Result
1/2-1/2
- 3.Bf4 By this White achieves little, as the Bishop attacks nothing here. Mere impediments of movement do not embarrass the opponent enough during the opening stage, therefore such a move should not be lost.
- 6…Nh5 It is sound play to get rid of his Bishop forthwith.
- 7.Bg5 White should rather leave Black two Bishops by letting him exchange the Bishops at K Kt 3, thus getting an open Rook's file as compensation. After the text move White has no possibilities of attack.
- 20…Qxd8 It is a pity that the game was not continued. White might have tried to make his Pawns on the Queen's side tell, while Black might have advanced on the King's side.
