Notes. 



((/) The best move, as more than once pointed out in 

 this column. Black reserves the option of capturing the 

 Pawn with either Bishop or Knight, according to cir- 

 cumstances. 



(/') Some players prefer 7. Kt to B3, or 7. B to K3. 

 The move made compels the capture, and prepares for 

 B to Q8 by preventing Kt to Kt5. 



(f) Black's play up to the thirteenth move is very weak. 

 He should castle at once, and follow it by the advance of 

 the KBP. 



((/) Having made his last move he should continue with 

 10. ... P to QKt4, with a \-iew to P to Kto or Q to Kt3. 



(c) 10. . . . Kt to Bsq should be better than this. 



(/■) Almost anything would be better, ..//., 12. ... P 

 to QKt4, or 12. . . . Kt to K2, or 12. . .' . B to R2 or 

 K2 with a view to Kt to QB4. 



(f/) And now 13. . . . B to Q2 should have been played. 



(h) He might have played his next move now, and 

 possibly castled on the other side. 



(/) Marching straight into the lion's mouth. 17. . . . 

 B to Q2 would enable him to castle on the Queen's side if 

 he castles at all. Probably he feared Kt to QGch. 



(j) There is no time for this. Perhaps his best chance 

 lay in 19. ... R to Qsq, trying afterwards to bring his 

 Q to KBsq if possible. 



(A) A pretty finishing touch. White threatens B to Q2. 



(I) Whether he move the King or not the reply 24. Kt 

 to Kt5 is fatal. Mr. Kaizer played the whole game in 

 good style.
