Hastings, 6 August 1895 (Queen’s Pawn Game). Round 2. A hard-fought game in which Tinsley’s Rook penetrates by 28. R to Kt 8, ch, and the resulting King-and-Rook ending is carried by the passed Queen’s Pawn; Mason resigns on the 51st move. Notes by A. Albin.
20…Rhg8P to B 4, and if White does not take the Knight, P to Kt 5 was a strong continuation.
23…Rd6Q x Q was the proper move, and afterwards P to Kt 5, with the chances at least of a draw by Bishops of different colours in case B x Kt.
24.Bh5Doubling the Rook on the Knight’s file is better.
27…Qg7R to B 3 in order to exchange the Queens, and after that R to Kt 4 would have been better.
35.a4With 35. P x P, White could get the open file for his Rook, for if R to Kt 8, then B to Kt 6, with a winning position.
37…Qxg3+Black should not exchange the Queens.
