Defence Sources: Tartakower & du Mont, 500 Master Games of Chess, pp. 66-67;
Evans, The World's Greatest Chess Games, pp43-44. All comments are
Tartakower's unless otherwise noted. In the following game the preliminary
sparring (moves 8-21) is characterised by desperate pawn skirmishes. The real
battle begins with a double pawn sacrifice (22....g5), which gives Black the
mastery over the g and h files, on which he stages an impressive regrouping of
forces (28....Rh8). His powerful strategy culminates in the sacrifice of a
Rook (31....Rh1+), the sequel to which is the loss by White of his queen.} 1.
