  offramp: I was interested in this game for one weak move.

BTW Mr Edo at edochess.ca reckons that in 1924 Grünfeld was a rocket-fuelled 2578, but Sándor Takács was 2408 - big difference.

Actually this game took place 100 years ago <TO THIS MINUTE>! Too late - the one-minute anniversary was 12 minutes ago.

Move 16, Black to play.

I think Black is doing well. I think he should play ...c6, followed with ...b5. He could also play ...Rb8 if he had the moment. Another strong idea is ...Qe8/d7 to ...Qa4 with a serious attack against the white king.

Of course, Black has to <KEEP HIS HANDS OFF THE KINGSIDE PAWNS!!!> that is a <sine qua non>.

Well in fact Takacs took the plunge and played...
16...f5.

Hmm. I believe this could be called a strategical error.
The game lasted about another 4 moves.
