1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Ke2 {White intended to play 3.Nc3, but
by accident moved the Bc1 to c3 instead. The rules at the time
required that an illegal move be retracted and replaced with a
legal king move, so 3.Ke2 was the penalty. What happened next
is unclear. The usual account is that Black simply played
3...Qe4#. (See, for example, Irving Chernev, 'Wonders and
Curiosities of Chess', New York, 1974, p. 119.) However, some
contemporary accounts indicate that Black did not play the
mate because he did not see it ("'Deutsche Schachzeitung' of
September 1893, p. 283). The tournament book is more
ambiguous, claiming that Black let White wriggle for a while
(Kiel, 1893 tournament book, p. 60 (in the original "[...] zog
es aber vor, den Gegner erst noch zappeln zu lassen, ehe er
ihn endlich erschlug.")), indicating either a pause before
playing 3...Qe4# or preference for a slower win. If additional
moves were played after 3.Ke2, they have not been
recorded. Information was retrieved from Edward Winter's C.N
5381.} Qe4# {The congress book indicates that Black did not
mate immediately after white's third move, but preferred to
play a bit with White before making the kill. No moves are
supplied.} 0-1

1.d4 {Notes by Marshall. Britisher Amos Burn was a very
conservative player who liked to settle down for a long
session of closed, defensive chess. He loved to smoke his pipe
while he studied the board.} d5 2.c4 e6 {Burn began hunting
through his pockets for his pipe and tobacco. } 3.Nc3 Nf6

had his pipe out and was looking for a pipe cleaner.} 5.e3 O-O

pipe. I speeded up my moves.} 9.Bxf6 Bxf6 10.h4 { Made him
think on that one. And he still didn't have the pipe
going. The threat is Bxh7+, Kxh7; Ng5+, known as the Pillsbury
Attack.} g6 11.h5 Re8 12.hxg6 hxg6 { Now he was looking for
matches. } 13.Qc2 Bg7 14.Bxg6 fxg6 { He struck a match and
appeared nervous. The match burned his fingers and went
out. }15.Qxg6 Nd7 {Another match was on its way. } 16.Ng5 Qf6
{ He was puffing away and lighting up at last, but too late. }
17.Rh8+ Kxh8 18. Qh7# { Poor Burn. I think I swindled him out
of that one. If he could only have got that pipe going, it
might have been a different story. He took it good naturedly
and we shook hands. Then his pipe went out. } 1-0

the text move would have a meaning only if it were introducing
an attack against the Q side, (c4, and b4). But he intends to
operate on the K wing, and for this d5, is a bad preparation.}

which not only has a high preventive value, but which also has
the attribute of driving the opponent into quick action.} Qe8

of the comprehensive prophylaxis employed; preventive measures
were taken against c4 and b4 as well as against f4 and later
on h4. A few words about the charachteristics of the
preventive moves selected ; the waiting policy by 10...h6 is
typical of this style of play, for waiting moves form the
beginning of all prophylactic manouvers. The fact that the
preventive move 24 ...Qe8 contains a threat at the same time
by no means detracts from its purity in a prophylaxis, in
which part of the plan is to drive the opponent to acceerated
action.} 0-1

