combination but with several differences - no pawns on a6, b6, a2, b2 or h2,
but with WP on a3 and f3 and the WK on g2. However, they later gave the
complete score with notes by Tinsley. Here Tinsley himself comments: "After
this Black might well have surrendered, as there is no loophole of escape. By
playing to the end, however, he allows the great master to perform prettily;

{"The first half-hour’s play in the fourth round commenced at noon to-day in
the Athenaeum Lecture Hall was marked by a sensational incident. Tarrasch and
Gunsberg were paired with each other, and on account of the emi­nence of the
players many of the spectators concentrated their attention on this game,
which promised to be a pro­longed and interesting struggle. In less than half
an hour, however, there came a sudden collapse. On his eleventh move Gunsberg
fell into a trap, and finding that the mis­hap would cost him a piece, he at
once resigned. It was stated that Tarrasch had successfully laid the same trap
for Zukertort in the Frankfort tournament. The following are the moves of what
will perhaps be known in future as “Tarrasch’s trap”" (Manchester
Evening News, 27 August 1890):—} 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nf6 (3... a6 4.

advantage.}) 8... Nf6 9. Bf4 {A troublesome move for Black, and doubtless the

very unfavourable.} 9... Nc6 {would have been much better.}) 10. Nbd2 Nh5 {

hereabouts, compromises his game almost beyond recovery.} 11. Be3 Nc6 12. h3 {
Naturally! Should Black now retire his Bishop to e6, White, by 13 Ng5, would

nothing, and gains much.} Bg5 ({This proves fatal, leading as it does to
direct loss of material, and a yet more deteriorated position.} 20... Re8 {

left him something to play for.}) 21. Bxg5 Nxg5 22. Qf6 {Forcing the exchange

nothing else. Of course, if} 22... N5e6 23. Nh6+ {, followed by 24 Nxf7+, and

White’s victory becomes merely a matter of time, and the rest is but a
struggle on Black’s part to stave off the evil moment as long as possible.}

White threatened to double his Rooks on the seventh rank, in which event
Black’s position must have become hopeless.} 25. Rxb7 Rab8 26. Rxa7 Rxb2 27.

the game is headed "A friendly contest, played August 28th, at Manchester."
This was the day before they met in the tournament proper in Manchester, yet
this score has become the de facto record of their formal 8th round game. To
add to the confusion, the Manchester Courier for Saturday 30 August stated
that the game was adjourned on the 42nd move. All very strange!} 1-0

Gunsberg two days earlier in the Masters tournament. "The minor tournament is
exciting increased atten­tion among the visitors, as the crowds round the
boards last evening testified. Mr. Schott, the only competitor with a clean
scare, was paired with Mr. Mills. No little merriment was caused when it
became known that Mr. Mills had set “Tarrasch’s Trap” for his opponent.
All were watching in breathless silence to see if Mr. Schott would fall in,
and much to the surprise of everyone he fell a victim."} 1-0
