- 5.c3 Here immediate attack is advisable: B—K2; 7) Kt—KB3.
- 5…Be7 A gross blunder, as the sequel shows. KKt—B3 must be played first.
- 9…Nfd5 If 9) .... P×P; 10) B—Kt5, KKt—Q4; 11) Kt—B7.
- 12…d5 Thus he perishes without fight. It was better to make sure of one Pawn by P×P. After 13) P—KB4, B—B4ch; 14) K—Rsq, Q—Q6 he would still be able to develop his forces.