1.e4 {Notes by Dr. Emanuel Lasker in "Lasker's Chess Magazine"
1907. *** The most important game in the tournament, and in
many respects the most exciting, was the encounter between the
two leaders toward the close. Maroczy, the hero of many hard
fights, was half a point better off than the young Rubinstein,
but the latter had to meet weaker opponents subsequently. With
the instinct and judgement of a veteran, with confidence in
his ability to succeed in his remaining games, Rubinstein set
out with a determination to draw with Maroczy. The state of
the score would have impelled most players to take exceptional
risks in order to depose his antagonist and take his
place. Rubinstein is evidently au fait in all the arts of
winning tournaments besides games. An eyewitness thus
describes the attitude of the players at the conclusion of the
game: "That Rubinstein was perfectly satisfied with his
partial success was apparent from his beaming countenance;
Maroczy looked depressed in proportion.} e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4
4.Nxe4 Nd7 5.Nf3 Ngf6 6.Nxf6+ {Under the circumstances White's
tactics cannot be commended. By exchanging he not only does
not simplify, but actually develops Black's game. It should be
Black's business for that reason to find out how to develop
the knight on d7. Far preferable would have been 6.Ng3 leaving
Black's game cramped.} Nxf6 7.Bd3 c5 8.dxc5 Bxc5 9.O-O O-O
10.Bg5 {White wastes time with this move, which could only be
justified if followed up with Bxf6. Instead, 10.Bf4 is much
better, for Black cannot reply with 10...Bd6, because of
11.Bxd6 Qxd6 12.Bxh7+ winning the queen.} Be7 11.Qe2 Qc7
12.Rad1 {In order to be able to advance the queenside pawns it
would have been better to have played 12.Rfe1.} Rd8 13.c4 Bd7
14.Bd2 Rac8 15.Bc3 Be8 16.Qc2 h6 17.Ne5 Nd7 {Black has
cleverly anticipated all possible attacks on the kingside. The
position is remarkable. The black king is only protected by
pawns, and White has considerable force bearing on it, yet
nothing tangible can be done.} 18.Nxd7 Bxd7 {If 18...Rxd7,
with the object of doubling, White would reply 19.Qe2,
threatening Qe4 with a very promising attack.} 19.Qe2 Bc6
20.Qg4 Bf8 21.f4 {White should play 21.Rfe1, threatening Bf6
with much the better game. It is impossible to give all the
combinations that might arise, but as an instance the
following will show a possible continuation showing why 21.Bf6
cannot be played at once: 21...Rd7 22.Rfe1 Kh8 23.Be5 Qd8
24.Re3 f5 25.Qg6 Qg5 26.Rg3 Qxg6 27.Rxg6 Rcd8 28.Rxh6+ Kg8
29.Rh3 Be4 winning a piece.} Rxd3 {! As a means of winning,
this sacrifice cannot be recommended. But taking into account
that Black realized that his position was getting very
difficult, this move is highly ingenious and shows great power
of resistance. For the exchange versus a pawn Black has got
rid of one of the most dangerous pieces.} 22.Rxd3 Be4 23.Rd2
{If 23.Rg3 then 23...Qxc4 24.Bxg7 Bf5 25.Qh4 Bxg7 26.Qf6 Bg6
and Black should win.} Qxc4 24.Rfd1 Bd5 25.h3 {This is an
unnecessary defense, as Black does not threaten anything. The
proper thing to do would be to play 25.a3 first, and so save
this pawn. Maroczy undoubtedly labored under some delusion
when he made the subsequent combination. Otherwise he would
certainly have acted on the reorganized principle that a
player with a superior force should first of all render
everything secure.} f5 26.Qg6 {Had White played 25.a3 as
suggested, he could have complacently played now 26.Qg3. To
defend this pawn now and leave the other would not permit many
winning chances.} Qxf4 27.Rxd5 {The countersacrifice nearly
wins. At the same time, White guards against the sacrifice of
a a second exchange, to be followed by ...Bd6.} Qe3+ 28.Kh1
exd5 29.Qxf5 Rd8 30.Rxd5 Qc1+ 31.Kh2 Bd6+ 32.Be5 Bc7 {This
innocent-looking move is the only one which draws easily. If
32...Bxe5+ 33.Qxe5 Rxd5 (otherwise White plays Rd7) 34.Qxd5+
Kh7 35.Qxb7 Qf4+ 36.g3 with a pawn to the good, though winning
would be remote.} 33.Rxd8+ Bxd8 34.Qd7 Qg5 35.Bg3 Qe7 36.Qxe7
Bxe7 37.Be5 Kf7 38.Kg3 g6 39.Kf4 Ke6 40.Ke4 h5 41.b3 1/2-1/2

1. e4 { Notes by Raymond Keene. With two bishops for two
knights, and a central pawn majority, Black probably felt
confident in the outcome of this game. But Nimzowitsch proves
that the opposing centre is a liability because the squares in
front of it are weak, inviting invasion by blockading
knights. The bishops, locked behind the pawns, are never given
a chance. Not strictly true! Nimzowitsch inadvertently allows
the bishops to escape, but then proceeds to dominate them with
his knights on an open board.} e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 c5 4. c3 Nc6

1. e4 {Notes by Nimzowitsch. From a match; the first game in
which appears my idea of a pawn sacrifice in the opening, not
to obtain an attack, but merely, with gain of a tempo, to
overprotect a strategical point with a view to cramping the
enemy forces.} e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 c5 4. Qg4 {My innovation.}

