Nf3 Qh6 7. d3 Nh5 8. Nh4 Qg5 9. Nf5 c6 10. g4 Nf6 11. Rg1 cxb5 {We do not intend to present a compreshensive analysis of this famous game. We content ourselves with indicating poits at which Black is guilty of undue greed for material. This is the first such point; in return for the piece White obtains a big lead in development} 12. h4 Qg6 13. h5 Qg5 14. Qf3 Ng8 {The defender should be at any moment ready to return the material he has won. The text is motivated by precisely the opposite principle. In order to hold on to his extra piece Black is willing to deprive himself of what little development he has} (14... Nxg4) 15. Bxf4 Qf6 16. Nc3 Bc5 17. Nd5 Qxb2 18. Bd6 $1 {The finish of this game is very fin, and is just famous - notwithstanding the fact that its earlier part, as Dr. Lasker said, is an affront to our susceptibilities} 18... Bxg1 19. e5 Qxa1+ 20. Ke2 Na6 {Black's move is still motivated, albeit subconsciously, by the determination not to relinquish material. He rules out White's check at c7} (20... Ba6 {Black could have given White more trouble.}) 21. Nxg7+ Kd8 22. Qf6+ $1 Nxf6 23. Be7# 1-0
