Nov-01-04 | | Theoryhack: A Well known trap. With a knight already on c6, Ng4 is playable and indeed is one of the major replies to the maroczy bind in the accelerated dragon. |

Feb-11-06 | | prosoccer: But why would black resign that quickly?? He was only down a knight?? What am I missing? |
|
Feb-11-06 | | TheParadigm: Down a whole knight with no compensation? That's more than enough to resign. |
|
Aug-27-06 | | sneaky pete: He should have resigned here, but he didn't, see K Rahn vs Rellstab, 1941. |

May-15-07 | | rook17: But K Rahn vs Rellstab, 1941 is different on move 7. does that mean that rellstab made the exact same mistake in the same year?? |

 | | FSR: Rellstab was a strong IM. I can't believe he fell into this twice, let alone against the same player in the same year. One of these game scores is wrong. |

 | | FSR: There are three possibilities: (1) Rellstab is an idiot who lost twice in the same year to the same player by falling into the same trap; (2) this game score is right, and the other game score (that given above by whiteshark, which is the same as the other score given on chessgames.com) is wrong; and (3) this game score is wrong and the other game score is right. Theory 1 makes no sense to me, since Rellstab was a strong player whom FIDE awarded the IM title in 1950 when it first awarded titles, and who became German champion the year after this game according to his chessgames biography. That leaves the remaining two theories. It seems a lot more likely to me that the source for the current game score got it wrong than that the source for the other game score somehow fantasized a nonexistent 25-move game. Thus, I'm going with theory 3. |

Feb-15-09 | | swarmoflocusts: This is why understanding the ideas of an opening (e.g. Ng4 is strong as it disrupts white's Dragon-Slayer Bishop, therefore white plays f3 to preserve it; white does not immediately have to play f3, however, as black's king is vulnerable until he has at least played Bg7, or Nc6 or 0-0) is more important than memorizing moves. |
|
Jun-08-09 | | WhiteRook48: also a fourth possibility: both game scores are wrong |
|
Jun-08-09 | | WhiteRook48: how did you get all of that? |
|
Oct-14-09 | | WhiteRook48: but it's probably theory 2, why wouldn't he resign? |

 | | perfidious: <FSR> Here's a game in which, according to Nunn, some magazines had Black giving up the ghost at move 10, but he writes that Georgiev spun it out to move 42, per the score given herein: Nunn vs Kiril Georgiev, 1988. On the other hand, there was a trap in the Exchange QGD into which Rubinstein actually fell-twice! |
