That's a beautiful mate. But I'm sure this was played in a casual , fun game. Tartakower was a strong player, top 10-15 in the world at one point. And while it is a lovely combination, it is not terribly deep. I'm sure black would never have misd it in a serious game

Edward Lasker mentions ("The Adventure of Chess") that there was a time limit of 10 seconds per move

In the link I posted:

Peter Anderberg reports that the game was published by Georg Marco in his chess column on page 10 of Neues Wiener Tagblatt, 1 April 1910, with the finish ‘10 Bg5+ Resigns’. The game was played for a small stake (ten crowns) and at a time-limit of 15 moves per hour. Below is Marco’s introduction to the game:

Als ein Unikum aber muss die nachstehende Partie gelten, in der sich Dr. S. Tartakower, einer der glänzendsten Repräsentanten der Gegenwart, vom Jungmeister Richard Réti in zehn Zügen überrumpeln liess. Dabei muss betont werden, dass die Partie nicht etwa im Eilzugstempo – “Zug-Zug” –, sondern mit vollem Ernst, mit Uhrenkontrolle (15 Züge per Stunde), um einen Einsatz von 10 K. gespielt wurde. Natürlich hat Dr. Tartakower in der nächsten Partie Satisfaktion gesucht und – wie wir zur Beruhigung seiner Freunde hinzufügen – auch gefunden.`

I'm sure your reference is correct, but it's really hard to believe that Tartakower missed that combination in a slow game. Wasn't he familiar with the game Reti - Tartakower?

This game should has been presented as Réti vs NN. Everybody would enjoy the combination and nobody would complain how Tartakover could make such a blunder.
