Result
1-0
- 6.Na4 It is a far spread, but probably wrong belief that Black ought to preserve his K B, by losing the move P - Q R 3, hence this manoeuvre.
- 15.O-O-O Feeble. As White has to Castle Q R, P - B 5 was obvious. If 15) .... P x P, Q - Kt 7 would recover the Pawn at once; but if 15) O - O - O, P x P; 16) P x P [16) R x P?, R x R followed by Q - Kt 7], Kt - Q 5 with a pressure on White's position.
- 38…Kc5 Here 38) .... P - R 3 was indicated. If 39) P x P, R - Kt 6 ch; 40) K - B sq, R - R 7, drawing at least.
- 42…Rd6 42) .... P - R 3 is no longer of any use, because of the reply 43) R - B 6.
