 | | notyetagm: 18 ... ?
click for larger view18 ...  d6-b4!!
click for larger viewIt never ceases to amaze me what you can do on the chess board when you have *immense* <TACTICAL SKILL>, like Charousek did back then and Carlsen, Aronian, etc. do today. |

| Jun-05-10 | | Coolin: Four pieces en prise after 18...Bb4? Amazing. |
|
| Dec-18-11 | | eSpade: It seems that in this game... Maroczy is in a bind :) |
|
| Dec-18-11 | | King Death: < eSpade: It seems that in this game... Maroczy is in a bind> White does a lot better here if he avoids 4.Qe2 and sticks with the main line of 4.d3 Nf6 5.de Ne4 6.Nf3 Bc5 7.Qe2. |

 | | sevenseaman: Gripping tension, all the way. I've never seen more pieces en prise in a game. Charousek leaves a lasting impression that he could create a work of art at will. This game shows you cannot place a limit on the profundity of chess. Of it I know a miniscule little but I feel proud, perhaps my best trophy. "Maroczy Bound" is so apt. Aren't both of them Czechs? |
|
| Jan-12-12 | | LoveThatJoker: Charousek!! In this game, all I can say about him is "What a beast!!" LTJ |

Hungarians.
(Charousek was born in Prague however.) |

| Jan-12-12 | | eSpade: Thanks to CG.com for choosing my pun for this game, and also to the masters for creating such a masterpiece :) |
|
| Jan-12-12 | | BlackSheep: Sublime play there by Charousek , shame he had such an early exit at 27. |

| Jan-12-12 | | piltdown man: Beautiful stuff. |
|
| Jan-12-12 | | Penguincw: Well, Maroczy wasn't that old at the time, was he? |
|
| Jan-12-12 | | ciberchess: Maroczy was 26 years old at that time, he was not a child. |

 | | kevin86: Strange,but by the end of the game,Maroczy position looks like he made about ten less moves than Charousek-kind of like LSU vs Alabama last Monday. |
|
| Jan-12-12 | | Llawdogg: Holy Crap! That took some nerve. |
|
| Jan-12-12 | | thendcomes: Poor play by Maroczy diminishes this game, IMO.
<Coolin> mentioned that four pieces are left en prise after 18...Bb4. I count only two - the Bishops on a4 and b4. The pinned c3 Pawn and d3 Bishop cannot move, so Black's Queen and e4 Rook are not en prise. |

| Jan-12-12 | | TheoNov: These two, esp Charousek, sure did love fireworks! Check this earlier encounter: Charousek vs Maroczy, 1893 |
|
| Jan-13-12 | | Rob Lob Law: is 19. cxb4 ok to play? I realize the queen can take the rook on a1 but then the b pawn can take the a4 bishop. Is white ok there? |
|

 | | Shams: <Rob Lob Law> It's like you're willing to hold chess notation by the hand, but not kiss it. :) 19.cxb4 Re3 20.Qf1 Bb5 looks good for Black, same problem as in the game. You are correct that White is fine on 19...Qxa1? |
|
| Jan-13-12 | | Rob Lob Law: <Shams> I just dont want to move to fast with chess notation... :P Yeah i missed Re3 because i thought bxa4 would compensate for the loss of queen (2 bishops and the rook for a queen and eventually 2 pawns). Now i see that 19 cxb4 Re3 bxa4 Qxd4 is mate. What a wicked position! Would white really be ok if 19 cxb4 Qxa1? The position seems unclear to me, and although white is up material after 20 bxa4, I think black might still have a slight edge due to the exposed king and scattered white pawns. |
