Position after Black's thirteenth move, B to K2 ! 

 Black,

14. KtxKt 14. PxKt 



15. B to Kt5 I 15. B to Qsq 

 IfQtoKtS, then after 16. B x B, K x B, 17. Q x P (ch), White 



ha.s a winninfT position. 



16. Q to B5 16. B to K-2 



17. Q to B4 



And the game terminated in White's favour as per above note. 



So far again all is book, but we do not at all like this variation, 

 especially if the Black QB has to pla}- to Kt2, which enables White 

 to proceed more freely against the King's side by Q to Kt4, as he is 

 not threatened with P to Q4. 



12. Q to Kt4 12. P to KB3 



This move at times turns out well for Black. There is, however, 

 always a certain amount of danger in it. In the present instance, 

 K to Rsq seems the safest move. 



13. Kt to B5 13. Kt to K3 

 Position after Black's thirteenth move, Kt to K3. 



Whttb. 



14. KtxP 



Very good move. White's attack against the King's side always 

 proceeds on similar lines in this opening, though the moves may 

 vary. A similar game was played by Locock against Gunsberg in 

 the recent Bradford Tournament, the former player very nearly 

 carrying the assault to a fatal termination for Black. For the sake 

 of comparison we give this game below. 



14. KtxKt 



15. B to R6 15. R to B2 



16. P to K6 16. P x P 



Black must give up his Qaeen, as otherwise he will be worse oil'. 



White's last move was a miscalculation. He imagined that, after 

 P X Q, he could' proceed with 20. Kt, discovers check K to Ktsq ; 

 21. KtxP mate, overlooking that Black could interpose his P on 

 B3. White had a very good continuation in Kt x P, as may be seen 

 on examination of the position given in the following diagram : — 



Position after Black's eighteenth move. 

 Black. 



If White plays 19. Kt x KtP, Black cannot retake with Kt on 

 account of 20. Q to R6. Also if 19. K x Kt Black would be maied 

 by 20. Q to Kt3 (ch), K to Rsq, 21. Q to R4. The only move for 

 Black to prevent Q to R6 seems to be 19. ... B x P (ch), 20. K x B, 

 Q to Kt3 ; 21. Q x Q, P x Q ; 22. Kt to B5, and White should win.
