'DAZ'-Lösungsanalyse: "Den starken Drohungen des Schw. (Dxe8, Tb3-a3,h2-h1=D) kann Wß. nur durch starke Mattdrohungen begegnen. Als solche ergibt sich 1. Sd4-f5, was 2. Da1-h1+ und 2. Da1-a6 (--c6 oder b7) droht. Die stärkste Erwiderung ist natürlich Dh8xa1, worauf Sd7-f6 matt folgen könnte, wenn die D von der Deckung des Feldes f6 abgesperrt werden könnte. Das erreicht aber Wß. durch 2. c2-c4+, worauf Schw. b4xc3ep spielen muß und Sd7-f6 matt setzt. Nun hat Schw. gegen 2. Dh1+ auch die Verteidigung La7-g1, was auch die Fortsetzung 2. Da1-a6 (wegen Dh8-a1) ausschließt. Dann schließt aber Wß. durch 2. e2-e4+ f4xe3ep die L-Schräge und Sd7 gibt auf b6 matt. Nicht minder fesselnd gestaltet sich das Spiel, wenn Bd3 von einem T geschlagen wird: 1. ... Tb3xd3 2. c2-c4+ b4xc3ep 3. Da1-a2 matt und 1. ... Th3-d3 2. e2-e4+ f4xe3ep 3. Da1-h1 matt. In diesem Fall wird durch das erzwungene Kreuzen ['DAZ'-Sprechweise für "en passant-Schlagen"] der betr. T verhindert, zwischenzusetzen. Die Aufgabe, die also mittels des Kreuzens einmal die Sperrung zweier Schrägen, das anderemal die Sperrung einer seitlichen Turmreihe durchsetzt, ist ein Meisterwerk ersten Ranges."

'DAZ' gibt als Quelle "1. Preis Strategie-Turnier 1908" an.

PR Josef Breuer: "Man glaubt auf den ersten Blick, das Ende einer Glanzpartie vor sich zu haben, aus der man kurzerhand einige überflüssige Steine (wie die weißen Bauern) herausgeschoben habe; aber dann entfaltet sich ein reizvolles und unerbittliches strategisches Spiel, das in allen Phasen einzig von der schwarzen Rochade bestimmt wird. Gewiß ist die Schlüsselfigur ein reiner Störstein, aber er ist so sinnvoll harmonisch eingesetzt, daß seine Existenz und Aktion geradezu das Salz des Geschehens bildet."
