Score
- 9…O-O If 10 QxP, he loses a piece by 10....R—K sq.; 11 Kt—K5, 11 B—Q3; followed by P—KB3.
- 11.c3 We prefer now 11....Q—Q4; 12 PxB, 12 P—QR4; followed by B—R3.
- 18…Bd3 Threatening R—Kt3.
- 19…Qd6 He ought to have still continued with 20 R—Kt3, for if 20....QxQ; 21 RxP ch., 21 K—R sq.; 22 RxBP dis. ch., 22 K—Kt sq. (or 22....Q—K4; 23 RxR ch., 23 K—Kt2; 24 BxQ ch., 24 KxR; 25 BxP+), 23 R—Kt7 ch., and draws.
- 20…a5 As White evidently aimed at the square where this P stood, it was best not to give up the P.
- 26…Rg5 Better was R—R2, but then Black would have played P—KR3, followed by doubling Rooks against the KRP, which would also be further attacked by the B if White in the meanwhile castled. If, however, 27 P—R6, 27 RxP; 28 PxP ch., 28 K—Kt sq.; 29 O—O—O, 29 RxP; 30 QR—R sq., 30 P—K6, and wins.
- 29.Kb2 After this White's game is untenable.
