Notes by A. Albin.
- 6…Qf6 B to R 3 would have been stronger, and if P to Q B 4, then 14. Kt to Kt 5, with a strong attack.
- 13.Be3 White's resources are at an end and Black should win this game.
- 31…Bf6 A weak move which allows a forced draw. The winning move is, I think, P to Q 4 (!). [The latter part of this game was rapidly played. Mr. Bird's trap was ingenious, and he is unequalled at the lightning style.—Ed.]
