BEFORE THE MOVE
Find a way to draw the king out of e8 with check.
Richard Réti has White. Tartakower has just captured on e4 with his knight. The black king is still on e8; the white rook faces the d-file.
WHAT HAPPENED
9. Qd8+ forces …Kxd8. Then 10. Bg5+ is a double check: moving the bishop also opens the rook’s file. Tartakower resigned here; the recorded game ends before checkmate.
