Today’s Tartakower tactic!

by kevinspraggettonchess · September 28, 2012

SPRAGGETT ON CHESS

POSITION AFTER 18 MOVES

BROADBENT,R

gm  TARTAKOWER

 

 

A nice demolition in progress!  Most of Black’s power is located over on the Queenside , far from his Majesty.  This provides motif to Tartakower , justifying a sacrificial attack.  The theme to remove the Black Bishop on g7 is a common these days.  One need only remember the famous  Smyslov vs Timman from Tilburg (1981) for a similar idea.

 

 

Especially nice is the double exchange sacrifice leading to a mating finale.  Enjoy!
