1.e4 {Notes by Jacques Mieses.} e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bb5
Nd4 5.Bc4 Bc5 6.Nxe5 Qe7 7.Nf3 {Bad is 7.Nxf7? d5, or 7.Bxf7+?
Kd8 and after 8...d6 White loses a piece.} d5 8.Nxd4 {?! Here
White has an opportunity to refute the opponent's variation by
playing 8.Bxd5 Nxd5 9.Nxd4! Nf4! 10.Qf3 Qg5 11.Nb3! Nxg2+
12.Kf1 Nf4 13.d4, and White wins. *** This "refutation" by
Mieses is incorrect as Bernstein-Rubinstein, Vilna 1912
(Rubinstein answered 8.Bxd5 with 8...Bg4! offering a second
pawn for an attack which fully compensates for the sacrificed
material), and analysis by Rudolf Spielmann shows.} dxc4 9.Nf3

advantage. If 20.Be3 f5!.} Rc2 {!} 21.Bxd6 cxd6 22.Rfe1 {Or
22.Rfc1 Rc8 23.Rxc2 Bxc2 24.Ra3 a5! with advantage.} Rxc3
23.Re7 Rb8 24.a5 {Perhaps 24.Rae1 offers more drawish
chances.} Kf8 25.Rd7 {This loses an exchange, but after any
other moves Black remains with an extra pawn.} Bf5 26.Rxd6 Be6
27.Rb1 {With the idea if 27...Ke7 28.Ra6. Deserving attention
was 27.Re1 threatening Ng5. If then 27...Ke7 28.Rd5!, but
Black has 27...Rbc8 28.Kh2 Ra3, with a win after the capture
of the a-pawn.} Rc7 {!} 28.Ra6 Ra8 29.Rxe6 fxe6 30.Ng5 Ke7
