- 9.Qxf3 If 9 PxQP, 9 PxP threatening to capture the R with a ch. And if 9 PxKtP, the B retakes with a powerful attack.
- 10.Bd3 Threatening to win a piece by Q—K4, but not as good as B—K2.
- 11.b3 Much better was P—QB3, with the object of retreating B—B2, and then advancing P—Q4.
- 11…Qg5 Black threatened Q—K4, and the only other move was P—QB3, whereupon Black could force an attack by P—KB4.
- 13…Qa5 Driving the adverse Q somewhat out of play, for obviously Black dare not reply Q—B6 on account of the rejoinder BxP ch.
- 15…Rfe8 If 15....QxP; 16 B—Q2, threatening R—R sq., followed by B—QB3, winning the Q, with a strong attack.
- 16.Re3 Much better was now 16....QxP, with the probable continuation: 17 BxB, 17 PxB; 18 Q—K4, 18 P—KKt3; 19 Q—Q4, 19 Q—R6; 20 P—QKt4, 20 P—QB4+.
- 16…Bd5 This sacrifice is unsound, but Black had clearly the best of the game anyhow.
- 19…f6 White could recover the piece by BxB followed by P—QB4, but Black would afterward play Q—Q7 with great advantage.
- 21…Kf8 In the actual game a series of repetition moves were made on both sides.
- 23…Kf8 Unavailing; but 24 R—Kt3, 24 R—K2; 25 RxP, 25 RxR; 26 B—R6, 26 K—K2; leads to the same position as occurred.
- 24…Kf7 Best. If 24....PxB; 25 QxBP ch., 25 B—B2; 26 QxRP ch., 26 K—Kt sq.; 27 R—R3, 27 B—K4, (or 27....Q—K4; 28 R—Kt3 ch.), 28 Q—Kt5 ch., 28 K—B sq.; 29 R—R8 ch., winning the Q, and though Black has three pieces for it, the three passed Pawns and the exposed position of Black's King make White's game very strong.
- 26.Qh8+ If QxP ch., then, of course, Black replies B—B2, threatening R—KKt sq., etc.
- 32.Re3+ Black threatens PxP followed by R—R6, and all the Pawns on the Queen's side must fall.
