Notes by R. Teichmann.

1. 4…Bb4 Avoiding the complications arising from B to B 4, after which White may turn into the King's Gambit declined with P to K B 4.
2. 5.Ne2 This development of the Knight appears a little unnatural; I prefer Kt to K B 3.
3. 8.Bb5 This I cannot approve of. B to Kt 3 is much better, as Black then cannot exchange the Bishops without allowing one of the White Knights to enter at K B 5.
4. 18.fxg6 Necessary, because if Q to R 6, then Kt x P.
5. 20…f5 Too aggressive. Kt to K sq would have given him a safe position, with good prospects of taking advantage of the weakness in White's game (Pawn at K 4).
6. 24…Qd5 Very ingenious. By the sacrifice of the exchange he frees himself from all difficulties, and gets even winning chances.
7. 37.Kg1 It is curious to agree to a draw in this position, which certainly would admit of much play. We think Black has slightly the best of it, but after a careful analysis of the position I have come to the conclusion that he has not enough to win.
