- 4…c6 Here Black might very well play 4) .... P—Q4. The slower line of play, selected by Duras, is answered quite correctly on the part of Mieses by the isolation of the QP.
- 16.Rfe1 A regrettably gross blunder, which spoils the result of consistent and logical play. 16) Kt—K2 would have been very strong. He should change the Black KB, in order to secure the position of the Knight at Q4.
