Notes by J. H. Blackburne.
- 4…Nc6 This brings about a drawish position of the Four Knights' Opening. Kt X Kt, and then defending Pawn by P to K B 3, is perfectly safe.
- 5.Nxe4 B X P, ch, is sometimes played, but Black comes out with the superior game.
- 9…Ba6 This certainly prevents Castling on the King's side, but P to K B 4 would have been a stronger and more attacking line of play.
- 13.Qg4 Forcing the exchange of Queens, and thereby securing a draw.
- 17…c5 Unnecessary, because the Knight could not go to Q 4 with advantage.
- 20.g3 P to K Kt 4 would be more vigorous, because the Bishop could not take the Pawn on account of R to Kt sq.
- 22…Ref7 Again P to K Kt 4 is the proper play.
- 27…Bg6 Both players appear satisfied with the draw.
