White: Tchlgorin it is evident that Black has lost game. but when Schlechter played G-B2 , White answered without hesitation U-56 (P-SS was the right movei hoping to end the game by a forced exchange of aueena. But was horrified to see that he cannot escape the stalemate after Blacks K-Rl. If White tries K-R6. then Q-B1 followed by Q-B3 establishes the previous position.
