Reply to this topic Return to forumHans Bruening wins this game in six moves without touching a piece!! [Technically, Pawns are not pieces.]
Berlin, 1907
AMATEUR BRUENING
1 PQ4 PQ4
2 PQB4 PK3
3 Kt~~QB3 P~QB4
4 B~~B4 PxQP
5 BxKt PxKt
6 B~~K5 PxKtP
Black wins. White is helpless against the treats of 7 . . . PxR and 7 . . . B~~Kt5ch winning the Queen.
A good solid position must have more than just eye-appeal. White’s game is pleasing in it’s symmetry, but the whole structure collapses before a blow is struck!

1. PK4 \| \| PK3
2. PQ4 \| \| PQ4
3. KtQ2 \| \| PQB4
4. KP x P \| \| KP x P
5. P x P \| \| B x P
6. KtK2 \| \| QKt3
A remarkable position. White is faced with a trilemma (choice of three evils).
