  Phony Benoni: After <31.Kg2>:

Instead of our 31..Qg5+. <Chess Review> July 1936, p. 161> gives 31...Qg4+. While Black wins after either, 31...Qg4+ is considerably stronger. That doesn't prove it's right, but marks this as something worth investigating.

A difference in rank (especially 4th vs. 5th) is often a 'translation" error between Algebraic and Descriptive. A person used to Descriptive sees 31...Qg5+, and assumes that means 31,,..Q-Kt5+ .

The problem in this game is that we don't know which way a possible mistranslation may have gone.

The game also appeared in <Wiener Scach-Zeitung>, June 1936, p168, with 31...Qg5+. However, WSz cites as its source <Chess> (the British magazine edited by B. H. Wood), which used Descriptive So, if there is a translation problem here, it could have gone either way.

If anyone can check the volume of <Chess> covering early 1936, maybe we can get a better handle on this.. I do hope Lundin played the stronger 31...Qg4+. I hate to thnk that Lundin's chess was falling down.
