  Honza Cervenka: Fine game and smooth win of Taubenhaus.
Jan-30-16  zanzibar: Have to wonder about Blackburne's determination, being a piece down after 37.Qxd8:

(Black to move)

He decides to soldier on in a clearly lost game for another ten moves.

I guess he was hoping Taubenhaus' technical abilities might go for a snooze, or what?

(Did Taubenhaus have a reputation for losing won games? Or is this just typical Blackburne play?)

Just finished writing that when I see the Field's notes has this after 37...Qxe5:

<(k) Black may as well resign here, but of course it is played out as a matter of duty.>

Ah... duty.
