Board 6 of the Birmingham blindfold display; a Bishop's Opening against Dr. Freeman that, from the eleventh move, abounds in interesting positions.

1. 11.Bxd5 From this point to the very end, the game abounds with interesting positions.
2. 14…Qd6 If Dr. Freeman had taken the Bishop with Queen, R. to K's 5th in reply would have proved a winning move; and if with the Pawn, the following variation would most likely have occurred:— 14. P. takes B.; 15. R. to K's 5th, P. to K. R's 3rd; 16. Q. to R's 5th, K. to R's 2nd; 17. Kt. to K. B's 5th, and wins. If Black on the 16th move play B. to Q's sq., White mates in three moves with R. to Kt's 5th (ch.), &c.
3. 17.Kh1 If White had captured the Bishop, Q. to K. B's 5th (ch.), &c., would have effectually relieved Black from his embarrassments.
4. 18.Rxe6 Ingenious, and considering the circumstances, wonderfully accurate.
5. 19.Bb2 Threatening mate by R. to Kt's 6th (ch.), &c.
6. 20…Nf6 If the Queen had been played to K. B's 7th, White would have won with ease, by checking with Q. at K. Kt's 4th.
7. 22.Bxd4 The whole combination is carried through and completed with mathematical precision; after the pieces are exchanged, White must remain with an advantage quite sufficient to ensure victory.
8. 37.Kf3 And Black resigned.
