🔸 Rudolf Spielmann
🔸 Austrian-Jewish chess player of the romantic school, and chess writer
♦️ Rudolf Spielmann was an Austrian-Jewish chess player of the romantic school, and chess writer.
🔘 Full name: Rudolf Spielmann
🔘 Country: Austria
🔘 Born: 5 May 1883
Vienna, Austria-Hungary
🔘 Died: 20 August 1942 (aged 59)
Stockholm, Sweden
♦️Spielmann was a lawyer but never worked as one. He was born in 1883, the second child of Moritz and Cecilia Spielmann, and had an older brother, Leopold, and two sisters, Jenni and Irma. Moritz Spielmann was a newspaper editor in Vienna and enjoyed playing chess in his spare time. He introduced Leopold and Rudolf to the game, and the latter quickly began to develop an aptitude for it. Spielmann was devoted to his nieces and nephews, although he never married or had children of his own. American Grandmaster Reuben Fine said in his 1945 book Chess Marches On (p.173), "In appearance and personal habits Spielmann was the mildest-mannered individual alive. Beer and chess were the great passions of his life; in his later years, at least, he cared for little else. Perhaps his chess became so vigorous as compensation for an otherwise uneventful life."
He was known as "The Master of Attack" and "The Last Knight of the King's Gambit". His daredevil play was full of sacrifices, brilliancies, and beautiful ideas. This was exemplified, for example, in the 1923 Carlsbad tournament, where he did not have a single draw (with five wins and twelve losses).

27.Nf3!
The knight heads for d4 to block the isolated pawn.
27...g6 28.Nd4 Rfd8 29.Bh3!
Now, the unpleasant threat is 30.b4 Ne6 31.Bxe6 fxe6 32.Rc7.

Subject: Ideal squares and improvement of the worst placed piece. The most problematic piece to bring into play is the d7-bishop, and something awkward like ...Kb8, ...Bc8 and ...b7-b6 is both slow and easily preventable (Bb5 at the right moment, for example). The ideal square for this bishop is, unfortunately, already occupied, so the right plan is a rearrangement of the pieces.
14...Nb8!!
This is the logical solution, although not completely natural. The knight needs to move and d7 is the best available square, so in this way, the bishop and knight simply switch places.
15.Be2 Bc6 16.Nf6 Nd7!
