Notable chess games

• Jaroslav Sajtar vs Bogdan Sliwa, Warsaw 1947, Queen's Gambit Accepted (D23), 1-0 A nice, very short game: Undeveloped Black position is successfully attacked by the White light pieces.
• Jaroslav Sajtar vs Ludek Pachman, UJCS-17. Kongress 1943, Nimzo-Indian, 4.e3 O-O 5.Bd3 (E47), 1-0 Another short game of two (then young) Czech masters demonstrates a typical exchange sacrifice for the sake of attack.
