Game 8 - Przepiorka - Prokes
Budapest 1929
Colle System
The first inaccuracy is 12...Nxe4. With the Black Knight under attack from both bishop and knight, there is some simple logic in capturing first. The analysis engine prefers 12...Bd7
The disadvantage of the engine's preferred 12...Bd7 is 13.Nxf6 Nxf6 14.Bxf6 gxf6 and the shelter for Black's King is blown open.
After 12...Nxe4, White can either recapture with the bishop or with the Rook. Which piece should you capture with?
13.Rxe4 is better than Bxe4 capture because if Bxe4 and Black responds with 14.Bd7 then White moves out of the way with 14...Bd3 and cannot defend the Knight on f3, so 15...Bxf3 16.Qxf3 Bxh2+ and the board would look like this:
Is it not Bb7 and not Bd7?
I have been recommending Chernev’s books for decades. His Practical Chess Endings and The Most Instructive Games of Chess Ever played are great. I tell students that these books have likely had the greatest impact on my chess development.

Gothenburg 1920
Queen's Gambit Declined
Chernev's introduction:
"Rubinstein-Maroczy (No. 33) is a splendid all-around performance, Rubinstein's economic development in the opening results in magnificient middlegame centralization, and this in turn is a prelude to a kingside attack in the ending. Not the least of this game's attractions is the remarkable use of d5 as a pivot for the manoeuvres of Rubinstein's knight, bishop, rook and queen, who each utilize this square in turn as a landing field!"
Game analysis (depth 30)
White Black
CAPS 92.5% 72.1%
Best 18 13
Inaccuracy 1 1
Mistakes 3 3
Blunder 0 0
Maroczy's first mistake is 22...Be6. The best move is 22...Bg4
However Rubinstein gradually accumulated an advantage before move 22.
There were a few suboptimal Queen moves made by Black: 17...Qb8 where 17...Qb6 is better, and 18...Qa7 where 18...a5 would have been better.
Black's second mistake is 28...Rc7. The best move is 22...Qa8
Black's final mistake is 30...Kh1. The best move is 30...Rf7
Chernev concludes: "An impressive, deeply satisfying game, one of the finest in the literature of chess."
