- 9.exd5 Compare Col. 30, where we give B—K2 at this juncture, but with no better result, for White, whose game is already compromised.
- 10.f3 If 10 B—K2, 10 R—K sq.; 11 O—O (or 11 PxKt, 11 BxB; 12 Q—Q2, 12 Kt—Kt5+); 11....BxB; 12 KtxB, 12 KKt—KKt5, and wins.
- 12…Bxf3 Excellent play.
- 13.Qd2 If 13 PxB, 13 KtxKBP ch.; 14 K—B sq., 14 Q—R6 mate.
- 13…h6 Of course, quite good enough, but 13....Kt—KKt5 was likely to lead to the following brilliant termination: 14 Q—Kt5, 14 BxP; 15 QxQ, 15 Kt—B6 ch.; 16 K—Q sq.; 16 Kt—B7 mate.
