  Honza Cervenka: 13...Rxf3! is a nice shot!
Mar-05-08  Voltaic: a similar idea to that of a sicilian Rxc3 and then e4 is weak.

i wonder if white's set-up, 8.nd1, 9.f4. 10.c3, was the "std" plan of the time to counter Tarrasch's expected siege of the center with c and f, for nd1 seems either bold or odd already without castling.

Dec-02-18  Dijon15: Tarrasch had played the same 13...Rxf3 sac two rounds earlier vs von Gottschall, who lasted 10 moves longer.
