Maroczy, p.98. 3)DSZ1922, S.207 (Burn). 4)Skinner: Alekhine. p.167.} d5 2. d4
Nf6 3. c4 c6 4. Nc3 dxc4 {Die Annahme des Gambits in diesem Moment war der
Gegenstand vieler Analysen (besonders des verstorbenen Meisters Alapin); in
der Praxis kam sie jedoch bis zur letzten Zeit fast nicht vor. Alapins Analyse
befasste sich nach 5.e3, b5, 6. a4 hauptsächlich mit den Zügen Sd5 oder Db6
usw.  Erst nach dem Londoner Turnier (1922) wo ich meine Neuerung 6. ...
b5-b4! vorgeschlagen hatte, begann man sich für diese Variante wiederum zu
interessieren.} 5. a4 {Rubinstein, der meine Analyse bereits kannte, wählt
die Fortsetzung, die Bogoljubow gegen mich in einer der früheren Runden
eingeschlagen hatte. Schwarz entwickelt jetzt jedoch seinen Damenläufer und
befreit sich von allen Schwierigkeiten.} Bf5 6. e3 e6 7. Bxc4 Bb4 {Dies
Manöver, das den Abtausch des Läufers f5 bezweckt, beansprucht zu viel Zeit.
Der einfache Entwicklungszug 9.Ld2 gab Weiß mehr Möglichkeiten, das Spiel
auszugleichen. Nun ist an das Erlangen von Vorteil auch nicht mehr zu denken.}
8. O-O O-O 9. Ne2 Nbd7 10. Ng3 Bg6 11. Nh4 c5 {Schwarz benutzt die Zeit, die
ihm der Gegner gelassen hat, um nach Beendigung der Entwicklung den Angriff im
Zentrum zu beginnen.} 12. Nxg6 {Bogoljubow setzte in der erwähnten Partie ....
} ({....} 12. f4 {riskanter fort:} Nb6 13. Ba2 cxd4 14. exd4 Nfd5 15. Nf3 Rc8
16. Ne5 Bc2 $1 17. Qf3 f5 {mit offenbaren Vorteil für Schwarz. Aber auch nach
dem einfachen Abtausch des Springers gegen den Läufer hat Weiß ein schweres
Spiel, weil sein Damenläufer nicht entwickelt ist.}) 12... hxg6 13. dxc5 Nxc5
14. Qe2 {Droht mit dem Vorgehen des e-Bauern, was Schwarz zu verhindern sucht.}
Nfe4 15. Nxe4 Nxe4 16. Qg4 {Die Kombination mit dem Läuferopfer auf e6 würde
zum Vorteil für Schwarz enden, zum Beispiel:} (16. Bxe6 fxe6 17. Qc4 Qd5 18.
Qxb4 Nxf2 {usw. Der Textzug 16. Dg4 ist stärker als 16. Df3, da in diesem
Falle der schwarze Springer nach d6 zurück gehen könnte, was jetzt wegen 17.
Lxe6 usw. schlecht ist.}) 16... Nf6 17. Qf3 {Ein neuer Versuch, e4 zu spielen.}
Qc7 {Gewinnt ein wichtiges Tempo, um e4 zu verhindern.} 18. b3 Qe5 19. Ra2 Ne4
20. a5 {Dieser Zug eröffnet dem Schwarzen Gewinnchancen; denn gerade jetzt
bekommt er die Möglichkeit, sich mit dem Springer auf c3 festzusetzen.} ({
Einfacher wäre} 20. Bb2) 20... Rfd8 21. Bb2 Bc3 22. Bxc3 {Es ist klar, dass
Weiß die beiden Läufer nicht mehr behalten kann.} Nxc3 23. Rc2 b5 24. axb6
axb6 {Die offene a-Linie -- das Resultat des 20. Zuges von Weiß -- ist auch
ein wichtiger Faktor zugunsten von Schwarz.} 25. Rfc1 Na2 {Um ein Tempo zum
Vorgehen des b-Bauern zu gewinnen.} 26. Re1 b5 27. Bf1 Nc3 28. Qf4 {Der
Damentausch ist die beste Chance für Weiß, da er ihm die offene e-Linie gibt;
nichtsdestoweniger steht das Endspiel zum Vorteil von Schwarz.} Qxf4 29. exf4
b4 30. g3 Ra3 {Dieser Zug aber nimmt dem Schwarzen die meisten Gewinnchancen,
da er überflüssigen Zeitverlust bedeutet. Schwarz hatte es gar nicht nötig,
die Besetzung von c4 durch den weißen Läufer zu provozieren, auf welchem
Felde er ganz gut steht. Viel exakter wäre es, den König sofort durch
Kg8-f8-e7, Td4 und Ke7-d6 nach dem Zentrum zu bringen, daraufhin einen Turm
abtauschen und mithilfe der übrig gebliebenen drei Figuren einen Angriff auf
dem Punkt b3 zu schaffen. Nach dem Textzug wird dem Schwarzen gerade ein
einziges Tempo zur Durchführung dieses Planes fehlen.} 31. Bc4 Kf8 32. Kg2 Ke7
33. Re5 {Diesen Zug hatte Schwarz bei seinem 30. Zuge nicht genügend
berücksichtigt. Jetzt hat er keine Zeit mehr zu 33. ... Td4, da Weiß mit
seinem Turm ins feindliche Lager durch Te5-c5-c8 einzudringen droht.} Rc8 34.
