- 6.e6 6 QKt—B3 at once reduces the option of Black to 6....P—QB3 or 6 KB—QKt5 and both are unfavorable for the defence. Compare Col. 24.
- 8…dxe4 8....BxP was no doubt better, but as shown in our Col. 24, White also obtains the advantage in that case.
- 11…Qd6 If 11....Kt—Kt5; 12 Q—B4 and wins. Or if 11....Q—Kt3; 12 O—O—O+.
- 13…Nd7 Of course if QxQ White mates by R—Q8.
