Score
- 5.Bxc6+ Not commendable, as Black's two Bishops become effective in spite of White's attack.
- 8.e5 There is no gain in this operation; it only simplifies the game.
- 11.Nxe5 The natural move was B - B 4. Both 12) P - Q B 4, O - O and 12) P - Q B 3, B - K 2 would then have been of doubtful value.
- 24.Rxe2 Black has still the better position. He could continue 24) .... R - Q 8 ch; 25) K - B 2, B - Kt 3 and embarrass White's Queen's side Pawns.
