 | | tamar: An attacking masterpiece. |
|
| Apr-07-05 | | paladin at large: <tamar>It sure is! 16. h5 must have been a surprise to Teichmann, who thought that his seemingly dominantly posted knight on e4 would throttle Rubinstein's attack. 17...a6 shows that Teichmann still badly underestimated the white throng at his king's doorstep. |
|
| Aug-03-05 | | fgh: <aw1988>: Ok, I don't think this game is truly worth your collection. |
|
| Nov-09-05 | | KingG: I found this game to be very instructive. The bishop sacrifice 18 Bxh7+ is very thematic in these kind of positions and very useful to know. |

| | tamar: <paladin at large> The energy unleashed by a move like 16 h5 is still relevant today. Teichmann wasn't a pushover. He beat Spielmann 4-2 in 1914, but Rubinstein was capable of playing concepts years beyond his time. |
|
| May-25-06 | | TheoreticalNovelty: Marvellous game by Rubinstein!
7...b6 is a weak move to play. It allows White to castle Queenside (since the Black Queen is blocked from moving to a5), and start up a strong Kingside attack. |

 | | Pawn and Two: In the tournament at Carlsbad 1907, Teichmann played 11...Rc8 against Rubinstein. Schlechter later stated that Black's Queen Rook did not belong on the c-file and that Black should instead play for a counterattack by playing 11...c4 to be followed by a6, b5 and b4. Schlechter's recommendation of 11...c4, appears to be too slow in comparison to White's attack. In the above 1908 match game, Teichmann played Schlechter's recommendation of 11...c4, but Teichmann's move 11...Rc8, was better. Other reasonable choices for Black at move 11, are 11...Re8 or 11...a5. Additional research is needed, but Black's position may be defensible with any of these alternative moves. |

| | Pawn and Two: A review by Fritz 9 found an improvement for both Rubinstein and Teichmann. White has the advantage after 13.Bxf6, but even better for White at move 13 is 13.g4. Then if 13...Ne4 14.Nxe4 dxe4 15.Nd2 or 13...Nf8 14.Bxf6 Bxf6 15.g5 Be7 16.Ne5. At his 14th move, Teichmann missed 14...b5!. White still has the advantage but Black gets counterplay after 15.Nxb5 Qa5 16.Nc3 Bb4 17.g5 Ne4 18.Bxe4 dxe4 19.Ne5 Bxc3 20.Qxc3 Qxa2 or 15.g5 (best) Ne4 16.Ne5 b4 17.Nxe4 dxe4 18.Bxe4 Bxe4 19.Qxe4 Rc8 or 19...b3. |

| | Pawn and Two: This game is from a short match of 6 games played in Vienna May 2-9, 1908. Teichmann won games 1 and 5. Rubinstein won games 2, 4 & 6. Game 5 was drawn. Only this game (game 4) and the 6th game have been located, according to the book, "Akiba Rubinstein: Uncrowned King". Rubinstein and Teichmann had a very close personal record in tournament and match games. Between 1906 and 1924 they contested 23 tournament and match games. Rubinstein won 6, Teichmann 5 and 12 games were drawn. They also played one exhibition game in Berlin 1921. Teichmann & Richter vs Rubinstein & Rotenstein. Due to the late hour, this game was left unfinished after White's 37th move. At that point Black had a winning position. |
|
| Jul-21-08 | | Zickzack: A comment by <Vukovic> from the "Art of Attack": 20. h6 would have been quicker and even more devastating. |
|
| Apr-14-12 | | wordfunph: "A dashing victory in the grand manner."
- Hans Kmoch |
|
| Apr-08-13 | | RookFile: Another game where black's bishop at b7 is worthless. Sometimes in these kind of setups black prefers to put it on e6 even though he has played b6. |

 | | HeMateMe: great game, weak pun. |
|
| Apr-08-13 | | Llawdogg: Wow Kolty, Houdini really extended that ending quite a bit longer than seemed possible! |
|
| Apr-08-13 | | Abdel Irada: When one is defending against a sacrificial attack, one must be alert for opportunities to return some material in order to consolidate. Instead, Teichmann went on taking material until it gave him a fatal case of indigestion. This leads one to look for alternatives, and I now wonder if, rather than snap up another knight, Teichmann could not have held this game with 22. ...Qe6. |
|
| Apr-08-13 | | morfishine: <Abdel Irada> Good point here: <...and I now wonder if, rather than snap up another knight, Teichmann could not have held this game with 22. ...Qe6> Teichmann was as shrewd as they get; Rarely did he fail to see all the resources available to him, even with only one eye :) |

 | | PawnSac: I was curious if in the early years (pre-WW1) they had time controls, and if so how did they clock them? According to Wiki..
< The first time that game clocks were used in a chess tournament was in the London 1883 tournament. > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_c...
A trivial bit of trivia |

| Apr-08-13 | | kevin86: The white rook should get two minutes for interference. |
|
| Apr-08-13 | | RookFile: I'm sure you mean game 6, PawnSac. Spassy's ...Be6 was a good move in that position. |

| | HeMateMe: <Pawn sac> If you didnt like your opponent, you wait until his hand got near the underside of the guilltine and make a FAST move on your clock.... |
|
| Apr-08-13 | | Travis Bickle: Now that's the way to get a kingside attack rolling! |
|
| Apr-08-13 | | Ezzy: <PawnSac: in case you're interested, here's a picture of the early chess clock> From <PawnSac's> link - <By 1883, a mechanical timing device had been invented, called the “tumbling” chess clock. It was first used at a London tournament that year. It was invented by Thomas Bright Wilson (1843-1915) of Manchester, England,> Invented by a guy from my home city. Didn't know that. You learn something new everyday. :-) |
