• This game is from “The Golden Treasury of Chess” by I. A. Horowitz. Here is what the author wrote to introduce this game:
• “It is difficult to imagine how one could concentrate more brilliancy, more inspired inventiveness, more sparkle into so short a game. Here is the distilled essence of the very best chess of the old masters: one thrill after another!”
• I have also decided to show the board from Black’s (Dr. Lange’s) side.

3. B-N5 N-Q5 Later named Bird’s Defense after Henry Bird who explored it in the late 19th century. MCO 13 (1990) says “…is experiencing a brief renaissance. The idea is to capitalize at once on 3. B-N5.”

6. P-K5 P-Q4 White could capture this pawn en passant with his next move but that would only aid Black’s development.

8. P-KB3 This virtually forced weakening of the king side pawn structure leads to a powerful attack. The 3 kingside pawns should rarely be moved when the player plans on castling kingside.

• Dr. Max Lange’s profession was a music professor and composer. Many chessplayers are or were also amateur or professional musicians.
• I will be doing a future posting on Valentina Lisitsa, a concert pianist from Ukraine who initially intended to become a professional chessplayer. Look her up in YouTube and Wikipedia.
