 | | FSR: <morfishine> For another cool Nimzowitsch miniature, see Nimzowitsch vs Alapin, 1914. |
|

| | FSR: More Nimzo fun: Nimzowitsch vs Ryckhoff, 1910. |
|
Dec-29-12
| | FSR: He wasn't too shabby in odds games, either: Nimzowitsch vs Leelaus, 1910
Nimzowitsch vs NN, 1910 |
|
| Dec-29-12 | | DanielBryant: I seriously doubt I would have found 15.Qf6 over the board. |
|
Dec-29-12
| | FSR: On 14...f5, White wins with 15.Qd5! Qf6 (15...Qd7 16.Qd4! intending 17.Qf6+!) 16.Bg5! c6 17.Qd2! |
|
| Dec-29-12 | | Kikoman: I will see this game over the board sooner or later. *smirk* |
|
| Dec-29-12 | | Naugh: Poor Tartakower, he seems to have been the butt of many miniatures. |
|
| Dec-29-12 | | Travis Bickle: I don't think I ever seen such a demolition in so few moves! ; P |
|
| Dec-29-12 | | Kikoman: What a mating attack by White. :O
<17. Bxf7!!> Δ Re8+. If 17. ...Qxf7 then 18. Qd8+ and mate follows.
If 17. Rxf7 then 18. Qh8+ mate. :O |
|
| Dec-29-12 | | 12.12.12: overwhelming lead in development + commanding space advantage = pretty crush |
|

| | FSR: <Travis Bickle: I don't think I ever seen such a demolition in so few moves! ; P > Tartakower's been smashed faster than that: Reti vs Tartakower, 1910. So has Lasker, and in a tournament game: H Caro vs Lasker, 1890. And then there's Yermolinsky vs E Tate, 2001. |
|
| Dec-29-12 | | Abdel Irada: Incredibly, and in spite of his dubious opening play, I think Black can escape with only slight disadvantage after 11. ...c6. Play might continue 12. Qd6†, Be7 13. Bg5, Bxd6 14. Bxd8, c5 with near-equality. (Black can also consider 13. ...f6, although it looks awfully fishy after 14. Bf4.) |

 | | beatgiant: <Abdel Irada>
I agree that <11...c6> is a lot better than the game line, but why would White exchange queens in this situation? He could play simply 12. Qd6+ Be7 <13. Qg3> d5 14. Bd3 with what looks like more than a slight edge to me. |
|
| Dec-29-12 | | Abdel Irada: In either case, White retains a clear positional edge, but Black at least need not have been obliterated. |
|
| Dec-29-12 | | kevin86: Sharp double pin at move fifteen!
Tarta sure loses some brilliant games,true? |
|
| Dec-29-12 | | Gilmoy: This pun is really mean! :handsonhips: Y'all stooping to the low fruit. AN (sotto voce): some games title themselves
ST (from across room): I heard that! |

 | | perfidious: As <FSR> noted, nothing wrong with either 4....Bb4 or 4....Nd4, but both have their drawbacks if Black is playing for a win and White, rather less so. After 4....Bb4 5.0-0 0-0, White can play 6.Bxc6 (Opening Explorer) and avoid the intricacies of such lines as the Metger Unpin. Rubinstein's 4....Nd4 is a more enterprising try, but if White wishes, there is always 5.Nxd4 exd4 6.e5 dxc3 7.exf6, when it is generally regarded as hazardous to snatch the pawn on offer with 7....cxd2+, though Black won the following game in this (P Lewin vs Adams, 1999) after 8.Qxd2. The natural 8.Bxd2 looks stronger; indeed, White has done well after the move, and in my opinion, has an easier game to play. White's score in this DB after 7.exf6 Qxf6 is minus; without delving into particulars of all the 200+ games in this DB, my suspicion is that weaker players have often played into this (very drawish) line in attempts to gain their desired outcome. |

| Dec-29-12 | | Jambow: Rather romantic era looking game from the hypermodern innovator and writer. Nice game though pin to win! |
|
| Dec-29-12 | | Abdel Irada: <indeed, White has done well after the move, and in my opinion, has an easier game to play.> Yesterday
White had such an easy game to play,
But now it's not half the opening it used to be.
Oh, White longs for yesterday-ay-ay. |

| | perfidious: <Abdel Irada> Might Kasparov have hummed that version when reviving such open games as the Evans and Scotch? We shall never know. |
|
| Dec-30-12 | | Abdel Irada: <perfidious: <Abdel Irada> Might Kasparov have hummed that version when reviving such open games as the Evans and Scotch? We shall never know.> On the other hand, we can be virtually certain he hummed *something* after opening (and draining) a bottle each of scotch and Evan Williams. |
|
| Jan-09-16 | | TheFocus: A blitz game played during some free time during the Karlsbad 1911 tournament. See <Deutsche Scachzeitung>, March 1914. |
|
| Jan-10-16 | | RookFile: 11....d5 is worth a thought, shedding a pawn. It gives black time to get his pieces into the game or trade queens. Clearly white is playing for the win but anything beats getting murdered in a few moves. |
