Score
Editorial: This printed score ends at 44. K. to Q’s 6th (44.Kd6); the later moves in the archive candidate are omitted.
- 8.Bxd5 This very brilliant, but, for the second player, very hazardous Gambit, rarely occurs in modern Chess warfare.
- 9.Bxf7+ Preferable either to 9. Kt. takes B., or 9. B. to Q. Kt's 3rd.
- 10…Re8 The usual move is 10. ... B. to K. B's sq.
- 25.Qh3 Threatening to win the Queen.
- 44.Kd6 And White wins.
