Frank Marshall Brilliancy

Sort:

I'm trying to locate a game played by Frank Marshall many years ago in which he made a Queen sacrifice that was described by Fred Reinfeld in one of his books as "The most beautiful move ever made on a chessboard.". I don't recall what year it was played or who the opponent was. Does anyone have any knowlege of this game, or could anyone provide a link to it? Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks.

First of all let me say thank you so much for finding this game for me Tegath.

Even though Fred Reinfeld may have been overstating it slightly, he was not too far off. Like a beautiful work of art, after more than 100 years, for those of us that love chess, 23 ...   Qg3  is a marvel that inspires any of us that love the game.

Thanks again.
