Notes by R. Teichmann.

1. 4…Nc6 This is against the elementary rules, to obstruct the Queen's Bishop's Pawn with the Knight in close games. The move can only be good when a break in the centre with P to K 4 is feasible.
2. 8…Bb7 Thereby trying to rectify the mistake pointed out in Note 1.
3. 10…Nxd5 Here P x P would be better to prevent an advance of the White King's Pawn.
4. 12…Bd6 White has not taken proper advantage of Black's feeble development, and Black would now have at least equalised the game with P to Q B 4. I cannot see the object of the text move.
5. 18.e4 Initiating a powerful attack. The advance of this Pawn is mostly decisive in close games, and it is therefore necessary to re-take with the Pawn when an exchange takes place on Q 4.
6. 23…Qe7 There was no defence against the double threat B to Kt 5 and B to R 6.
7. 27…g6 A blunder; but his game is hopeless anyhow.
