|0,6,9,0,aimage.png,B,2,5,9,0,blank.png,B|||||As we've come to expect, Tartakower plays in the hypermodern style, controlling the center from the flanks instead of occupying it with pawns. |||This odd-looking move serves a number of purposes: it prevents d2-d4, inhibits e2-e4 (because of ...dxe3 e.p.), and prevents Nc3. |||Tartakower decides to give the center to his opponent. White will now expand on the Queenside. Alternative variation: 3.g3 {This has also been played successfully. The idea is to fianchetto the Kingside Bishop and control the center from afar. } |||You would think that Janowski would continue with his central strategy. Instead he plays a defensive move to counteract White's Queenside intentions. ||||||||||||Alternative variation: 4...dxe3 6.fxe3 {Black has given up his central pawn majority.} |||||||||White has a Queenside pawn majority, so this is the side from which he should launch his attack. Black has a central pawn majority, so his attack will probably come straight up the middle. ||||||||||||The fianchettoed Bishop strikes at the Queenside -- where White will ideally launch his attack. |||||||||||||||||||||Alternative variation: 11...Bxd3 13.Bxc5 Qxc5 14.Qxd3 {Black would be down a piece for a pawn.} |||||||||||||||||||||||||||The basic problem here is that Janowski has weakened the pawn structure on both sides of the board, leaving his King nowhere to run. ||||||Note that Tartakower has switched his emphasis from the Queenisde to the Kingside in order to take advantage of the new opportunities there. |||||||||Note that the White Queen and King are on the same open file. This is extremely dangerous. Black could play ...Kf8 followed by ...Rg8 and win the White Queen. |||Though there was no immediate danger to the Queen, Tartakower removes it from the open file to prevent any unpleasant surprises from happening later. |||||||||||||||Janowski is plugging the holes but his King is all alone in the center. This can't be good... |||There are two Black units "controlling" f4 -- but this is just an illusion. Both the e5-pawn and g6-Knight are pinned. |||This eliminates both pins, but now White can easily break through. ||||||The idea is ...Nf4, checking the King and winning the Queen. Alternative variation: 23...fxe5 25.Qg5+ Kc7 26.h5 Rg8 27.Kh1 Bd7 ( 26...h6 28.Qxh6 ) 28.hxg6 Rxg6 29.Qe7 |7,7,9,0,aimage.png,B,7,6,9,0,blank.png,B|||||||||||Keep your eye on this four-square block. |||Tartakower nicely forks the King and f6-pawn, but the pawn will not fall quite yet. ||||||Wow! Janowski's in a world of trouble now. It's easy to see the effect that opening up his own Kingside has had. The Black Queen is the only piece defending the e6-Bishop and it has no retreat square from which it can continue to protect it. |||Desperation. Janowski would like nothing better than a Queen swap, but that's just not going to happen. ||||||Alternative variation: 28...Qd7 30.Qxg8+ |||Tartakower sacrifices a Rook to open lines for his attack. ||||||||||||Alternative variation: 32.Qxf5+ Qd7 33.Qxd7+ Kxd7 34.Rf7+ Ke6 35.Rxb7 {White has a huge material advantage and the Black King is caught in the board's center.} |||
