| May-28-13 | | TheFocus: Reti was born in 1889, so I guess he was about 11 when he thought of this trap? |
|
| May-28-13 | | TheFocus: If he waited 10 years to spring the trap, then he was 11 in 1900. |

| Mar-20-14 | | Makavelli II: Brilliant little game. Annotations from a book :)
GAME NO. 35
White: Reti. Black: Tartakower.
Caro-Kann Defence.
1. P-K4 P-QB3
2. P-Q4 P-Q4
3. Kt-QB3 PxP
4. KtxP Kt-KB3
5. Q-Q3
White wishes to castle as soon as possible on the Queen's side, in order to operate on the Queen's file with the help of the Rook. 5. ... P-K4
Here Black loses two moves in bringing White's centre pawn away. The manoeuvre therefore is not sound. QKt-Q2, KtxKt, and Kt-B3, or any other developing moves would be preferable. 6. PxP Q-R4ch
7. B-Q2 QxP
8. Castles!
Diag. 148
White prepares a magnificent mating combination, which can only be made possible at such an early stage, when the opponent has utterly neglected his development. 8. ... KtxKt
9. Q-Q8ch!! KxQ
10. B-Kt5 double ch K-B2
11. B-Q8 mate
A beautiful mate. If 11. ... K-K1, 11. R-Q8 mate. |

| Mar-20-14 | | Xeroxx: This game is famous. |
|
| Mar-21-14 | | Makavelli II: @Xeroxx. Apparently so :) I've always thought I could solve any mate in 3 if I know that the mate is there but im not so sure here

| Jun-25-14 | | sobic: Tartakower should have taken the knight with his queen and the game after 2 moves is equal. But thanks to his mistake we can enjoy over and over again this beautiful queen sacrifice by Mr Reti. |
|
| Jun-26-14 | | sobic: My mistake, Tartakower should have never taken that knight, because he loses queen after Re1. That knight was poisoned :) |

| Nov-05-14 | | Christoforus Polacco: One time in my life I played like grandmaster :) It was about 2 years ago.
I was playing against my simply chess program ''Chess Titans''. I like this programme because it isn't possible to place ready chess position and wait for computer's analyse - I must think myself.
I played at seventh level - so, it's about 1650-1700 Elo. And after a few moves my flesh crept and I could feel excitement - I played 5.Qd3 and comp 5....e5. It will be repetition from Vienna 1910 ??
After six moves I was sure ! - it's repetition from chess classic :) It was the only one time when me and my computer we played like grandmasters and both from world's top ten :) Me - like Reti and ''Chess Titans'' like my one of the best liked players : Ksawery Tartakower....
P.S.
I dont' remember if I mated comp by bishop or by rook :) - it's mixed real game with virtual :) But probably by the rook... |

| Jan-08-15 | | GoldenBird: 8...Nxe4 was the critical error, perhaps Be7 would've saved the day |
|
| Jan-27-15 | | TangoJoseph: sobic: Tartakower should have taken the knight with his queen and the game after 2 moves is equal. But thanks to his mistake we can enjoy over and over again this beautiful queen sacrifice by Mr Reti. how about niether QxN or Nxn but rather just simple Be7 ! |
|
| Aug-18-15 | | nilanjanasm: There is something wrong in the game. The last moves were ke8, rd8# instead of kc7 bd8#. I saw this in my book |

 | | Phony Benoni: A kibitz from some time ago,
<Oct-05-04 <InspiredByMorphy>: According to the round # this game happened before the first round - 0.44 ! A very similar queen sac and mate is in the following game Maczuski vs Kolisch, 1864> In fact, "44" was apparently a reference to Chernev's "1000 Best Short Games of Chess", where this appears as game 44. I have deleted it from the round number field. |

| Jul-19-16 | | zanzibar: OK, I'll buy <FSR>'s assertion that this was a skittle's game. The question then becomes - where was it (i.e. Reti's Mate) first published? |
|
| Jul-19-16 | | zanzibar: Edward Winter discusses the game a little here:
http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... Probably the Event tag should be "casual". |
|
| Oct-16-16 | | Christoforus Polacco: @ TangoJoseph.
It's doesn't matter :) My comp (''Chess Titans') took also the knight by Queen and he lost her .... After simply 9.Re1 |

 | | Penguincw: 10.Bg5 double check. Gorgeous move. The bishop or rook can be blocked/captured in 13 different ways, but doesn't matter. Double check the king always moves. |
|
| Feb-04-20 | | pajaste: This game is partly replayed in the episode 'observer effect' in Star Trek :Enterprise 4th season.
In the episode Mayweather forfeits to tactical officer Reed on move 6 stating, "you win in five." |

| Oct-21-20 | | Whitehat1963: One of my all-time favorite miniatures. If it’s never been a puzzle before, it’s long overdue! |

 | | Jonathan Sarfati: This game was also played in the Netflix series Queen's Gambit based on the book of that name.
In the first episode, the heroine Elizabeth Harmon played the highschool coach Mr Ganz including the last moves few moves blindfold. |

In the first episode, the heroine Elizabeth Harmon played the highschool coach Mr Ganz including the last moves few moves blindfold.> I just watched that episode and came here. I recognised it after 6...Qa5+ 7.Bd2 Qxe5. I was thinking, "Surely not Reti-Tartakower, they wouldn't be so cheeky..." But they were. I was amused. |

| | Jonathan Sarfati: <Monocle:> This also wasn't the first to be cheeky enough to show the Morphy Opera game. An episode of the rebooted Hawaii Five-O series showed it too. But I suppose that we should be thankful that they used a real game, unlike the bad old days with black in the right corner. Morphy vs Duke Karl / Count Isouard, 1858 |
