Featured is a famous chess game between Richard Reti and Savielly Tartakower from Vienna 1910. With Reti’s objectively strong 5th move (Qd3) against the Caro-Kann Defense, a trap is set. On lichess nearly 8,000 games reply to 5. Qd3 with Bf5, a serious blunder of a piece. An even greater blunder by Tartakower occurs in this game. We observe in Reti’s combination one of the most aesthetic finishes to a game right out of the opening. It is one that features a queen sacrifice, followed by a double check, and then checkmate after only 11 moves.

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