Rd2 Rd8 35. Rc2 Rc8 36. h4 Nd5 37. Rce2 Nc3 38. Rd2 Rc6 39. h5 {Dieses
geistreiche Bauernopfer wäre für Schwarz ungefährlich, wenn der weiße Turm
noch auf c2 stünde, jetzt aber muss Schwarz mit der größten Vorsicht
spielen. Diese Partie beweist mehr als andere, wie Rubinsteins Stil
evolutioniert hat. Der tiefe Stratege hat sich in einem schlagfertigen
Taktiker verwandelt, der bei jedem Zuge eine neue Kombination oder Falle
bereitet. Diese Feststellung wird auch durch die Anzahl von Schönheitspreisen
bestätigt, die Rubinstein in den letzten Turnieren erhalten hat, wo er mit
solchen Spezialisten auf diesem Gebiet, wie Mieses und Spielmann, konkurriert
hat.} f6 40. Re3 gxh5 41. f5 e5 42. Red3 {Droht Matt in drei Zügen. Jetzt
sieht man, was für einen starken Angriff Weiß für seinen Bauern erhalten
hat.} Ra7 {Die einzige Verteidigung.} 43. Rd8 {Diese Fortsetzung des fein
erdachten Angriffs erwies sich als ungenügend, freilich nur weil Schwarz ein
einziges, tief verborgenes Verteidigungsmanöver zur Verfügung hatte, welches
seine Partie rettete.} ({Durch} 43. f3 Nb1 44. Rd1 Nc3 45. R1d2 Nb1 {konnte
Weiß sofort Remis ist erzwingen.}) 43... Ne4 {Die einzige Verteidigung gegen
die Drohung Tdg8} 44. R2d5 Rd6 ({Die natürliche Antwort des Schwarzen auf
diesen Zug:} 44... Nd6 45. Rg8 Nxf5 46. Rdd8 Nd6 {würde wegen} 47. Rb8 {
usw. sogar verlieren.}) 45. Rg8 $1 {Gewinnt scheinbar, da Schwarz wegen
Qualitätsverlust nach Lc4xd5 den Turm d5 nicht schlagen kann. Aber jetzt ist
Schwarz an der Reihe, dem Gegner eine Überraschung zu bereiten.} Ra2 {Pariert
die furchtbare Drohung Tb5, worauf Matt in drei Zügen (Ta2-f2+) folgen würde.
Die nächsten Züge von Weiß sind erzwungen.} 46. Rxg7+ Kf8 47. Rg8+ Kxg8 48.
Rd2+ Kg7 49. Rxa2 Rd2 $1 {Der Schlüssel der Kombination von Schwarz. Er
erzwingt den Abtausch auch des zweiten Turmes, worauf das Endspiel -- infolge
der Schwäche des weißen b-Bauern und der Beschränktheit des Wirkungskreises
des weißen Königs -- zu seinem Vorteil entschieden ist.} 50. Rxd2 Nxd2 51.
Bd5 e4 {Lässt f2-f3 nicht zu und verhindert den König, den Springer
anzugreifen.} 52. f4 {Dieser Zug verliert die Partie endgültig, da nach e3
Weiß den Springer nicht mehr vertreiben kann und sein König vom Damenflügel
abgeschnitten ist.} ({Etwas besser war} 52. g4 h4 53. Kh3 Nf3 54. g5 {und das
Bauernopfer gab dem Weißen in Anbetracht der knappen übriggebliebenen
Streitkräfte gewisse Remischancen. Das Schlussstadium der Partie ist ziemlich
lehrreich.}) 52... e3 53. Kg1 Kf8 54. Kg2 Ke7 55. Bg8 Kd6 56. Bf7 Kc5 57. Bxh5
Nxb3 58. Kf3 (58. g4 {hätte den Widerstand etwas verlängert.} Nd4 59. g5 fxg5
60. fxg5 Nxf5 61. Bf7 Kd4 62. Kf1 Kd3 63. Ke1 Nh4 64. Bd5 b3 {und Schwarz
gewinnt.}) 58... Kd4 59. Bf7 (59. g4 {gab wegen} Kd3 {usw. schon keine Chancen
mehr.}) 59... Kd3 $1 {Am einfachsten.} 60. Bxb3 Kd2 61. Bc4 b3 62. Bxb3 e2 0-1
