1. 5…Bd6 This favorite defence of the late Hungarian master, Herr Szen, was latterly revived by some of the strongest players in Boston.
2. 6…Qf6 The Bostonians generally adopt here P—KR3, followed by KKt—B3.
3. 8.Be3 Much stronger is here QKt—R3, which Black cannot well exchange without subjecting himself to a strong attack, while otherwise White also obtains a very good game by manoeuvring that Knight via QB2—K3.
4. 15…dxc6 15...BxKt was the straight-forward and better course. If White then exchanged that Bishop, no harm was done to Black's position, and the latter's four Pawns against two on the Q side became, if anything, stronger. But it would anyhow prevent White's answer 16 Kt—B5, which gave that Knight a strong position, for in that case Black would answer 16...KtxP, and if then 17 K x Kt (or 17 Kt x B, 17 Kt x B, with two Pawns ahead), 17...Q x Kt, etc.
5. 17.f3 To prevent Ktx P, followed by Q x Kt.
6. 17…Rae8 Black blocks his pieces too much by this. The KR was of no use at KB sq. and might have been employed for the same purpose. But better still was, we believe, KR—Q sq.
7. 21…Rfe8 B—B3, in order to attempt a diversion on the Q side by P—QR3 and P—QKt 4, or else Kt—K2 with the object of exchanging the troublesome adverse Knight, were by far better.
8. 32.Qc3 Cleverly compelling Black first to weaken his Pawns on the K side before proceeding to recover the Pawn.
9. 33.Rxd6 We would have preferred 33 KtxP, 33 Q—B2; 34 B—Kt3 (it is noteworthy that the more tempting 34 Kt—Kt5 is not satisfactory on account of 34...RxR; 35 KtxQ, 35 RxR ch.; 36 B—Kt sq., 36 Kt—B5 [threatening RxB ch., followed by Kt—K7 ch.]; 37 Q—B2, 37 R—Q3; 38 Kt—Q5, 38 Kt—K3, and as the most important avenues to Black's game are closed to White's Queen, the two Rooks can make a very good fight for a draw at least), 34...Kt—K4; 35 BxKt, 35 RxB; 36 Kt—B5, with the superior game. It was anyhow not very good to exchange Black's Rook at K3 which was not well placed.
10. 37.h3 Of no use. His King could start at once toward the centre.
11. 44…Qa4 Black had played the greater part of this game remarkably well, and, we believe, he had a won game at this point but for the grave error which he now commits. 44...P—B4 was good enough, provided that if White answered 45 P—K6 ch., the only correct reply was 45...QxP (for if 45...BxP; 46 BxRP, etc.). Of course White would have then continued the attack with 46 B—K5, but then 46...P—KKt4; 47 B—Kt3, 47 Q—Kt3, etc., would make Black's game safe, and the Pawn ahead ought to tell in the end.
12. 48…Be6 If 48...B—K sq.; 49 Q—B7 ch., 49 K—K3 (or 49...K—Kt3; 50 QxP ch., 50 K—B4; 51 Q—Kt4 mate); 50 Px P, and wins.
13. 50.Bd6+ After 50...K—K sq., his only move. White forces a neat mate by 51 P—B7 ch., 51 B x P; 52 Q—B8 ch., 52 Kt—Q sq.; 53 Kt—B7 mate.
