- 11.Re1 Up to this point the play of both parties has proceeded as in the lines of the preceeding game, but here White loses time in order to lay a trap against the established defence.
- 11…Nc5 B—B4 with the view of advancing P—KB3, or P—Q3 accordingly, was the right play.
- 13…f6 K—R sq. was now indispensable as a precaution.
- 15.Bxg7 Excellent play. There is no good defence against this fine stroke.
- 17…Kf8 If K—R sq., he comes at with a clear R behind by the answer KtxR ch., followed by QxKt ch., and ultimately RxB.
- 19.Qf4+ The R must interpose which White will capture with the Kt followed by QxP, etc.
