R's 2nd. * This Pawn ought to have been taken with Bishop. + With the hope of planting his Kt. at Q's 5th. Intending presently, if an opportunity occur, to play Q's Kt. to Q's 5th, and, after the exchanges, take Q. B's P. with his Q. § Had he played the Kt. over to Q's 5th, before protecting the B., he would have lost at least a Pawn. I! The exchange of Pawns, with the subsequent advance of this Pawn, appears, at first sight, a skilful conception, and one that must turn the scale in favour of the second player. Upon examination, however, it turns out to have been made without any consideration of the move White had in store, which renders the whole combination worse than nugatory. 21. Q. to K. B's 2nd.* 22. Q. B's P. takes Q's P. 23. P. to K's 5th. 24. P. to Q's 6th. 25. B. to Q. B's 6th. 26. Kt. to K's 4th. 27. Q. to K. R's 4th. 28. B. takes K's Kt. 29. Kt. to K. Kt.'s 5th. 30. Kt. takes R. 31. P. to K. B's 5th. 32. P. takes K's P. 33. P. to K's 7th. 21. Q's Kt. to Q. B's sq.t 22. B. takes Kt.'s P. 24. Q. to Kt.'s sq. 25. P. to K. Kt.'s 3rd. 26. R. to K's 3rd. 27. Q's Kt. to Q. R's 2nd. 29. R. takes B. 29. P. to K. R's 4th. 30. P. takes Kt. 31. P. to Q. R's 4th. And Black resigns. * This rejoinder was certainly not foreseen by Black when he played on the Q's Pawn. + He would have got an equally bad position by taking the K's P. with P. As the sacrifice of the Q's Kt. at this crisis had many advocates when the game was over, it may be well to examine briefly the consequences of that move. Suppose, then, instead of "P. to K. Kt.'s 3rd," that Black had played White then has several ways of playing. 25. Q's Kt. takes Q's P. 31. R. takes B., retaining a Piece more than Black. If he support the Q's R., White may at once take off the Kt. |
