- 13.Ne3 Intending to operate in the centre. Kt - Q 5 threatens to embarrass Black, as the Knight cannot be taken because of the loss of the K P, and on the other hand, the Knight would exert great pressure on the Black position.
- 13…Bg4 Parrying the threat indirectly. But the move allows two Bishops, which command the whole board.
- 22.d5 Bowing to necessity; as Black was preparing P - Q 4. But the blocking of the Pawns is unfavorable for the Bishops.
- 30.Ne1 Kt - R 4 looks better than it is. Black takes, and White has afterwards no sufficient material to compel the exchange of Pawns.
- 34.Rf2 Intending to play eventually Kt - K 3, but be ready with P - K B 4 against B - Kt 4.
- 34…Nc8 To prevent the White Knight from taking possession of K B 5 (Kt - K 3, Kt - K 2).
- 45…f6 Black can no longer get rid of White's Knight by Kt - K 2, which he seems to have overlooked when playing his 43rd move.
- 52.Bc6 Threatening now P - Q Kt 4.
- 57…Ng4 If 57) .... Kt x R P, White plays K - R 2 and the Knight is in a very bad position.
