- 6.Qd2 This move avoids any difficulty that might arise from the pinning of the QKt or from an attack on the Queen by B—KKt5, followed by R—Qsq, etc.; but, on the other hand, it is little more than simplifying.
- 6…Qc7 But Black need not have lost this move; QKt—Q2 was indicated.
- 16…e5 To weaken the centre, before having Castled and developed the Rooks, was certainly at least risky.
- 17…O-O 17) .... P—B3 was not feasible on account of 18) Q—Kt4; if 18) .... K—B2, then, of course, 19) P—KB4.
- 19.Nxd5 This exchange was not at all necessary; 19) Q—Q4 might well have been played. If 19) .... P—QB4, then he could play Kt×Kt.
- 20…Bc5 If 20) B×Kt, P×B; 21) Q×P; White could play 22) B—R5.
- 31.Rf1 If 31) R×R, then 31) .... Q—B8ch; and White would have to interpose the R at Ksq to avoid the draw.
