1. d4 e6 2. c4 f5 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. a3 White wants to prevent Bb4, but it is a waste of time. 4... Be7 5. e3 O-O 6. Bd3 d5! The bishop on c1 has no immediate future. 7. Nf3 c6 8. O-O Ne4 9. Qc2 Bd6 10. b3 Nd7 11. Bb2 Rf6 12. Rfe1 Rh6 With the threat 13... Bxh2+ and 14... Qh4+ 13. g3 Qf6 14. Bf1 g5 15. Rad1 g4 16. Nxe4 Forced. If 16. Nd2 then 16... Nxf2 and of course 16. Nh4 is met by 16...Rxh4 16... fxe4 17. Nd2 Rxh2!! 18. Kxh2 Qxf2+ 19. Kh1 Nf6! Reinforcements are coming! 20. Re2 Qxg3 21. Nb1 Nh5 22. Qd2 Bd7! The white pieces have no space and Tartakower calmly finishes his development. 23. Rf2 To prevent 23... Rf8 23... Qh4+ 24. Kg1 Bg3! 25. Bc3 Bxf2+ 26. Qxf2 g3 27. Qg2 Rf8 Now 28... Rf2 is serious. 28. Be1 Rxf1+! 29. Kxf1 e5 30. Kg1 30. Ke2 Bg4+ 31. Kd2 Qh2 30... Bg4 31. Bxg3 31. Rd2 Bf3 32. Bxg3 Nxg3 33. Qh2 Qxh2+ 34. Rxh2 exd4 35. exd4 Ne2+ and wins. 31... Nxg3 32. Re1 Nh5 33. Qf2 Qg5 34. dxe5 Bf3+ 35. Kf1 Ng3+ Resigned. If 36. Kg1 then 36... Nh1+ 0-1 [P. Atzer (2300)]

1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. e3 Nf6 4. Nc3 g6 5. Nf3 Bg7 6. Be2 O-O 7. O-O Nbd7? Now white gets control of the c-file. 8. cxd5! Nxd5 9. Nxd5 cxd5 10. Qb3 Nf6 11. Bd2 Ne4 12. Rfd1 Nxd2 13. Rxd2 Qd6 14.

Rdc8 23. Nxb8 Rxb8 24. Bxb5! If now 24... axb5 then 25. Qa7 and wins. 24... Bd8 25. Be8 Qf8 Rubinstein would probably have enjoyed the endgame after 25... Bxc7 26. Qxc7 Qxc7 27. Rxc7 Rxe8 28. Rxb7 26. Rxb7 Bxa5 27. Rxb8 Qd6 28. Rb7 Bb6 29. Rc6 Qb4 30. Bxf7+ 1-0

1. d4 e6 2. Nf3 c5 3. e3 Nf6 4. Bd3 b6 5. O-O Bb7 6. Nbd2 cxd4 7. exd4 Be7 8. Re1 O-O 9. c3 d6 10. Qe2 Re8 11. Nf1 Nbd7 12. Ng3 Bf8 13. Bg5 h6?! 14. Bd2 Qc7 15. Bc2 Makes e6-e5 less dangerous and prepares the cannon 16. Qd3 etc. 15... Bd5 16. b3 Qb7 "Fasten seatbelts, and no smoking" as Hoi wrote in his comments. 17. Nh4! Provokes a black advance on the king's side. 17... b5 18. Qd3 Now black must prevent 19. Nh5 followed by 20. Re3 and 21. Rg3 with a strong attack. 18... g5 19. Nf3 Bxf3? Better 19... Bg7 20. gxf3 Bg7 21. h4! gxh4 22. Ne4 Qc6 23. Kh1 Nh5 Threatens to win a piece with 24... f5 To continue the attack white must sacrifice. 24. Rg1! Kf8 Even if it looks very dangerous black should have played 24... f5 25. Bxh6 fxe4 26. Qe3! Re7! with a very messy position. After Kf8 it seems to be a forced win. 25. Rxg7! Kxg7 25... Nxg7 26. Bxh6 26. Bxh6+! 26. Rg1+ Kf8 27. Bxh6+ Ke7 is unclear. 26... Kxh6 27. Rg1! Blocks the escape route. 27... f5 27... Nf4 28. Ng5!! f5 29. Qe3 e5 30. Nf7+ Kh7 31. Bxf5+ 28. Qe3+ f4 28... Kh7 29. Qg5 29.

Kg2 and white wins due to the exposed black king. 31. Qh7+!! Comments based on Carsten Hoi's in Skakbladet 1988. 1-0

The chess piece set is based on the font Chess Merida by Armando Marroquin.

Notice that opening names and annotation symbols are tooltipped - when the mouse hovers a small text window appears with extended information. Playable null moves are used sometimes in the comments. For instance in the first game 13...Bxh2 and 14...Qh4 are replayed with no white moves in between.
