Notes by R. Teichmann.

1. 4…Ne4 Premature; this move is only good when the Knight can be sufficiently supported on this square. To move a developed Piece twice is, besides, entirely against the minor principles.
2. 5…Nd7 But now P to K B 4 would have been more consistent.
3. 8.f3 Taking immediate advantage of Black's weak play.
4. 8…g5 An extraordinary conception involving the sacrifice of a Pawn for the sake of a premature and compromising attacking manoeuvre.
5. 13.O-O Now White has a clear Pawn ahead with a splendid development.
6. 22.Qa3 Making the most of his strong position and finishing the game in vigorous style.
7. 27.c5 Against this there is nothing to be done, the loss of the Queen and at least one Piece being threatened at the same time.
8. 28.Nd6+ Herr Mieses played this and several other games in the Tournament certainly much below his usual strength, which he has shown elsewhere, and in his games with, most of the other prize winners.
