- 8…g5 This violent treatment is premature, as long as White has not yet Castled K R. The threat Kt - Q 5 could have been easily met by 8) .... B - Q Kt 5. After 9) P - Q 4, B x B; 10) R P x B, P - K Kt 4; 11) P x P or B - Kt 3 or Kt x Kt P, Kt x K P Black has a good game. Other moves need certainly not be feared.
- 10.h4 This counter-stroke proves the weakness of the last move. Under no circumstances should the Knight's Pawn have been obstructed.
- 12.Nd5 Hitting again the weak spot. White thus prevents Black's Queen from taking part in the attack, as the Knight menaces the points Q B 2 and K B 3.
- 13…cxd5 13) .... B x Kt? 14) Kt - B 6 ch.
- 14.Rh4 After 14) R x P? R x R; 15) P x R, Q - B 3 the point K B 3 could no longer be defended.
- 17.f4 White having two more Rooks in play than his opponent, wants open files, and therefore tries to force the exchange of the centre Pawns.
- 22.Rf4 Now White threatens R x P ch, R - B 6 and Q x P ch at the same time.
