Notes by C. von Bardeleben.
- 3…e5 This move is not to be recommended, since it does not further Black's development. The book-move is P to K 3.
- 4…h6 Obviously with the intention of preparing Kt to K B 3 or K 2; but the move P to K R 3 loses too much time, and therefore gives the opponent the advantage of by far quicker development. Better would be B to K 2; 5. Castles, P to Q 3, &c.
- 7…Bd6 A weak move. Preferable would be B to Kt 3.
- 11…O-O Black would defend himself for a longer time by R to K Kt sq, although Black's game at length could not be sufficiently defended.
