HEART
OF CHESS DARKNESS
Exterminate
all the brutes! The horror!
The horror! Abomination of
desolation! Mistah Kurtz - he dead.
We enter the heart of chess darkness, the cavern of monstrosities.
Not the heights of Victor Hugo’s “Great blunders” that are “like
large ropes” made “of a multitude of fibers”;
but the hollows where freaks lurk and hope disappears.

Put that Knight back on g8. The
move is ... f7-f6, not ... Nf6.

Marshall, the combinative wizard, IS going to take the Queen WITH CHECK,
isn’t he?
He wouldn’t
contribute further to our demoralization by moving his Queen where
it can be
forked by an opponent WITH CHECK, would he?
He will take that lady WITH CHECK, right?
15. Qe3+???
Wrong! White refuses to take
his opponent’s Queen WITH CHECK. Instead,
he opts to lose his Queen after a Knight fork WITH CHECK.
15. ... Kd8 16. Bxd7 Nxg2+ 17.

Black consolidated and eventually won.
