Result
0-1
- 3.Nf3 By a transposition of moves a Three Knights' game position is soon arrived at.
- 6…Nge7 In Col. 12 we give 18....KKt—B3; as Black's best move, but neither is satisfactory, and we think the King's fianchetto will have to be abandoned in the Three Knights' game.
- 7.Bc4 Anyhow wrong, for this B is better placed at K2 in this opening. But the strongest move at this juncture is, we believe, P—KR4.
- 10.Bd3 Much superior was, undoubtedly, Q—Q3.
- 14…Nc4 Of course if P—QB4, White would first attack the Q by B—K4.
- 23.f5 This advance is very weak and soon causes the loss of this P.
- 31.Bc1 Forced. If R—K sq., Black would still capture the B followed by Q—Kt8 ch.
- 32…Qc2 Threatening RxKt.
- 37.Nd3 Accelerating defeat, but his game was already untenable as he was two Pawns behind with by far the superior position.
