- 7…O-O After 8 KKtxKt, 8 KtPxKt; 9 BxB, 9 PxB; 10 O—O, 10 P—Q3; 11 B—K3, we somewhat prefer White.
- 8…Bb6 Probably, in order to avoid the slight disadvantage of the last-mentioned variation.
- 10…a6 Weak on general principles, and it also drives the B to a more favorable post. Much better was 10....KtxKt; 11 PxKt, 11 P—Q4; 12 P—K5, 12 Q—Kt3.
- 12…f5 Owing to Black's weak advance of the QRP in the 10th move, this usually good developing resource is not available and costs a Pawn.
- 17…Qf7 Black gives up another P in order to lay a trap which, however, turns out unsound.
- 19…Qa7+ 20 R—B2 would not have been good, as Black might have replied P—KKt4, and if 21 PxP, 21 Kt—K2, and wins.
- 20…Ng3+ On this and the next move Black has evidently relied in forming his counter-attack, but as will be seen White has an ingenious reply in store.
- 22.Rf2 The only salvation, but also sufficient to insure victory.
- 26…Rf5 For after the exchange of Queens White can easily release himself by R (B2)—KB sq., making room for K—B2.
