Notes by C. von Bardeleben.
- 3…dxe4 I think the older move Kt to K B 3 is better. After Black's P X P he has a cramped game, because his Queen's Bishop remains shut in.
- 6…Nxf6 Better than 6. Kt to K B 3, for if 6. Kt to K B 3, then Kt x Kt; 7. B X Kt, Kt to B 3, and Black gains time for his development.
- 17.b4 A great mistake. Now the King's Pawn becomes very weak. Preferable would be P to K 4.
- 17…Qe7 White takes advantage of the opponent's mistake very cleverly.
- 22…h5 This counter-attack has no chance and compromises Black's game, though other moves would hardly save him; for example, if B to Q 2, then 23. Q to B 7, or if P to Q Kt 3, then 23. K R to K sq, B to Kt 2; 24. B X P, ch, K to R sq; 25. R to Q 7, and White wins.
