- 12.Bxe5 Mr. Trelawny wins this Pawn cleverly enough,
- 16.Qb3 I should have preferred playing R. to K's sq., or even Kt. to Q. B's 4th, or P. to Q's 4th.
- 18.Nd4 This also strikes me as an injudicious move.
- 18…Bd7 Why not have played P. to Q. B's 4th, winning afterwards the Q. P?
- 41.Nd4 A good move.
- 42.Rxd5 White had now an easy game, by checking with the R. before taking the B., ex. gr. — 42. R. to Q. Kt.'s 5th (ch.) 42. K. to R's 3rd. 43. R. takes B. 43. Q. R. to K's 6th (ch.) 44. K. to Kt.'s 4th. 44. Q. R. to Q. R's 6th. 45. Kt. to Q. Kt.'s 5th. Winning.
- 43.Kc4 K. to Kt.'s 4th would only have protracted the mate one more move.
