Notes by E. Schiffers.
- 2…g6 A good continuation, preventing P to Q Kt 3, B to Q Kt 2, and B to Q 3, as generally played by Bird, and which gives White many chances of attack.
- 15…Nb8 Curious, but practical manoeuvres of the Knight.
- 24.Nxe4 Black has now obtained a strong passed Pawn.
- 32…Rc4 After this move, Black's Pawns rush forward with irresistible force.
