Board 3 of the St. George's Chess Club blindfold display (20 April 1859); a Ruy Lopez against Mr. H. G. Catley.
- 6.Nc3 This prevents the adverse Pawn from being advanced to Queen's 4th, and is White's proper move.
- 10.Be3 We should rather have taken Knight with Knight.
- 22…d5 Great care and accuracy on both sides are required at this stage of the game. We represent the position after Black's 22nd move.
- 29…Ra4 An error; but the game was previously lost, White having a Pawn ahead and a better position.
- 31.Nxa6 And wins.
