NOTES BY DR STENHOUSE.
(a) This constitutes the Kieseritzky Gambit, and is as a rule livelier and more interesting than the Allgaier. As to which is the sounder, 'opinion is still divided, but rather inclines to favour the aider game. (6) Black uses sound discretion in adopting this defence which we consider by far the best, (rf) Castling is generally preferred, although the text move is good Chess.. (c) Bad. Q to X 3 would have been a forcible move, with the intention of next move-taking Xt's Pawn with Knight. (/) He could not have done bstter than exchange Queens. The loss of his Rook's Pawn is a serious one. (ff) The fatal move. He ought to have moved Rook from B 4 to B 2, and then he would have had a winning game.
