Game 25 in Chess Openings (1904): Janowski–Marshall. Notes by F. J. Marshall. The archive score resolves two edition printing defects: 31...Bc4 (confirmed by the following diagram and 33...Bd3) and 46.Re4 (the printed Re5 leaves White in check and the rook already occupies e5).
- 12…Nxc4 Taking the first opportunity to remove a piece that might become dangerous in an attack. At this stage of the tournament it was my policy to play for a draw.
- 23…Qxa3 The Black Queen could likewise return to the defence of the King via Q 6 and K Kt 3, but in this way two passed Pawns are established, assuring a win in case of White's failure in the attack.
- 24…h6 Necessary to stop the advance of the R P.
- 25…Rc3 Preventing R—K 3.
- 33…Bd3 This Bishop is an important factor in the defence.
- 34.Bf6 He can delay no longer, otherwise the initiative escapes him.
- 34…gxf6 Not actually forced, for he also has the option of P—Kt 3.
- 36…Kh8 Important, as R—Kt 7 ch, followed by Q—B 4, was threatened.
- 42…Bxg4 The simplest process, though B—R 2 appears to win likewise.
- 51…Ra7 White threatens to draw by 52 R—R 7 ch, K—Kt sq; 53 R—Kt 7 ch, K—R sq; for if K—B sq, 54 K—R 7 would win.
- 57…Qxf6 Here Black can win outright and more prettily by 57..., R—R sq; 58 R×P (best), Q—Kt 8 ch; 59 R—Kt 7, Q×R ch; 60 K×Q (if P×Q, K—K 2 mate), R—R 2 ch; 61 K—Kt 3, R×P; 62 K×R, K—B 2, etc.
- 64…Qe6+ 64..., Q—R 6 ch; 65 Q×Q, R—R ch, followed by R×Q, was another simple way of finishing the game. The oversights are attributable to the tremendous mental strain both players were subjected to in this encounter.
