Notes by Dr. Tarrasch.
- 6…g6 Carelessly played. The Bishop does not get to Kt 2. B to Q 2 or B to K 2 was better.
- 10.Bb3 Now not only is P to K Kt 3 rendered useless, and therefore loss of time, but the King's side is disarranged also.
- 11.Bh6 B to Kt 5 was better and would have won a Pawn at once, for if Black defended the Knight with B to K 2, then he lost the King's Pawn, and if he moved the Knight away, then he lost the King's Bishop's Pawn with B x Kt and B x K B P.
- 12.Bd2 Here also B to Kt 5 was stronger in order to threaten B x Kt and B x B P, as well as P to K R 3. After 12.... P to K B 3; 13. B to Q 2, Black was in a worse position than he is after the text moves, which allow the retreat of the Knight to K B 3.
- 15…Ne6 The decisive mistake; with B to K 3 he might have averted any direct disadvantage, even if White should have the better game.
- 20…fxe6 Black has his Pawns in such a bad position that his game must collapse (see diagram).
- 21…h6 Black should not permit White the possession of the Queen's Rook's file, but play either R to Q R sq or P to Kt 5.
- 23…Kf6 Here also R to Q R sq was preferable.
- 27…h5 Black stands so badly that he can undertake nothing, but nevertheless he offers his opponent as many difficulties as he can.
- 30…Rf8 Threatening R to B 5.
- 33…c5 Black ought under no circumstances to make this move, which deprives the Bishop of its support.
- 35…Kf6 After P to B 5 follows 36. P x P, P x P; 37. Kt to Kt 2, P to R 6; 38. Kt to B 4, with win of a Pawn.
- 38.Rc7 Of course not R x P, on account of R x Kt.
- 42…Rc2+ The two passed Pawns make a certain win for White.
