This defense to the Ruy Lopez
attack,
was, we believe, first introduced by Hirschfeld. |

White, we think, could have won the
game here by taking off the bishop with knight and then playing 26.Rg6.
Suppose: 25.Nxd5 cxd5 26.Rg6 Rxg6 (best) 27.hxg6+ fxg6 (27...Qxg6 28.Rg1
Qe6 (or 28...Qh5) 29.Qg3 Qg6 30.Qf3 and wins) 28.Qh6+ Kg8 29.Rg1 Kf7
30.Qh7+
Ke8 31.Rxg6 Qc8 32.e6 and wins. |
25...Rxg1 26.Rxg1 Rg8 27.Rxg8 Kxg8 28.Ne2 Bxa2 29.Qg3+
Kh7 30.Nf4 Qc8 31.Ng6
** |
Whites attack having failed,
the
best he can do is to play for a drawn game. |
31...fxg6
** |
This is the best move we
believe. |
32.Qxg6+ Kh8 33.Qh6+ ½-½.
