Notes by R. Teichmann.

1. 4…d6 Why not simply B to Kt 5, which gives Black a very good game?
2. 5…g6 There is no time now for the Fianchetto, B to K 2 and Castles being necessary.
3. 7…Nxd4 This unfavourable exchange is forced.
4. 10…a6 His game is already hopeless; there is no satisfactory defence against P to K 5.
5. 12.exd6+ Stronger than P x Kt, ch, after which the position of the Black King looks pretty safe at Q 2.
6. 13…Bxd6 Best under the circumstances. If B to Kt 2; 14. R to K 7, ch, K to B sq; 15. B x Kt, B x B; 16. Q to Kt 4, ch, winning the Queen.
7. 31.Qxb7 A somewhat easy victory. Some of the masters had a much harder task with the Signor Vergani.
