Notes by Dr. Tarrasch.
- 3.Bc4 The usual move here is Kt to K 4.
- 8.Qxc4 The game is about equal for the two players.
- 8…Qxd5 The exchange of Queens was preferable.
- 12…fxe6 After a dozen moves the players have reached the end game. Black, being in possession of the open Queen's file, has a slight advantage and makes the best use of it.
- 16…Rhd8 Now the superiority of Black's game is evident.
- 20.Rb5 Even without this blunder White cannot prevent some loss.
- 29…b5 Now follows the race of the Pawns and White arrives too late. The final moves need no comment; besides which the whole game is easily understood.
