- 12…Qb8 Better 12) ..., P - Kt 3 at once.
- 18.Bxe5 As has happened several times before, White has got into difficulties through the manoeuvre Kt - K 2 - Kt 3. Black's Bishops now command the board.
- 34.Qe4 A wrong combination, but, in any case, Black had the superior position.
- 36.Qxf7+ If 36) Q x B Black wins, of course, by 36) ..., Q x P ch followed by P - K 7.
