Tartakower uses it.
Q mentioned the Tartakower 500 games book(s) and he also mentioned
the Alekhine v Book game from the same book.
The point quote is in that game (and others.)
As I mentioned in another thread some of the game are noted
up by du Mont, but it's Tartakower doing this game.
The note in the main game (I'm going to show a variation Tartakower gives
where he uses 'the point.'😉 Tartakower writes here: (White has just played 22.Ne4-d7.)
The sanctions!
And nothing more. Pure Tartakower.
I'll give a few of Tartakowers notes to the game. Comments in () are mine.
Alekhine - Book Margate 1938. (a variation)
(rather than type in the game in I googled 'Alekine v Book' to get the score.
All I got what Amazon hits trying to sell me Alekhine's books! I had to add Margate 1938.)
1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. e3 e6 5. Bxc4 c5 6. O-O Nc6 7. Qe2 a6 8. Nc3 b5
9. Bb3 b4 10. d5 Na5 11. Ba4+ Bd7 12. dxe6 fxe6 13. Rd1 {A magnificent move, giving up a clear Rook in order to keep up his attack.}
13... bxc3 14. Rxd7 Nxd7 15. Ne5 Ra7 16. bxc3 {In White's position he can afford to make this quiet move with a view to fresh enterprises.}
16... Ke7 {(I like this bit. Black steps of the pin to free his d7 Knight.)}
17. e4 Nf6 18. Bg5 {(and it's pinned again!)}
18... Qc7 19. Bf4 {Tartakower now give this analysis. In the actual game Black played 19...Qb6.}
19... Qb7 20. Qe3 {(Threatening Qxc5+.)}
20... Kd8 21. Qd3+ Kc8 22. Rb1 Qxe4 23. Nf7 {Tartakower now writes. The final point. Although all the White pieces are now adrift, Black must succomb to the mating threats of 24.Qd8 mate or 34.Rb8 mate.}
Here is how the actual game went.
