Editorial: The PGN follows this edition’s printed move order, which differs from the archive candidate.
- 18.Kh2 18. P. to Q's 5th would have afforded White a fine opening presently into the enemy's quarters. The move really made seems to lose an opportunity.
- 20.Rc2 Again White appears to fritter away his chance, and throw the attack into his opponent's hands.
- 42.Bxb6 Better to have planted the Kt. at K's 6th, and then have pushed on with the K. Kt's Pawn.
- 47…Bd6 The decisive blow.
- 50…e3+ And White surrenders.
