Noa–Tarrasch, Dresden 1892 — a model positional win by Siegbert Tarrasch in the Berlin Defence of the Ruy Lopez. Emanuel Lasker held it up in Common Sense in Chess (1896) as an example of classical play against weak squares; his public-domain notes follow.

1. 8…O-O Now Black's development is excellent, and the Pawn position unassailable.
2. 11.c3 White has no time for such a move. (11) B - Kt 3, Kt - R 4; (12) Kt - B 3, Kt x B; (13) R P x B, B - Q 3; (14) Q - B 3, P - Q B 3; (15) B - B 4, is a sounder line of play.
3. 11…Bf5 Immediately bearing down on the weak points of White, Q 3, Q B 2.
4. 15.Qh3 This manoeuvre has not much point. (14) B - Q B 2 is more to the purpose.
5. 15…c6 From here to the end Black's play is simply classical. Mark how finely Black will combine the advantage resulting from the weak position of the White Queen, the slight weakness contained in the loose and ineffective positions of the White Bishops, his own strongly posted Q B, and the lack of protection of the White Q Kt P for a highly logical and successful attack.
6. 17…a5 Capital! Developing the Q R, dislodging the obstruction, and keeping the Q Kt P in its unsafe position.
7. 20…f5 Grand! He forces White to advance either the K Kt P or K B P. In the latter case K 5 becomes a very strong point, in the former the Q is obstructed, and the P position weakened.
8. 23…Qb5 Preventing Q - Q 3, and again bearing down on the central weak points of the White game.
9. 26…c5 To get his reserve force, the K B, into play.
10. 37.Kg2 A mistake. (37) B x B, R x B; (38) R - Q is by far the preferable policy.
11. 37…Bxc3 Energetic and decisive, but not very difficult to foresee.
12. 39…Bb3 And White resigns, for after (40) K - B 2, P - Q 7; (41) K - K 2, B - B 5 ch. he will lose his Rook.
