Notes by R. Teichmann.

1. 1…g6 This was the last game in the Tournament, and Herr von Bardeleben had to win the game if he wanted to be amongst the prize winners. He adopted, therefore, an opening which is but little analysed and allows of complications.
2. 7.d5 A very bad move, especially after he has developed the B to B 4.
3. 10…f5 Quite right; the attack of the first player need not be feared with all his Pieces blocked in.
4. 32.Ne6+ Black has by far the best of the end game; his Rook is able to take possession of the open file and the White King's Bishop's Pawn is very weak.
5. 38…Nh2 Having conducted the whole end game with great skill and accuracy, Herr von Bardeleben reaps now the benefit of his superior strategy. White has to give up a Piece for the passed Pawn.