10. Re1 {White's plan is now clear. He has given up a pawn,
careless when, if ever, he recovers it provided his pawn at e5
is maintained as an instrument to cramp Black's game. There is
no idea of attack in 9 h4, its object is solely to pave the
way to the removal of some of the pressure on the p at e5. The
pawn sacrifice comes with the category of sacrifice for the
sake of blockade.} Bd7 {...Bc5 was essaential here so as to
leave the f8 square free for the knight to retreat after h5.}

exchange here by 12 h5 Ne7 13 Ng5 Re8 14 Nf7 Rg8 15 Nd6+; but
with his undeveloped queenside and his unprotected p at h5 he
would have had some difficulties to contend with. The text

forces.} 19. cxd4 Kd8 20. Rc1 Qb6 21. a5 Qa7 22. b6 Qa8 {The

has in mind the manoeuvre Nh1-f2-h3-g5, in conjunction with
Qh5, as a method of assaulting the position of Black's
king. When I first read My System I was so impressed by this
game that I deliberately created situations in my next few
games where the move Ng3-h1 was possible, in the belief that
this mystical retreat would somehow result in a miraculous
increase of energy in my position, irrespective of whatever
else may have been happening on the board at the time.}

1. d4 {Notes by Alekhine} Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 Bb4+ 4. Nbd2
{The usual move nowadays is 4 Bd2, in order to develop the
knight on the more natural square c3. But, on the other hand,
if Black wants to avoid the exchange of his king's bishop, he
will now be forced to lose time by retreating it to e7. The
text move therefore cannot be condemned. It has the advantage
anyhow of leading to more complicated lines than the usual
move.} b6 5. g3 Bb7 6. Bg2 O-O 7. O-O Bxd2 {? Instead of this
exchange, which yiels White the advantage of the pair of
bishops without necessity, Black could play either d5
(Rubinstein-Alekhine, Semmering, 1926) or even Be7, followed
by d6, Nbd7, etc. In both cases he would have better
equalising prospects than in the actual game.} 8. Qxd2 {The
correct recapture, as the queen bishoop is wanted on the long
diagonal.} d6 9. b3 Nbd7 10. Bb2 Rb8 {Black shows his hand
decidedly to early. The obvious object of the text move is to
play Ne4 followed by f5, for which purpose the bishop must be
protected, to avoid the possible answer Ng5. But the same idea
could have been combined with a mobilisation by 10...Qe7,
11...Rad8, and eventually Ba8.} 11. Rad1 {! An interesting and
effective method of meeting Black's plan. The White queen
bishop is to play in the following development a most
important and practically decisive part.} Ne4 {If Qe7 then 12
Qe3 (Ne4 13 d5).} 12. Qe3 f5 13. d5 {This pawn will only
apparently be weak, as White can always protect it by
counter-attack.} exd5 {e5 instead would lose a pawn by 14
Nh4!} 14. cxd5 Ndf6 15. Nh4 Qd7 {If Nxd5 then 16 Rxd5 Bxd5 17
Qd4 winning a piece.} 16. Bh3 {Again preventing Nxd5 , this
time because of 17 Qxe4.} g6 17. f3 Nc5 18. Qg5 {Threatening
not only 19 Bxf6 but also 19 B or Nxf5; and if 18...Nxd5 then
19 Nxg6 wins. Black's reply is therefore forced.} Qg7 19. b4
Ncd7 {Equally hopeless would be Na4 20 Ba1, etc.} 20. e4 {!
The initial move of the decisive sacrificial combination.}
Nxe4 {Black clearly based his last hopes on this ingenious
stroke. If now 21 Bxg7 Nxg5 22 Bxf8 then Nxf3+ 23 Kg2 Rxf8 24
Kxf3 Nf6 followed by Nxd5 with good fighting chances.} 21. Qc1
{! Much more effective than 21 fxe4 Qxb2 22 exf5 Qf6 yielding
White only a possible win after a laborious end-game.} Nef6
22. Bxf5 {! The surprising sequal to 20 e4. After gxf5 23 Nxf5
Black would either lose his queen or be mated (23...Qh8 24
Nh6+ Kg7 25 Qg5 mate).} Kh8 23. Be6 {At last the d-pawn is
definitely safe.} Ba6 24. Rfe1 Ne5 25. f4 {Far the simplest
way to force resignation.} Nd3 26. Rxd3 Bxd3 27. g4 {There is
no remedy against g5. This game won the special prize for the
most brilliant king side attack at Nottingham.} 1-0

introduced by me at Mannheim in 1914 and since then has been
incorporated into master praxis.} c5 {One of the numerous
replies which are possibe but which do not present White with
any difficulties Much more is promising is 6...f6.} 7. Bxe7

11. O-O-O a6 12. Rh3 h6 {Usually Black does not worry about
the king's side and seeks counter play on the queen's
flank. This move is not corrected and, as will be seen, White
manages to take possesion of and exploit the strong strategic
point d4. The opportune move would have been 12... Qc7 13 Rg3

on a tactical calculation. With ...Na5-c6 Black would have
been able to defend himself for some time but I had already
lost my taste for this position and also my confidence in the
resistance I would be able to offer.} 22. bxc4 dxc4 23. Re3 c3

