Notes by J.
- 4…dxe4 Mr. Burn is of opinion that this is the best way of taking the Bishop, and probably he is right.
- 6…gxf6 Unnecessary at present; therefore better to develop by B to Q 3.
- 7.c3 This gives Black the better game; stronger would have been Q to K 2.
- 11.Bxc6+ Better than taking the Queen's Knight's Pawn, as White might, in that case, have obtained some attack by Kt to K 5 followed by Q to K R 5.
- 12…h5 Timidly played. Castling on the Queen's side must be prevented at all hazards, therefore PxP, followed by P to Q Kt 4, was more to the purpose.
- 15.Rfe1 A bad move; Q to R 2 attacking Queen’s Bishop’s Pawn would have given a little relief.
- 22.b5 Well played, forcing P to K B 4, thereby weakening White's position.
- 24…Bg5 This also is the right move. The latter part of this game is a good specimen of Mr. Burn's play.
