Notes by A. Albin.

1. 5.Nd5 Not good in this position; only when Black has played P to Q R 3 and the White Bishop is on Q R 4 sq. The ex-champion, Mr. Steinitz, has refuted this variation in the Ruy Lopez in his match with Zukertort, and we have now a complete analysis, which shows that the game is lost for White. Dr. Tarrasch has played it against Albin, and won on this analysis after twenty moves.
2. 10…Bd6 Dr. Tarrasch played here at once P to K B 4, which is stronger.
3. 12.c4 That seems to be the best.
4. 12…Be7 The consequence of Black not playing (immediately after B to Q 3) Q to R 5, in order to weaken the King's flank Pawns, which is the principal idea in this opening. (See the game Albin v. Tarrasch, Aug. 20.)
5. 13.d5 Instead of this he should play P to Q Kt 4 (!) and B to Kt 2, the only way for a counter-attack.
6. 18.Bg4 A blunder which loses at once. Mr. Steinitz played this ending very finely.
