Result
1/2-1/2
Game 275, Martinez, Dion M–Judd, Max, played April 9, 1889, from Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 342–343.
- 10…Qc7 The better plan was 10...Kt—QB sq.; 11 B—QB4, 11 P—KR3, with a good game wherever White's Bishop may retreat.
- 13…Bg4 The aspect of Black's game has become unfavorable. He had to stop the dangerous advance of the adverse KBP two squares, and the move in the text combined with the next move was his best plan for the purpose, but he exposes himself to other inconveniences.
- 15.Qe3 This gives Black the desired time to withdraw his Knight without ill effect. P—B4, followed by P—B5, would have formed one of Winawer's favorite positions in which his Knight and Bishop are much stronger than the two Bishops on account of the doubled Pawn on the other side that cannot easily be dissolved, to which may be added in the present instance the blocked situation of Black's QB.
- 31…Ne7 Attack and defence have been well planned and executed by the two players up to this. But here Black ought to have played Kt—Q3, with the view of Kt—KB2, which either forced an exchange, or enabled the Knight to enter at KKt4 with good defensive effect.
- 32…Rd7 An error. 32...R—Q3; 33 Q—Kt4, 33 P—KKt4, and if 34 P x P en pass., 34 Kt x P, was his best defence. But it should be noticed that Black could not leave the diagonal commanding his own KR3 without being subjected to a brilliant mate. If, for instance, 32...Q x KtP; 33 Q x P ch., 33 K x Q; 34 R—R4 mate, the Black Queen being no more able to interpose at R3.
- 66…R8d7 White has mismanaged his game by aiming at impossible mating manoeuvres instead of directing his forces at once against the adverse Q side. At present, Black, who has defended himself splendidly, has, in our opinion, the best of the game and had fair prospects of winning. If, for instance, 67 K—R4 (there seems nothing better), 67...R—K7; 68 R—K3, 68 R—QKt7; 69 P—B4, 69 R (Q2)—Q7, with an excellent attack, for, supposing now 70 K—R3, then still 70...R x P ch.; 71 Q x R, 71 R x Q ch.; 72 K x R, 72 Kt—Kt5 ch., and wins.
