- 12…Ne4 Taking the Pawn would have left him with two isolated and helpless Pawns on his Q. B's file.
- 20.Ne6 If the attack White has obtained is not carried on with all the fiery energy with which La Bourdonnais in such positions seemed to sweep aside and overawe resistance, it is maintained to the last with much more firmness and determination than Mr. Lowenthal exhibits in most of these games.
- 29.g4 Fearing the farther advance of White's Pawn to K. Kt.'s 5th, aw 1 then to the 6th sq., attacking King and Rook.
- 52.Ke3 This latter portion of the game is conducted with remarkable precision and ability by Mr. Lowenthal.
- 55.Rf2 If he had checked with his Rook to force an exchange of Rooks, White would afterwards have gained "the opposition" with his King, and have won without difficulty.
- 58.b4 Ingeniously played. I give a diagram of this really instructive situation.
