Editorial: The printed score continues20...fxe6 21.Rf3 beyond the archive score; these legal source moves are retained.
- 4.d4 This or Castling is undoubtedly preferable to playing 4. P. to Q's 3rd.
- 6…c6 This move, which was first given in the German Handbuch, and has been analyzed by Mr. Lange, in his Schachpartien, is not commendable.
- 7.O-O In the Schachpartien of Mr. Lange this variation is carried on as follows:—7. Castles., P. takes B., 8. B. to K. Kt's 5th, K. B. to K's 2nd, 9. P. takes Kt., K. B. takes P., 10. K. R. to K's sq. (ch.), K. to B's sq., 11. Q. B. takes B., Q. takes B.; precisely as in the present game; and it is a remarkable proof of Mr. Anderssen's neglect of Chess during the last four years, that he should know less of this analysis, originating from the German school, than his young antagonist.
- 9…Bxf6 If 9. ... P. takes P., then follows 10. Q. takes Q's P., K. R. to K. Kt's sq., 11. Q. B. to K. B's 4th.
- 19.R1e3 The purpose of this is so manifest that in his old play Mr. Anderssen would have detected it at a glance.
- 19…Rg8 Completely unmindful of the snare! He should have played 9. ... P. to K. Kt's 5th, and he would then have had at least as good a game as White.
- 21.Rf3 And White wins.