1.d4 {Notes by Gary Kasparov.} Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Bb4+ 4.Bd2
Qe7 5.g3 Bxd2+ 6.Qxd2 O-O 7.Bg2 d5 8.O-O dxc4 9.Na3 c5 10.dxc5
Qxc5 11.Rac1 Nc6 12.Nxc4 Qe7 13.Nfe5 Nxe5 14.Nxe5 {Evaluating
this position is not at all difficult-the difference in the
placing of the pieces is too great. But the realization of the
advantage is made difficult by the absence of weaknesses in
Black's position. If he can manage to develop his pieces
without any particular damage, White's initiative will be
neutralized. To do this he must drive the knight at e5 from
its dominating position.} Nd5 15.Rfd1 Nb6 16.Qa5 {!
Restraining Black's Q-side and preventing 16...f6 in view of
17.Nc4 Nxc4 18.Rxc4 with a decisive invasion.} g6 17.Rd3 {!
With his last move Black tried to prepare the exchange of a
couple of rooks, but White forestalls this attempt: 17...Rd8
18.Qc5! Qxc5 19. Rxd8+ Qf8 20.Rxf8+ Kxf8 21.Rc7, with a
crushing position.} Nd5 18.e4 {! It is a pity for White to
block the diagonal of his own bishop, but now it is more
important to drive the black knight from its excellent post.}
Nb6 {Forced in order to cover c7. The attempt to gain some
freedom by tactical means did not work - 18...Qb4? 19.Rxd5}
19.Bf1 {! An unobstrusive, but very important move. In such a
situation the main thing is not to allow the opponent to free
himself. Black was intending to play 19...f6, and after 20.Nc4
to exploit the undefended state of the rook at d3: 20...Nxc4
21.Rxc4 b6 22.Qc3 Ba6. The prophylactic 19.Bf1! prevents this
possibility.} Re8 {It is hard to call this move a mistake, but
at any rate Black's best chance was to sacrifice a pawn by
19...f6 20.Nc4 Bd7, although even then White should gradually
win after 21. Nxb6 axb6 22.Qxb6 Bc6 23.a3.} 20.Rdd1 {! White
has fully cO-Ordinated all his pieces, and Black can only
passively observe his opponent's preparation.} Rf8 { There is
nothing else, since it is no longer possible to buy off the
opponent with a pawn sacrifice: 20...f6 21.Nc4 Bd7 22.Nxb6
axb6 23.Qxb6 Bc6 24.Bb5! Bxb5 25.Qxb5 with a straightforward
win. Now Black can only hope for a miracle, or... the
inexperience and haste of his opponent. On the experience of
our previous meetings, the latter seemed more probable, but
the lessons received from Petrosian in Moscow and Tilburg had
taught me a great deal.} 21.a3 {! Insignificant moves such as
this demonstrate to the opponent just how helpless he is.} Kg7
22.b3 {White, with unhurried haste, approaches his goal. It is
obvious that the advance of the pawn to a5 will spell the end
of Black's resistance, but what can he do?} Kg8 23.a4 Rd8
{Even without this oversight the game would not have lasted
long.} 24.Qc5 {! The variation 24...Qxc5 (24...Qe8 25.Ng4!)
25.Rxd8+ Qf8 26.Rxf8+ Kxf8 27.Rc7 does not require any
commentary. Black resigns.} 1-0

1.c4 {I can look back at my chess career and pick out more
than a few crisis points, but only one Mount Everest. I would
like to share the tale to investigate the means I used in
winning the most important game of my life. ... After a tough,
prolonged defense I suffered one of the worst hallucinations
of my career and blundered to a loss in game 23. Suddenly,
Karpov was up by a point and was only a draw away from taking
back the crown he had lost to me two years earlier. The very
next day after this catastrophe, I had to take the white
pieces into a must-win game 24. Caissa, the goddess of chess,
had punished me for my conservative play, for betraying my
nature. I would not be allowed to hold on to my title without
winning a game in the second half of the match. Only once
before in chess history had the champion won a final game to
retain his title. With his back against the wall, Emanuel
Lasker beat Carl Schlechter in the last game of their match in
1910. The win allowed Lasker to draw the match and keep his
title for a further eleven years. The Austrian Schlechter had,
like Karpov, a reputation as a defensive wizard. In fact, his
uncharacteristically aggressive play in the final game against
Lasker has led some historians to believe that the rules of
that particular match required him to win by two points. When
preparing for my turn on the other side of this situation, I
recalled that critical encounter. What strategy should I
employ with the white pieces in this must-win final game?
There was more to think about than game 23 and game 24, of
course. These were also games 119 and 120 between us, an
extraordinary number of top-level encounters between the same
two players, all played in a span of thirty-nine months. It
felt like one long match, with this final game in December,
1987, the climax of what we had started in September 1984. My
plan for the final game had to consider not only what I would
like best but what my opponent would like least. And what
could be more annoying for Karpov than my turning the tables
and playing like Karpov?" -- Garry Kasparov, excerpt from "How
Life Imitates Chess", 2007, Bloomsbury Publishing USA, ISBN:

