Tartakower & du Mont, 500 Master Games of Chess, pp. 53-54; Tartakower, My
Best Games of Chess: 1905-1954 pp. 77-80. All comments are Tartakower's unless
otherwise noted. The well-known sacrifice at f-7 has won many games. The
combination in the following game contains some special finesses.A match
extending to 6 points took place between Réti and myself at Vienna in October,
1920. This amtch was won by me with 4 wins, no losses and 4 draws (i.e. 6
points to 2), and the events leading to it were quite intriguing.  Radiant
victor in the first great international tournament after the war, at Goeteborg
(Sweden) in 1920, Réti deemed he could, at length, take substantial revenge
against me since he had previously, in 1919, lost a short match (+3,-2,=5 in
my favor) and drawn a second one (+2, -2, =2).  How can one explain that, this
time, he had to see his hopes fly away and, once again, admit defeat -- and
this even without having succeeded in winning a single game? This enigma can
be solved by saying that (1) psychologically, one can never trust in the
appearances of chess form, which can change from one moment to another; and
that (2), technically, Réti was much less a match player, which requires a
steady and resolute temperament, and more a brilliant tournament player, in
which the theoretical investigation often procured him precious points.  Here,
then is the first game of our 1920 match:} 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4.
Nc3 {Although this move, because of the following reply, is in bad odor with
omniscient theory, it is quite playable.} ({Another move that has "bad press,"
in a rather ill-deserved way, is} 4. Ng5 {Tartakower,S-Bogoljubow,E Bad
Homburg 1927 (1.2) 1-0 (emn Stumperzug! — a beginner's move — according to
Dr. Tarrasch's dogmatic assessment). In reality, the skirmishes it provokes
are still far from completely explored by theory, and I will return to it when
dealing with a later game.}) 4... Nxe4 5. Nxe4 ({After} 5. Bxf7+ Kxf7 6. Nxe4

Black.}) 6... dxe4 ({Better than complicating matters by} 6... f5 {although it
wins back the piece, because after} 7. Nc3 e4 8. Bb5 exf3 9. Qxf3 {, etc., the

rather the better game. Therefore, the text move is superior to 8...Nxd4,
