Board 2 of the London Chess Club blindfold display; a Philidor's Defence against Mr. Slous, abandoned as drawn in a bishops-of-opposite-colours ending.
- 14.Nf4 To prevent the advance of the Queen's Pawn, and in order to post one of the Knights eventually at Queen's 5th.
- 14…Ne5 A good move.
- 17…Bf6 This again is well played.
- 20…Bxe5 The adverse Bishops being of different colours, the game from its nature promises ultimately to become drawn.
- 30…R8e7 And after a few more moves the game was abandoned, as drawn.
