But sea how badly these pieces are placed! One rook is unprotected, the other badly hemmed In by its own colleagues.

ANNOTATED BY HERMAN STEINER (a) A move introduced by Fajarowlcg In Wiesbaden In 1928 against me. tb) Alekhine s move. In my game against Fsjarowici I played Q-B2, which was answered by 4 . . . P-Q4!; 5. PxP e.p.. B-B4; S. Q-R4 ch.. K-B3; 7. Kt-KB3. BxP; 8. P-QR3, Q-B3; followed by O-O-O.
with practically a wou game. The text move was introduced by Alekhlne against Tar-takower at London, Eng.. in 1932. (c) In the Alekhine-Tartakower game, the latter played K-B4: 5. K-Kt-B3.
Kt-B3: 6. P-KKt3, Q-K2: 7. B-K12. P-KKt3; 8. Kt-QKt, KtxP; 9 O-O, KtxKtch?; (P-Q3!) 10. PxKt, B-Kt2: 11. R-K. Kt-K3; 12. Kt-B3. O-O: 13. Kt-QS, Q-Q; 14. P-B4. with a better game. (d) White makes the same mistake as In my game against Fajarowicz. P-QR3 should be played.
fe Kt-QB3 comes under strong consideration. The strong-looking BxKt ch which apparently wins the exchange would not be so Rood as 8. KtxB, Kl-Kt6: 9. P-K-4. ICtxR: 10, PxB, O-O; 11.

A misconception of the position. K-Q or K-B would have eventually won the game as Black is a Rook to the good, and the undeveloped White pieces do not justify the Rook sacrifice. For example: K-Q; 16. R-Q, K-B: and Black is out of danger. If lb. QxKtP. R-QKt; 17. Q-Q5, Q-K3; 18. Q-Q4, Q-KB3: and wins. (If 15 . . . K-B; IS. QxKtP, K-Kt2: and Black wins.) (11 Following the misleading line. Black figures if he exchanges the Queen he'll have a better chance to win the end game with a Ronk ahead, overlooking the fact that the White's Queen-side Pswn will be very dangerous, as the Black Rook on the King side cannot come Into piny quick enough.
The dangerous looking K-K2 would have been much better as 18. Kt-Q4 would be answered by Q-QKt.3! 19. Kt-Btich.? K-K3! and Black Is out of danter as now the Rooks are connected. tki This is the position Black was playing for. figuring thai the position Is well controlled and the two pass pawns are blocked by the Knight.

(oi A blunder. Here Black had about two minutes to make the next 14 moves. (0) Black figured 27 . . . K-B2: 28. Ktx P. KR-KB, overlooking that White answers with 28. P-BM forcing the pass pawns. The rest needs no comment as the moves are obvious.
