Notes by E. Schiffers.
- 4…dxe4 Here the move recommended by Steinitz, P to B 3, is more frequently played, or Kt to K 2, followed by P to B 3 if 5. Q to R 4.
- 7.f4 To 7. Kt x Kt the correct answer would be 7. ... Kt x Kt and not P x Kt (8. B to K 2).
- 8…Be6 B to Q 2 can be played here; after 8... P to R 3 might follow 9. B to K 2, but not 9. B to B 4, Q to K R 4, and Black threatening P to Kt 4 gains time. If 9. B to B 4, Q to K 5, ch (?), then 10. K to B 2, B to K 3; II. P to Q 3, with a good game.
- 14.d5 Here and in the succeeding move White can apparently take the Knight's Pawn with impunity.
- 22.Nd5 Here White could play B x Q Kt P although the P at B 6 cannot be maintained, still White obtains the attack afterwards by Kt to Q 5.
- 25.Qd3 Defending the Pawn at B 6.
- 26.Rxf7 Prettily conceived. (See diagram.)
- 26…Ne2+ If R x R; 27. Kt to Kt 6, ch, P x Kt; 28. R x R, ch, R to B sq (!) (K to R 2; 29. Q mates); 29. R x R, ch, Q x R; 30. Q x Kt, with a Pawn ahead.
- 32.h3 32.... R to B 8, ch; 33. R x R, Q x R, ch; 34. K to R 2, Q to B 5, ch, &c.
