- 12…c5 R - B sq should have been played instead. 13) Q - Kt 3 would then be met simply by Kt x Kt ch.
- 13…bxc5 After 13) .... Kt (Q 2) x P, White continues 14) Kt x P, B x Kt; 15) B - Q B 4. In this variation Black must not be able to take the Bishop at Q 3 with a check, hence White's 12th move.
- 21.Qe4 White calculates every possibility with the utmost accuracy.
- 24.Rf4 If 24) .... R (Kt sq) x P, White wins by R - B 8 ch.
