  Honza Cervenka: Pretty game with a little bit unusual opening line in Ruy Lopez and quite interesting fight.

  Benzol: I've never seen the 3...♕f6 variation before. At one stage I thought Black had the better of it.

  Honza Cervenka: 22...f6 was a blunder which could have been punished immediately by 23.d6! Black should have played 22...d6.

46...Qg4 was a decisive mistake. Black should have played 46...Kh7 with idea 47.e6 dxe6 48.Re5 Qg7 49.Nh5 (49.Rh5+?! gives nothing for 49...Kg8, which is the point of 46...Kh7) 4í...Qh6 50.Qxh4 Rf8 51.Nf6+ Rxf6 52.Rh5 Qxh5 53.Qxh5+ Kg7, which should be defensible. In the game 47...dxe6 is not viable option for 48.Re5 and against 49.Rh5+ there is no satisfactory defence.

In the chess encyclopedia by Władysław Litmanowicz and Jerzy Giżycki: "Szachy od A do Z" (Chess from A to Z), Warsaw 1986 on page 866 the authors listed this variant as <Paulsen's continuation in the Spanish Game>. They annotated it with the following comment: <This is how Paulsen played during the tournament in Frankfurt am Main in 1887. Euwe calls this variant the "Frankfurt defense">.
