Notes by Dr. Tarrasch.

1. 6.Qf3 Played against Englisch in the Paris Tournament of 1878. The idea lies in the succeeding moves.
2. 8.Nf3 Instead of this White could by B x Kt, followed by Q x K B P, win a Pawn; this would nevertheless not be advantageous for him, as his game would be undeveloped, and his Queen exposed to various assaults. But by the move made the Queen stands badly, as it occupies the natural outlet of the Queen's Knight. The consequence of this is that the attack is not of much value.
3. 11.a4 In order soon to drive the Knight back to Q 2 if it should play to Kt 3.
4. 12.Na3 Here the Knight is very badly placed, in consequence of hampering the Rook.
5. 12…f5 On P to K 5, Kt to Q Kt 3 and Q 4 would follow.
6. 13.h4 White tries to maintain the attack. The attack and counterattack are highly interesting. After B P x P, advantage would result for White, but Black had to carry out some interesting manoeuvres.
7. 15.Qd3 If White exchanges the Knights, the advantage to Black is evident. White therefore sacrifices the exchange.
8. 15…Ng3+ Kt x Kt would be bad on account of B x P.
9. 18…Ng3 By this charming move Black secures his advantage, and at the same time spoils the intended assault by R to K sq. (See diagram.)
10. 19…Qxd4 Simple, yet unexpected.
11. 22.Rd1 Cleverly played; Black cannot now take the Knight on account of B to B 7, ch, and R to Q 8, ch.
12. 24.Nh3 With this the Queen's side is relieved and the game practically finished.
13. 26…Rd8 Threatening R x B and B to K 4.
14. 27…Bg5 Now threatening R x B and R x Kt.
15. 28.Ne6 Other moves also are equally futile.
