Notes by H. N. Pillsbury.
- 13.Nd5 The exchange of so many Pieces, which Black is now enabled to effect, leaves him with the preferable ending position. Kt to Kt sq instead would have enabled White to continue the attack by P to K R 4 and R 5, and was far superior.
- 19.Be2 An error of judgment, which Black takes advantage of with masterly skill. B to K 4 was the only correct move, and the position then remained even.
- 21.Bxb5 It was fatal to open the adverse Rook's file. 21. R to K B 2, R to K 4; 22. P to Q B 4, P x P (en passant); 23. P x P, still gave fair prospects of a draw.
- 25…Ra4 This Rook enters powerfully, the White Pawns soon becoming indefensible. (See diagram.)
- 30…Rxc4 With the win of the Pawn and exchange of one Rook the position simplifies, Black being bound to win a second Pawn at least.
- 39…Rxh2 Of course, whenever the remaining Pawn becomes dangerous Black will simply take it off. The remainder of the game plays itself.
