Nice Combination by Marmorosh

Source: Davar, Sept. 10th, 1937, p. 3
On Sept. 5th, (p. 6), Marmorosh reported in Davar he will give a simultaneous display at the chess club in 4 Allenby St., Tel Aviv, on the 7th. Three days later, he reported the result (+27 -3 =4) in his column, as well as the following position. Apparently, Marmorosh, like some other masters, was willing occasionally to play black in such displays.

The game continued (Marmorosh's annotations):

1. ... Rf3! 2. Re1 (of course 2. gxf3 Nxf3+ - A. P.) Qg3+ 3. Kg1 Rf2!! 4. Qxf2 Nf3+ 5. Qxf3 exf3 6. Rc1 f2+ 7. Kh1 Bf3! 0-1

A bit generous on the exclamation points, perhaps, but a nice finishing-off combination nonetheless; and thanks to the commentator below for pointing out my original typo (writing the impossible 2. Re3 instead of 2. Re1).

    Thank you for the post, beautiful combination, and quite exceptional for a simul.

    * 2. Re3 cannot be correct. Probably you meant Re1?? [which is practically giving the game away - it's important to still be able to bring it to the second rank later, which is impossible from e1 after f4-f3] (Perhaps a nice try would have been 2.c6 (followed by 3.Be6) when the given combination would not have been possible anymore.
