Notes by R. Teichmann.

1. 7.Qg4 I do not believe in this move, whether played in this or other variations of the French defence; the attack of the second player on the Queen's side is as a rule stronger than White's direct King's side attack.
2. 12…b5 Black inaugurates at once a powerful attack on the Queen's side, whilst White's attack is not sufficiently prepared yet.
3. 16.Nd1 If R x P then Kt to K 5, followed by Kt to B 7, wins the exchange.
4. 19…Bb5 This sacrifice of a Pawn, although leading to a strong attack, does not appear to be quite correct. Simply 19.... Kt x B, followed by K R to Q B sq, B to Kt 4, and P to Q R 4, would have yielded a lasting attack without loss of material.
5. 30.g4 There is really nothing threatened on the Queen's side now, and he is quite right in pursuing his attack on the other wing.
6. 34.Qd3 An unaccountable mistake. Black's last move was an error, and now 34. R x Kt, R x P, ch; 35. Q x R (!), Q x Q, ch; 36. R to Kt 2 would have given White a won game (see diagram).
7. 34…Rc8 Ingenious and decisive; after this unexpected stroke the White position is beyond remedy.
8. 37…Rxb2 Black finishes the game with great vigour and elegance.
