COMMENTS ON THE GAME.
fa) The capture OF this pawn instead OF develop
ing his game seems dangerous and is usually
avoided, but the admirable defence Of Herr Neumann
IL q Justification for the move made.
(6 Herr Neumann thinks that to Kt would
have been stronger
c) Had he not made this move he would an.
parently have been minus her Majesty in very short
time.
(d) to K seems stronger move than 1t would
have turned out to be.
(e) 1t is evident that had black captured bishop
white would have regained the piece and won
pawn, and perhaps more.
IN The best move.
IN Mere desperation, for the game was lost, what
ever he played.

the unfortunate little sufferer was found sitting on
the doorstep, perfectly naked. The clothes having
