Tartakower & du Mont, 500 Master Games of Chess, pp.10-11. All comments are
Tartakower's unless otherwise noted. In the following game we see the
application of that important principle—economy of means. Black, faced with
the dilemma either of having an extra piece and submitting to an attack, or of
having an extra pawn only, with the superior position, unhesitatingly
renounces spurious possessions.} 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. c3 Nf6 5. d4
