B. takes Kt. 17. B. takes B. (best) 18. P. takes P. 18. B. takes P. (best). (If he take with the Kt., P. to Q. Kt.'s 4th wins White a Piece.) 19. Q. takes Kt. 19. B. takes B. 20. P. takes B. (best) 20. Q. takes P. (ch.) 21. R. to K. B's 2nd (best) 21. B. takes Kt. 22. Q. R. to Q. B's 7th. (If White take the B. with his Kt. P. first, he will get an inferior game.) 22. Q. to K.
