Editorial: The source stops at 35...Qxc1+; the later archive continuation is omitted.
- 3…Nf6 This is unusual, and has perhaps never yet received the consideration it deserves.
- 8.Ba4 If 8. P. to Q's 4th, Black can take it with impunity; threatening B. to Q. B's 4th next move.
- 20.h4 White in a game of importance would have examined the consequences of 20. Kt. takes P., Q. takes Kt., 21. K. R. takes P., &c. I believe the attack will more than compensate the sacrifice.
- 22.g3 Again, I believe 22. Kt. takes P. to be a sound move.
- 35…Qxc1+ And White resigns.
