Oct-11-07  ounos: Superb attack by Tarrasch!
Oct-11-07  sambo: indeed!

19.? could be a Thursday puzzle- it's all forced, but still one heck of a line to compute

Dec-26-09  wordfunph: beautiful 19.Qxh7+!
siegbert tarrasch at his best!
Dec-26-09  mysql: nice combination

  An Englishman: Good Evening: Indeed, a great combination. It's probably already too late to save the game, but 15...d4 might have been better.

  Richard Taylor: Another beautiful mate here is if after 20. Rh3+

20. ... Nh5 21. Rxh5+ Kg8 22. Rh8! Nxh8 23. Nh6# !!

Tarrasch - incredible player.

Jul-05-11  ahmadov: I played through this game on guess the move but failed to gain the average point (40)... :-(
Jul-05-11  ahmadov: 16.Ng4 was something I missed... However, it is an incredible move which could be followed by 17.Nf6+ gxf 18.exf which leaves Black helpless after 19.Qh6 followed by 20.Qg7#
Jan-10-14  TheTamale: Bravo! What a finish!

Tarrasch at his brilliant best.

Tarrasch's chum, Nimzovitch, would have loved the backward Knight move and subsequent Knight's tour (move 14.)

Tarrach hops the Knight from c3-d1-f2-g4 and it ends up mating Black on move 24 with Nh6.

Wonderful.

Jan-10-21  ZoneChess: Wonderfully done and entertaining the crowd with the queen sac. However this is a mate in 8 and there is a mate in 6 with 19. Nh6+ Kh8 20. Bxg7+ Kxg7 21. Rf7+ Rxf7 22. Rxf7+ Kh8 23. Qe5+ Nxe5 24. Rxh7#
Jan-10-21  sudoplatov: Seems like Tarrasch was an early follower of the Danish School.
Aug-01-21  Nosnibor: According to Irving Chernev this was a casual game played at Munich in 1915 and not 1914. There is a further casual game played in Munich 1915 and that is against Thoma.

  GrahamClayton: With both bishops, rooks, knight and queen pointing at Satzinger's king, it is obvious that Tarrasch will win, but the queen sacrifice with 19. Qh7+ leads to a nice finish.
