Game 27 in Chess Openings (1904): Marshall–Uedemann. Notes via New Orleans Times Democrat.
- 5…c6 5..., Castles, at once, as played by Anderssen against Steinitz, is better, as it yields speedy equality, the continuation being: 6 Kt—K B 3, P—Q Kt 3; 7 B—Q 3, B—Kt 2; 8 Castles, Q Kt—Q 2; 9 P×P, P×P; 10 R—B sq, P—B 4; 11 P×P, P×P; 12 Q—R 4, Kt—K 5, equal game.
- 10…Nxc3 10..., Kt—B 5, instead, would be disadvantageous, for, after 11 P—K Kt 3, if 11..., Kt—R 6, then 12 Q—Q 2, menacing 13 B—K B sq and forcing Black to lose a tempo by 13..., P—K R 3.
- 12…Rd8 Sound enough, but 12..., P—K 4, instead, was stronger, as opening or weakening the Queen's file for White and developing Black's Q B very shortly.
- 13.e5 In combination with his next move, really fine strategics. The text move blocks in Black's Q B and ties up his Queen's wing most unpleasantly.
- 13…Nf8 Valuable time lost; cf. his fifteenth move. 13..., P—K B 3 seems, by all means, in order just here.
- 16…g6 Disagreeable enough in view of White's Knight's inevitable advance, via K 4, to K B 6, but unavoidable as 17 P—K B 5 is threatened.
- 22.Qg5 Much better than 22 Q—R 4, as Mr. Marshall pointed out after the game, for then 22..., P—K R 3!
- 26…Kd8 Of course, not 26..., P×Kt, for then 27 Q×Q B P ch, followed by 28 Q×Q R, etc. The text move, however, costs his K R P off-hand and, practically, the game; nevertheless, he seems to have no good move. If, e.g., 26..., B×K B P; 27 Kt—Kt 7 ch, K—Q 2; 28 Kt×B, P×Kt; 29 K R×P, Q R—K B sq; 30 K R—B 6, threatening both 31 R×Q B P and Q R—K B sq, with, substantially a winning attack.
- 41.Rg7+ If 41..., K—K sq; 42 P—K 6 at least wins the Bishop; while if, to avoid that disaster, 41..., K—Q sq, Black actually drops into a mating net by 42 R—K B 8 ch, B—K sq; 43 Kt—K 6 ch, K—B sq; 44 R×R ch, K—Kt sq; 45 R×B, mate!
