put the celebrated e5 king's flank pawn under piece fire.    In this position
it was necessary to prefer the second strategic idea, because it's easier to
make use of the loss of tempi in a piece game. Thus it made sense to play} (5.

Black will give up the pawn d6 in exchange for the pawn on e4, after which the

newly achieved stability, I tried to avoid all uncertainties, because
escapades such as these seemed to me, not sweetly alluring, but simply

walk and delight in the stability of my position, and admire it, and look at

where it was played and when; ever since it appeared in "My System" without
those details. It was a casual game, played after the conclusion of the St.

the play-off that would be early February 1914.} 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Nf6

it would have a more lasting effect here, as after a3 the bishop must either
retreat to e7 or be exchanged, although after that White would have an
advantageous two-bishops game.}) 6... Bxd2+ 7. Nbxd2 c5 {Another more cautious
development would be the series of moves 7...d6, 8.0-0 Nbd7, 9.Qc2 Qe7 with
the later central advance e6-e5.} 8. dxc5 bxc5 9. O-O Qc7 10. Qc2 O-O 11. Rad1

keep d6 under pressure.} h6 12. a3 Nc6 13. Rfe1 Rab8 14. Rb1 a5 15. b3 Rfd8 16.
Rb2 Ne7 {In order to play d7-d5, which was not appropriate earlier, as the
c5-pawn was not covered.} 17. e4 d6 {The planned advance would now not be
practical, as after the double exchange on d5 the isolated pawn on c5 would
only offer White a welcome object of attack.} 18. Nb1 Nc6 19. Nc3 Qe7 20. Nb5
Ba6 21. Qe2 {The exchange combination 21.Nxd6 Qxd6, 22.e5 Qe7, 23.exf6 would
not be good as this would only remove the weak d6-pawn.} Nd7 22. Rd2 {
After protracted cautious outpost skirmishes the real battle for position
begins with the bombarding of d6.} Nde5 23. a4 Nxf3+ 24. Qxf3 Rd7 25. Qc3 {
Now Black must guard the a5-pawn as well.} Qd8 {25...Rbd8 was better, after
which, however, Black would have been sentenced to total passivity. The text
move is planning the establishment of the knight on d4 in order to mask the
weakness of d6. However, the clever intention is refuted both elegantly and
energetically by the Russian Grand Master.} 26. Red1 Bxb5 {

Planning e6-e5, after which White's attack will be under control.} 28. Rxd4 $3

White soon gains a winning endgame resulting from his strong pawn on the
queen's flank.} cxd4 29. Qxd4 {With the threat 30.e5 d5, 31.Bf1 next c5, etc.}
Rbb7 30. Ra1 Qc7 31. Bf1 Qc5 32. Qe3 $1 {The double pawn after the exchange of
the queens is of a harmless nature, as Black has no chance of successfully
penetrating the enemy play.} Kf8 {If 32...Ra7, then 33.e5! Qxe5, 34.QxQ dxe5,
35.c5 with the victorious advance of the white pawn phalanx.} 33. Rxa5 Ra7 34.
