Notes by Dr. Tarrasch.

1. 11…Nge7 This position has often occurred before, and I am of opinion that White has a far superior game—complete freedom, and opportunity for attack on all sides. It is difficult for Black to develop or even to find a counter-attack; true, Black has one Pawn more, but it is of very little use or importance; with equal players six times out of ten White would win.
2. 12…a5 One might suggest here or there some defensive move, but what is the good if one cannot recommend a complete plan of defence with any prospect of success?
3. 13.Bc4 Threatens B x P, ch, followed by Kt to Kt 5, ch.
4. 14.Kh1 With the intention of removing the Queen, and after B x Kt, P x B, to occupy the open Knight's file with the Rook. White can allow himself such preparations, for his attack at present is not strong, but extraordinarily persisting.
5. 14…Nb4 This is what I call a defensive plan. Black wishes to break up the centre with P to Q 4, and to get the Knight there, using it as a basis for his operations. But what is the use of this pretty idea if it can be frustrated at once by the opponent?
6. 15…Bxe3 The best chance for Black, though the Bishop's file is opened. If Black permits B x B, doubling the Pawns, it would only produce a fresh weakness, and the Steinitzian move of Kt to B sq would not assist.
7. 17…Ng6 Contemplating the exchange of Bishops, but the Pawns, the strong centre and the open file, are ready to keep up the attack. [White was threatening Kt to Q 4 and K 6.—Ed.]
8. 18…h6 In order to play K to R 2 and free the Rook.
9. 20…Na6 With Kt to K 4, which was better, Black could prevent the development of the coming attack; but White could attack the Knight at any time with Kt to K B 3, and eventually remove it.
10. 22.Rg3 White does not mind shutting in his Rook for a short time.
11. 24.Qh5 This threatens R x B P, and Q to Kt 6, ch.
12. 24…Rg8 This Rook plays a wretched part throughout the game.
13. 25.Nf5 Threatening R x Kt P, ch, and Q x R P.
14. 26.Rh3 To prevent P to K Kt 3.
15. 27…Rh8 He was threatened with R to B 4, R to R 4, and Q x R P (!).
16. 28.Nb5 To reply to Kt to K B 3 with Kt x R P and R x Kt.
17. 29…c5 Black does not know what to move, and I, in his place, would not know either. He makes another mistake—a psychological necessity in sad positions.
18. 33.Rh4 White brings back the Rook at the right moment, and at the same time keeps the Black Rook from Kt 5.
19. 36.Qh5 Threatening R x R, and if Kt x R, then Q x Kt.
20. 37.Nxf7 The end. Gunsberg, it is true, has played this game like a player of the second rank; but this shall be no blame to him, for after the first dozen moves there were no moves of the first rank left to be played. [We have always defended this branch of the Evans' with 10. P to Q R 3, and if 11. B to R 4, then K to B sq, and we believe invariably won with Black. The driving back of the Bishop prevents it coming to the help of the King's side at K 2, and also stops P to Q R 4, which is an awkward move to parry. Black can usually institute a strong counter-attack against the King after Kt to Kt 3, and perhaps P to K R 4.—Ed.]
