1. 16.Rdf1 He ought to have gone on systematically with the advance of his Pawns on the K side, commencing with P—KR4 at once.
2. 20…g5 20...KKtP x P, followed by P—B3, made his position safe, with a Pawn ahead.
3. 21…f6 Best, if 21...B x Kt; 22 P x B, 22 P x P; 23 P—R6, would have opened a powerful attack.
4. 22…Rf7 A false alarm induces him to alter the winning course. 22...P x B; 23 Q—R5, 23 Q—B2; 24 Q—Kt6, 24 Q—K2, was enough to repel the adverse attack, and he remained with a piece plus.
5. 31…Rg7 He can no more resist the adverse attack which has been formed with power and ingenuity. If 31...K—B sq.; 32 Q x P ch., followed by R—R8 ch., wins in a few moves.
