(b) It is questionable whether P-B 3, facilitating the development of the king's side, would not have been better, especially as it has, to be done in ; answer to White's next move. ■(c) Thi alternative would be 13 Q-K 5, end if 14 B-Kt 2, then 14 Bxß ch. . • (d) Out of the whole attack he only recovers the pawn sacrificed in the opening. (e) A complicated portion. :If 23 Ktxß, then probably 23 Kt-Kt 6; 24 K-B 3, B-Kt 5, etc. (f) 11-B 6 might be suggested. (g). If our score is correct, we l do not at© why Black should not have played B-Kt 5 ch, previous to the text move, • in order to free the QP from attack. (h) And here White could have played 33 P-B 3 ch. followed by KxP. (i) Mate cannot be saved. If R-K8 ch, then B-K 4.
