{MITTELGAMBIT} 1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. Qxd4 {Es leuchtet ein, dass derartige
Damenbewegungen in der Eröffnung nicht geeignet sind, das Anzugstempo zu
bewahren. Schwarz muss aber sehr sorgfältig vorgehen, um dem Gegner keine
Gelegenheit zu einem Angriff gegen seinen König oder selbst gegen seine
zentrale Stellung zu geben, da die weißen Dame von g3 aus doch einen gewissen
Druck ausüben wird.} Nc6 4. Qe3 Be7 ({Schwarz konnte auch} 4... Nf6 {

Springer und einen Bauern für die Dame bei überlegenen Stellung- also ein
vollkommen genügendes Äquivalent.} ({Die Variante} 11... Nce7 12. Qh5 {

gewaltigen Druck.} 21. Qxf3 Ne5 22. Qe2 {Es ist klar, dass das Wegnehmen von

verursachen würde.} c5 {Ein sehr wichtiger Zug, welcher dem schwarzen Angriff
