[Event "Moscow"] [Site "?"] [Round "0"] [White "Tal"] [Black "Uhlmann"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "C07"] [Opening "French: Tarrasch, Open, 4.Ngf3"] 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nd2 c5 {The Tarrasch Variation of the French has a reputation for dry, positional games. Not this time!} 4. Ngf3 Nc6 5. Bb5 dxe4 6. Nxe4 Bd7 7. Bg5 Qa5+ 8. Nc3 cxd4 9. Nxd4 Bb4 { Black should have played 9...Be2, with a more defensive attitude.} 10. O-O Bxc3 11. bxc3 Qxc3 {Black is too greedy and should have attended to development or attacked either bishop with a pawn. If only the e-file were open, Black would be in trouble. So Tal sacrifices a piece to open the file.} 12. Nf5 exf5 13. Re1+ Be6 14. Qd6 {The threats are still developing, but Black is very cramped and cannot get his defensive forces close to the king.} 14... a6 {Now Tal ignor es the threat against one bishop, but thinks about the other. If only it were on the a3-f8 diagonal...} 15. Bd2 Qxc2 16. Bb4 { Mission accomplished. Now it is just a matter of mopping up.} 16... axb5 17. Qf8+ Kd7 18. Red1+ Kc7 19. Qxa8 {Uhlmann resigned. If Black had captured the bishop then mate in two would have followed. If you don't see how, play this against Gambit. 19...Nge7 would be best, but after capturing the rook at h8 White would have too much material.} 1-0
