  offramp: This match may have taken place at the same time as Lasker - Capablanca World Championship Match (1921), but this match seems more modern.

White played 15.cxd5.

Black made an automatic recapture:
15...exd5.
There was a hard-to-see win with
15...Ba6!-+. If the Rf1 moves then ...Bd3 wins.
*****
Rook forks are probably the rarest forks, but look at this.

19. Rxc7. This forks Black's two bishops. Black should have responded with 19...Bb4, but instead he played
19...Rac8
20. Rxe7 Rc2. Another rook fork.

*****
Later on White played 26.Rb8+, and the reply 26...Rf8 was forced. White then exchanged rooks, and his game was hopeless.
He could have tried 27. Rb7!

The threat from White now is 28.Ne6, when Black cannot protect his g-pawn.
*****
To finish the game Black comes out, not with another rook fork, but a rook skewer.

33...Nxe3
35. Nxe3 Re1.-+

It's not quite a GG: it's a fair game. There is something weird about the Dutch Defence. Dutch games always seem a bit artificial. Black played very well, though.
