1. e4 e5 2. f4 d5 3. exd5 e4 4. d3 Nf6 5. dxe4 Nxe4 6. Nf3 Bc5 7. Qe2 A move that leads to many interesting complications. 7... Bf5!! With this move, Tarrasch brilliantly defeated Spielmann in Ostrau, 1923. Very interesting is 7... Bf2+ 8. Kd1 Qxd5+ 9. Nfd2!! f5 10. Nc3. 8. Nbd2 8. g4? O-O!! 9. gxf5 Re8 -+ 8... Qxd5 9. g4??
