Score
- 6.d4 Here Black can play very well 6) .... P - Q Kt 4; 7) P x P, P x P; 8) Q x Q ch, Kt x Q; 9) B - Kt 3, B - Q 3.
- 13…Qc8 The natural move is B - K B sq, in order to give free play to the Rook.
- 18…Be5 And here 18) P - B 4 might have been played, threatening the sacrifice of the Pawn by P - B 5. 19) P - Q B 4 would then be answered by Kt - K 4 - B 3 - Q 5.
- 20.Qg3 P - Q B 4 was still indicated. After Black has missed this opportunity, all the life is taken out of the game.
