changing the adverse Bishop and not allowing 1t to
retreat for his own O Kt could not long remain at
his present post and then this Bishop would again
obtain a commanding position. The doubled Pawn
which he would have formed also worth consider

more relieve himself by the check with the Knight
than in reply TO the text move, which makes good
room for the King.
