White resigns.

| (a) This move. although not unsound is seldom
| made at this time. B-Q B being preferred as
more attacking one.
b) Black is compelled to take this knight with Kits
pawn, or else White would have taken with at the
next move, and thus prevented Black from casting.
(c) Having lost it's usefulness at KIT A. he with
draws it to attacking position, threatening
| attack.
ld) Counting the Black Bishop to take it. when
White would reply B, and thus open the BIS file.
te) Placing B in a very advantageous position,
sweeping both sides. of the board
~ This move is the beginning of series of fine
playing on the part of Black.
(gl Determined not to allow any fooshness attacks
Oh. Threatening mate and at the same time guard
-O fine move. attacking R, cannot be taken by
Ke as Black would answer Q < R and mates. This
move is the beginning of very dexterous spar

H) Being compelled to retire, he HES himself to

ID Avery fine and safe move White dare not take
with @ as Black would answer KIT, putting White
Q in jeopardy and threatening mate with @ at
tme neither dare he take it with Bishop, as Black
would answer = 4, and thus win Whites Bishop,
having three pieces to bear it, whereas White has
only the to protect it, neither could White in that
case retake with B, as White would reply Q x O.
| ,fm) Eager to exchange Bishop for Rock, but,
| alas! it proiteth him little.
| tn) The Bishop being gone 9 at R has lost its
usefulness hence is deployed for the center attack
soon to follow.
Toy The Black at Q 5 must be captured if posi-

I'D Abandoning the p, which White dare not take
without suffering checkmate in two moves and begin

r) Black sees the danger and opens up an avenue

| Is, Should White attack R with P, R will capture

IT, The value of these knight moves is not appar-
emit to poor amateur.
| tu) A mastery move, for White cannot take P
with Kt without suffering loss White would reply
P-B 5, attacking Kt. and the moves would likely be:
BLACK. Ktakt 4; White. OK 9: Rx Q;R-K ex; K-R
and White has gained piece; if in place of Black
moving Kt-Q s. he moves P-B 3, then B P; R

lx) White smells mouse and prevents immediate
defeat.
W Bl4ck now clearly foresees the next six moves
and makes every tell. compelling White to re.

(z) fine move, as r cannot take without al

(aa) Another fine move, White cannot capture
without allowing Black to Queen the pawn.

(cc If in place of this he had moved p to @ g. he
could have gotten Knight for pawn.
I'd dl Well played; White dare not capture
With Kt as Black would Queen pawn once neither
dare P, as Black would reply KIT
| Probably there never was game played in
which Rock and Bishop did such fine work as
