Feb-20-22 Hecht vs H Schaufelberger, 1973

| 1stboard: Am I missing some thing in Black resigning ??
If black plays 23 Qc5 then what move does white play on move 24 ?? His ( white ) queen is enprise and has to defend against the black threat of Qxc2 and the bank rank mate. |

| 1stboard: In Irving Chernev's book 1000 best short games of Chess. Tarrasch's quickest defeat.
Black walks into a crusher with white's 11th move. Chernev does not show the rest of game but says Black has seen enough ..... |
