{MITTELGAMBIT} 1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. Qxd4 {Es leuchtet ein, dass derartige
Damenbewegungen in der Eröffnung nicht geeignet sind, das Anzugstempo zu
bewahren. Schwarz muss aber sehr sorgfältig vorgehen, um dem Gegner keine
Gelegenheit zu einem Angriff gegen seinen König oder selbst gegen seine
zentrale Stellung zu geben, da die weißen Dame von g3 aus doch einen gewissen
Druck ausüben wird.} Nc6 4. Qe3 Be7 ({Schwarz konnte auch} 4... Nf6 {
versuchen, da die Variante} 5. e5 Ng4 6. Qe4 d5 7. exd6+ Be6 8. Ba6 Qxd6 9.

etwas gewagt aussieht, erlaubt in derTat dem Schwarzen, seinen
Entwicklungsvorsprung am zweckmäßigsten zu verwenden.} ({Nach} 7... d6 {
bliebe das Spiel halb geschlossen und Weiß hätte die nötige Zeit gehabt,
seine Entwicklung zu vollenden.}) 8. exd5 Nxd5 9. Qg3 Bh4 10. Qf3 ({Damit

Verwicklungen seinen Vorteil behaupten würde.}) 11. Be3 $1 {Damit wird die
folgende Kombination direkt herausgefordert,} Nxc3 {Damit erhält Schwarz Turm,
Springer und einen Bauern für die Dame bei überlegenen Stellung- also ein
vollkommen genügendes Äquivalent.} ({Die Variante} 11... Nce7 12. Qh5 {
nebst c4 usw. wäre fehlerhaft.}) 12. Rxd8 Nxa2+ 13. Kb1 Raxd8 14. Be2 Nab4 15.

Damenläufer abzutauschen.} Be4 19. Qh3 Bf6 20. Bf3 Bxf3 {Erzwingt den
erwähnten erleichternden Abtausch. Schwarz behält aber trotzdem einen
gewaltigen Druck.} 21. Qxf3 Ne5 22. Qe2 {Es ist klar, dass das Wegnehmen von
b7 einen unwiderstehlichen kombinierten Angriff (b- Linie und schräge a1-h8)
verursachen würde.} c5 {Ein sehr wichtiger Zug, welcher dem schwarzen Angriff
neues Leben gibt. Er pariert nämlich die} 23. Rg1 ({gegnerische
Vereinfachungsdrohung} 23. c3 Nbd3 24. Nxd3 Nxd3 25. Rd1 {usw. aufs wirksamste
und verleitet dadurch den Gegner, sein Heil in einem wenig aussichtsreichen
Gegenspiel auf dem rechten Flügel zu suchen.}) 23... c4 24. h4 Nd5 $1 {
Die damit hervorgerufenen Verwicklungen erfordern eine weitere
Vorausberechnung.} 25. Nxd5 Rxd5 26. f4 ({Falls} 26. g5 Bg7 27. Rd1 {so} Rb5
28. Bd4 Re6 {gleichfalls zum Vorteil von Schwarz.}) 26... Nd3 $1 {Damit wird
die nun schutzbedürftige Stellung des Läufers e3 sofort ausgenutzt.} 27. Qf3
(27. cxd3 Rxd3 28. Rg3 Bd4 29. Qc2 Bxe3 30. Qxc4 Red8 {und Schwarz steht zwar
besser, doch sollte Weiß diese Variante dem Textzug, welcher eine neue,
diesmal entscheidende Opferwendung ermöglicht, entschieden vorziehen.}) 27...

entgegengesetzten Meinung der gesamten derzeitigen Kritik) wäre auf die Dauer

gegen die Drohungen 35. ... Txc1+, 35. ... d2 oder 35. ...Tb1gehabt hätte}) {
Diese komplexe Feststellung ist wichtig für die Beurteilung des Wertes sowohl
des Damenopfers im 11. Zuge als auch der Schlusskombination dieser
gehaltvollen und eigenartigen Partie.} 31... Rcc2 32. Ke1 Rb1+ 33. Qd1 Bc3+ {
