  wwall: This game was played at the 4th Hungarian Chess Championship.

Looks like 20...Rd8?? is the losing move, allowing for a check, then a discovered check, winning the queen. Black had to avoid this by moving his queen, such as 20...Qb4 21.a3 Qb7.

After 22.Re8+, now 22...Rxe8 23.Rxe8+ Kxe8 24.Bb5+ and 25.Qxd4.

Reti was 23 years old and ended up in 11th-12th place. Szekely tied for 7th-8th place. The event was won by Gyula Breyer.
