Poor Tartakower... he was such a good player, but he is most famous for these two LOSSES (along with Capablanca-Tartakower, the Rook on the 7th rank game).
The blunder was 8.Nxe4??. If this hadn't been played, Bg5 would not have been double check after Qd8, as it was in the game.

I am alluding to Tartakower's famous saying that the winner of a chess game is the player who makes the second to last blunder.

That was very clever! Nice
Nah, if it were really clever I would have said his blunder was in not playing 2. Ke2.

There is a difference between cleverness, and the most tired joke ever
Not only is that joke tired, it has the munchies.

I could be on mushrooms and wouldn't laugh at a bongcloud joke.
That's because you're not supposed to smoke mushrooms.
Remeber, I beat Lenny Bongcloud with the revolutionary move, 2.Qh5!!, which is now one of the first things that are taught to a beginner!
Ok, but can you draw against him when he has white?

Put an eighth of mushrooms into a mason jar with 6 ounces of everclear. Put it in a dark place for 3 weeks. Open the jar, and and put the mushrooms on a paper towel, in an open space over night. Take a little piece of mushroom, and put it in you bowl with a bit of pipe tobacco. Smoke it, and enjoy!
GM Richard Reti - GM Savielly Tartakower [B15]
Vienna - 1910
This game is a good example that even GM's blunder from time to time.
