Result
1/2-1/2
- 3.e4 Albin’s Counter Gambit for the first player.
- 3…dxe4 Better seems to be 3) .... Kt—QB3.
- 8.Bxd5 It would have been best to take with the Kt, for after 8) Kt×QP, Kt×Kt; 9) Q×Kt, Q×Q; 10) B×Q Black could not play P—B4 on account of P—KB3, after which Black’s King would be in a bad position; and after 10) .... B—K2, 11) B×P White’s Bishops would be in an excellent position.
