1. 4.fxe5 We prefer 4 KP x QP, when the game might proceed: 4...P—K5; 5 P—Q3, 5 KB—QKt5; 6 P x P, 6 Kt x KP; 7 Q—Q4, and should Black venture on 7...Q—R5 ch.; 8 P—Kt3, 8 Kt x P, he would lose by 9 Q—K3 ch.
2. 6.Qe2 If 4 P— Q3, 4 Kt X Kt; 5 P X Kt, 5 P— QB4, with the better game,
3. 8.g3 We do not approve of this and would prefer Q — B2, followed by B— K2.
4. 16…Bxf5 Black has played remarkably well up to this, but by the present premature exchange, with the view of the sacrifice that follows, he compromises his game at the point when he could have much improved his position by 16. . . P—B3, to which we hardly see any satisfactory answer; for if 17 P—Q4, 17 B X Kt, followed by P x QP, or if 17 Kt— Q6, 17 B x Kt; 18 P x B, 18 B— B3, followed by Kt— K4.
5. 20.Rf3 An excellent move which initiates a beautifully-conceived attack.
6. 22…h6 Necessary; for if 22...P x B; 23 R x P ch., 23 K x R; 24 Q—R5 ch., 24 K—Kt sq.; 25 B x P ch., and mates in two moves.
7. 23…fxe5 Useless, of course. But Black could only escape immediate disaster at the cost of a piece, namely, by B—B sq., whereupon White would have withdrawn B — B4, winning also without much difficulty.
8. 24.Rxh6+ Mr. Blackburne now finishes off with his usual brilliancy and precision,
9. 26.f6 A beautiful stroke,
10. 27.Rh8+ For mate follows after 27...K—K2; 28 R—R7 ch. and Q—R6 mate.
