May-24-18 Marshall vs Schlechter, 1911

| ArfurDogfrey: Famous ending. Schlechter's blunder (61....Ke4??) has made it into a lot of endgame books. Many players still think that "taking the opposition" is always the thing to do. I call ideas like that "rules of thumb for players who are all thumbs." |

| ArfurDogfrey: If 10. O-O then Nxd3 11. Qxd3 Bg4 wins the exchange, but that seems to be the best that White has; Black's threats are too much. 10. b3?? seems to be defending against the threat 10....Nxd3 11. Qxd3 Qxb2 |
