Notes by J. Mason.

1. 4.g3 The ' King's Fianchetto' is seldom made use of by the first player in the Queen's Pawn's Opening. It is not considered sufficiently aggressive.
2. 9.e3 Now P to K 4 looks perfectly safe. And it would prevent Black partly taking over the attack by advancing his King's Pawn a little further on.
3. 17…Qxe2 As will be seen, the young Austrian representative is somewhat the better prepared for the semi-ending consequent upon the disappearance of the Queens.
4. 22.Be3 Yet White's position is pretty strong The isolation of the Pawn does not count for much; or, if it does, it is fairly offset by the superior influence of his Bishops. The play, however, is shy, if not dull, and ill suited to Mr. Tinsley's ingenious style. It is hard to see the good of 23. B to B 5, for instance. Why not 23. B x P, if the Bishop is to move at all? The Piece could hardly be imprisoned to capture—if P to Kt 3; 24. Kt to Kt 5, &c.—and the Pawn would be worth having.
5. 28…Nxd5 With the better game. White Bishop and Rook come in for awkward handling; while, to say nothing of Pawn, &c., the King himself is not free from peril.
6. 31.f5 There is really nothing good now, but this invitation to the Knight is the more speedily fatal.
