Chapter 11 of 13

Games 28–35: Sicilian, Centre Counter and Caro-Kann

Four Sicilians, among them Spielmann's combination against Tarrasch with three minor pieces for the Queen; Mieses on both sides of the Centre Counter; Emanuel Lasker's draw against Niemzowitsch; and Réti's eleven-move mate of Tartakower.

Every example is on its own board: click a move or use the arrows, and the notes appear beside the board. The number under the board is Stockfish's evaluation for White (minus means Black is better), or the exact result when few enough pieces are left.
