11. Nc4 f6 |
Black has reinforced his e-pawn. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
12. a4 |
THis is a typical manoevre taking advantage of blacks dark square bishop's immobility. THe threat of a5 means forces black to move his a- pawn or c-pawn both of which are currently defending the bishop. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
12... c6 |
Black decides to choose the latter option. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
13. Nxb6 |
This is an effective move it exchanges his Knight which is ineffectively placed on the wing for a well placed Bishop that puts pressure on the centre. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
13... axb6 |
Now black has a semi-open file for the exchange, you'll see that this proves useful later on in the game. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
14. Qb3+ |
A queen fork! It forks the King and the hanging pawn on b6. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
14... Ne6 |
Black parries the King with his little horsey! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15. Qxb6 |
White takes the hanging pawn. One thing to not though is if you just take all the pieces of the board and just leave the Black pawn structure you can see that it is very solid. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15... g5 |
! Black attacks Whites weakened kingside. Even though it weakens his own kingside he feels that he doesn't have anything to lose as he has already had a setback in material. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16. Bc4 |
White ignores blacks threat on the kingside. He should have left his bishop on f1 to help defend and play16.g3, preventing Blacks ...Nf4. However if he did that he wouldn't of made this game this entertaining! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16... h6 |
This is so if white takes the e5 pawn he can retake with the f-pawn with out the risk of having the g5 Pawn taken by White's Knight on f3. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17. h4 |
? Whitebreaks the rule that you should not move the pawns on the side that is being attacked. Better would have been 17.d5 or 17.b3 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17... Kh7 |
I am not sure what the point of this move was. If you think you know please PM me. Maybe it was to support his Kingside advance. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18. hxg5 |
? Another childish move by Tartakower. Why is he opening the h-filefor Euwe to exploit. It makes no sense. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18... hxg5 19. dxe5 dxe5 20. Be3 Rh8 21. g3 |
? THis move must have been so frustrating for the people who watched this game. He again weakens his kingside. I think a better move would have would have been to evacuate the king via f1 and e2. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21... Kg6 |
Dr.Euwe decides to continue with his King sideadvance by riskily advancing his King, but he's gone this far he might as way go all the way! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22. Kg2 |
This is so he can play Rh1. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22... Nf4+ |
! This is a terrific sacrifice re-arranging the pawns that defend the white king. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23. gxf4 Bh3+ 24. Kg3 |
24. Kg1 gxf4 and white is in a lost position. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24... exf4+ 25. Bxf4 Qd7 |
Now there is a mating threat on g4. | ||||||
| | |||||||
