This is Lilienthal’s most famous queen sacrifice which he made against the 3rd World Chess Champion Jose Raul Capablanca! In his book “Liliental’s 100 best games” Lilienthal writes: “To tell the truth, I am very grateful to Capablanca for this move! Since the time we played this game many years had passed, yet wherever I went on a demonstration tour, both in the Soviet union and elsewhere, chess players and fans always asked me to show them how I sacrificed the queen against the great Cuban.”
