17...Be8!
This retreat provides the f7-square for the king. Black is finding unexpected resources on the chessboard – the e7-square for the king and the e8-square for the bishop.
18.Qg3 Kf7 19.Rad1 Bc6 And now the lithe bishop returns to c6. Black is well on the way to having every piece mobilized.

31.Bc6!
An aggressive form of defence: Short not only meets the threat of 31...Rfe8, but even prevents Black from doubling rooks on the e-file.
31...Kh7?
A key moment. White's next move carries us firmly into Reuben Fine's 'the king is a strong piece: use it!' endgame territory.
32.Qg4!
Thanks to the king doing a job on d3, rather than hiding away on g1, the white queen doesn't have to worry about defending e3. With the exchange of queens, White's pawn mass on the queenside becomes the most significant factor.
32...Qxg4 33.hxg4+/-

🔹 Irving Chernev
🔹 Russian-American chess Master
🔹 Chess Author
♦️ Irving Chernev was a chess player and prolific Russian-American chess author. He was born in Pryluky in the Russian Empire and emigrated to the United States in 1920. Chernev was a national master strength player, and was obsessed with chess.
🔘 Born: January 29, 1900
Pryluky, Russian Empire
🔘 Died: September 29, 1981
San Francisco, United States
🔘 Occupation: chess author
🔘 Spouse(s): Selma Kulik
♦️Irving Chernev was born in Priluki in the Ukraine. He was a noted chess author, with books aimed for the beginner to below master level. He passed away in San Francisco, California, USA in 1981.
♦️Chernev's deep love for the game is obvious to any reader of his books. Chess historian Edward Winter commented:
Although C.N. Chess Notes items have shown that he sometimes cut corners, he was active at a time when writing and scholarship were not regarded as a natural pairing and when anecdotes and other chestnuts were particularly prevalent. Few were interested in sources. Above all, in the pre-digital age the work of writers in his field was far harder; they could not fill in gaps in their knowledge with press-of-a-button ‘research’. …
Chernev’s output — clear, humorous and easy-going — gave the impression of effortlessness, but much industry lay behind it all. …
Although his prose was often conversational, it was literate and carefully structured, bearing no resemblance to the ultra-casual ‘I’m-just-one-of-the-lads’ stuff increasingly seen in chess books and magazines since his time. We have also been struck by the scarcity of typographical errors in Chernev’s writing throughout his life.
♦️ Today we have selected a memorable game by Siegbert Tarrasch from one of Chernev's informative and classic books, " Logical Chess Move By Move "
This game completely has analysed by Chernev in game 29 of book and we have prepared it for our members in a pdf format booklet.👇🏼👇🏼
