Notes by E. SCHIFFERS.
- 4…Bd6 Stronger would have been B to Q Kt 5, and if 5. Q to Kt 3, then Kt to B 3, threatening Kt x P (Q x B, Kt to B 7, ch). Black, after 4.... B to Q Kt 5, threatens Kt to K 5, when an opportunity presents itself.
- 8…Nxc3 And now B to Q Kt 5 might have been played.
- 13…Qe8 A premature exchange; Black only unites White's Pawns in the centre.
- 20…Qxe7 It is evident that P to Kt 4 would only disturb Black's Castling position, and further White's purpose. If 13.... Kt to B 3; then 14. Q to Q 3, &c.
- 26…Qd6 Black, apparently, endeavours all along to simplify the play; the game is perfectly even at present.
- 31…Qg3 Instead of this move, Black might have attempted to get up an attack by means of P to Kt 4, and R to Kt 2 or R 2.
- 34…Nf6 And now P to Kt 4 might have been played.
- 38…bxc4 Black gratuitously assists White in obtaining a passed Pawn.
- 47.c6 The passed Pawn is now so strong that Black will hardly be able to draw.
- 65.Re4+ After 65. K to Q sq, would follow 66. K to Q 6, and White wins easily.
