at least have forced a draw. The reason for his decision to give up after 32 moves has now been disclosed. At one period towards the close of the game he could have taken a black pawn with his king but he thought it was protected by his opponent's knight. Actually it was his own white knight which threatened instead of protected the black pawn. When Herr Mieses discovered this he was so demoralised by his elementary mistake that he later resigned.>
