- 5.Bd3 White overlooks in this, as in each of the other games of this untoward match, the most evident opportunities. It would surely have been better now to maintain his attack by playing K. B. to Q. B's 4th, or P. takes K. P.
- 12.Nd2 He ought rather to have taken the K. Kt. with the Bishop, and then have given check with his Queen.
- 19.Bc2 His loss would have been less had he taken off the Kt. with his other Bishop. The move made is utterly ruinous.