an attack, I moved my knight to the central e5 square,
offering a pawn. Karpov took the bait and grabbed the pawn, a
temptation that could have led to disaster. And he had to play
quickly now, as it was still a long way to move 40, when, by
the rules then in force, the game would be adjourned and more
time added before continuation the next day. -- Kasparov, "How
Life Imitates Chess"} Nxa4 32.Rxc8+ {I exchanged rooks,
leaving me with queen, knight, and bishop against his queen
and two knights. He had an extra pawn, but I had seen a
tactical possibility that would give me a powerful attack. His
pieces were dangerously uncoordinated, and his king was
vulnerable. If I could penetrate into his position with my
queen, I could exploit both of these factors at the same
time. The question was where to move my queen on move
33. Karpov could only wait, knowing he would have to reply
almost immediately or he wouldn't have enough time to make the
next eight moves without losing on time. -- Kasparov, "How
Life Imitates Chess"} Nxc8 33.Qd1 {Lost in thought, I was
startled by a tap on my shoulder. The Dutch arbiter leaned
over and said, "Mr. Kasparov, you have to write the moves." I
had become so wrapped up in the game that I had forgotten to
make note of the last two moves on my score sheet as required
by the rules. The arbiter was of course correct to remind me
of the regulations, but what a moment to be strict!
Distracted, I played my queen to the wrong square. I missed a
subtlety and failed to see why a different move with the same
idea would have been stronger. My move gave Karpov a clever
defense, and suddenly he was one move from reclaiming his
title. But under pressure from the clock, he missed the best
move (though our exchange of errors would not be discovered
until well after the game), and the momentum was still with
me. -- Kasparov, "How Life Imitates Chess"} Ne7 34.Qd8+ Kh7

my forces surrounded the black king. I regained my sacrificed
pawn with interest, and by the time we reached move 40, ending
the time scramble, my position was clearly superior. The game
was adjourned until the next day with the title still up in
the air. It was going to be a long night. Getting a good
night's sleep before the game had been wise, but now there was
work to do. Thirteen pieces were still on the board, including
queens, too much material for definitive endgame analysis. I
had an extra pawn, but with such limited material, Karpov had
definite chances of a draw. A lot of chess was still ahead. --
Kasparov, "How Life Imitates Chess"} Qf6 41.Qb5 Qe7 42.Kg2
{The best news was that I could play this position forever,
maneuvering around to provoke a mistake by my opponent. Black
would be tied down on defense the entire time, and Karpov knew
it. The prospect of such prolonged torture took its toll; I
could see it in his eyes when he walked on the stage a few
minutes after I did. His fatalistic expression told me that he
had already lost the game psychologically, which boosted my
confidence. -- Kasparov, "How Life Imitates Chess"} g6 {The
maneuvering began. I remember being surprised when early on
Karpov made a pawn push that my team and I had established as
bad for black's defensive chances. Apparently Karpov and his
team disagreed with our analysis, or perhaps it was a
psychological error. Sometimes the hardest thing to do in a
pressure situation is to allow the tension to persist. The
temptation is to make a decision, any decision, even if it is
an inferior choice. And Karpov's move made the position more
concrete, reducing the level of uncertainty. But in my favor,
his structure was now fixed, presenting me with clearer
targets. Convinced of the quality of our analysis, I took
Karpov's significant deviation from it as a mistake, not a
potential improvement, further increasing my confidence. --

steady squeezing, I began to feel the win was in the
bag. Karpov's pieces were pinned up against the wall, and a
little more maneuvering would lead to decisive material
gain. Later I heard that FIDE President Florencio Campomanes
was busy calling a special meeting in another room to decide
how to handle the closing ceremony, which was scheduled to be
held on the same day. But it still looked as if this game
could last forever; what was to be done? Two crises were
averted at once when someone ran into the meeting room to
announce, "Karpov resigned!" It was without question the
loudest and longest standing ovation I had ever received
outside my native country. The theater thundered as Spanish
television cut from futbol to broadcast the conclusion of the
match. I had done what Karpov had failed to do in 1985: won
the final game and drawn the match to retain my title. This
time I would have a good, long time to enjoy it. -- Garry
