Tournament game, Halle 1883
Siegbert Tarrasch vs. Bernhard Richter
Annotated by last_archimedean (1564): A typical 19th-century chess game: both players attack until the moment the game ends. Tarrasch uses an English Opening. Richter responds with a Dutch Defense.

I have a friend (who's a rather stronger player than I am) who loves…

Annotated by another_ken (1200): ? Black should not be distracted and must continue developing, else he will soon run out of time. White's h-pawn now has something to attack... !

dmaestro (1647) vs. jstevens1 (1689)
Annotated by jotheblackqueen (1200): 1. ............. f5 - the Anglo-Dutch Defense. This could lead to a very sharp opening and it does. 2. ......... fxe4 - a gambit, eh?
