Result
1/2-1/2
- 5…b6 This move costs a Pawn. The best play is thought to be Kt. to K. B's 3rd.
- 9.Qe4+ K. B. to Q. R's 6th might have given him some embarrassment.
- 25…Nc5 K. R. to Q. B's sq. was a line of play worth Black's consideration.
- 32.Kf2 A palpable blunder.
- 35.Nd6 I should certainly have ventured now to shut in his Bishop by playing P. to K. B's 4th.
- 41.Kf2 K. to Q's 3rd, at this moment, affords scope for some beautiful combinations of Pawn -play, and I present, therefore, a diagram of the position before White's 41st move.
