The Austrian grandmaster Rudolf Spielmann was one of the greatest representatives of romantic chess, and I would like to continue the examination of his classic book The Art of Sacrifice in Chess. In today's game Spielmann intuitively sacrifices the queen just for two pieces. However, with every move Spielmann increases the pressure on his opponent's position. His remaining pieces become more and more active, while the enemy queen proves to be completely useless and eventually gets trapped.
