Given up as drawn. NOTES. (?i) A good and sound variety of opening. Careful play is required, however, on both sides. (b) Here white opens up his centre — the move, however, is perfectly sound. (c) An equally good move at this point would be 29 to 25. (d) His very best move. (c) His only safe move. (f) The best move at his command. (t>) This is throughout a very carefully conducted game on both sides.
