📕 23...Qe8!
Very strong. Just as it looks as if white is generating very serious pressure, and holds the initiative, black unpins his knight, reminds white of the d-pawn's vulnerability, and threatens ...Bxf3, and under some circumstances can consider ...Bg6.

A dynamic position in which Black has "hanging pawns", the undefended queen on d6 becomes a further factor in black's unappetising task.

Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch (1862-1934) was one of the top chess players in the 1890s. He was also a medical doctor specializing in the therapeutic use of hypnotism. In his St. Petersburg 1914 tournament book , he wrote that Emanuel Lasker used his hypnotic influence on his opponents.
