1. 4…Bg7 The Muzio and Salvio variations that arise from 4...P—Kt 5 give the second player more advantage than this old defence which leads to a cramped game for Black.
2. 7…Qe7 We much prefer 7...QKt—B3, and if, as the authorities recommend, 8 Q—Kt 3, then 8...Q—Q2 (not 8...Q—K2, as given in the books ; threatening Kt—R4. Once White's KB can be got rid of there is little danger for Black's game, provided also that the King's file remain closed.
3. 9.b4 A novel and ingenious mode of attack.
4. 9…Nf6 This is an error of judgment of which White takes advantage with prompt vigor.
5. 11…dxe5 If 11...Kt—Kt 5; 12 PxP, 12 PxP; 13 R—K sq. , with an excellent attack.
6. 16…h5 A feeble move which causes the loss of the game. His best defence was 16...Kt—QKt 3; and if 17 P—Q5, 17 Kt—KB sq., etc.
7. 17…b6 This compromises his position beyond remedy. His only resource was 17...Kt—Kt3; 18 KtxKt, 18 BPx Kt; 19 Q—B4, 19 Q—Q sq., etc.
8. 19.Rce1 After this powerful stroke Black's game becomes completely disorganized.
9. 26.Rxf5 A merciless coup de grace, threatening QxR ch., followed by R—B7 mate.
