Notes by Dr. Tarrasch.

1. 3…Bc5 It is noteworthy that Lasker usually declines the Evans' Gambit, although he has declared that he knows a winning defence.
2. 9…Nf6 Kt to K 2 seems preferable.
3. 10.a6 Instead of developing, White makes premature attempts at attack, which finally only facilitate and hasten the development of his opponent.
4. 10…O-O Kt X P would be bad, on account of 11. Q to R 4, Kt to B 4; 12. PxP.
5. 13.Na3 B X P, ch, was threatened.
6. 13…d5 Black is so far advanced in development that he can at once begin the attack.
7. 16.Qe1 All of White's Pieces are in bad positions, with the exception of the King's Knight at B 3. White's game is thus no longer capable even of defence.
8. 17.Bg5 With this and the mistake immediately following the Bishop gets also exposed. It would have been better to interrupt the file of the adverse Queen's Bishop with Kt to Kt 5 and K 4.
9. 19.Rxa7 He may well despair.
10. 20.Ne3 After B to K 3, Q to Kt 5 wins.
