Notes by J. H. Blackburne.
- 3…dxc4 An inferior defence; the capture of this Pawn is the source of all Black's subsequent troubles. P to K 3 is the correct move.
- 9…b6 An error; P to Q R 3 seems to be the only move at this juncture.
- 10.d5 Well played and strong, taking immediate advantage of Black's last move.
- 11.Re1 Pressing the attack with great vigour, better than P x P at once.
- 11…Bb7 Fatal, but Black's game is hopelessly gone.
- 20.Rxf6 White plays this ending with great accuracy, quite in his old form.
