(a) This converts the opening into a three knights' game. . (6) Condemed by Freeborough and Rankin. (c) 4 Xt x P, Xt x Xt ; 5 P-Q 4 seems to giva White the advantage, and if Black plays... B x P eh he is no better off. (d) Opinions are not in accord as to this move. Steinitz condemns it because it leaves Black with two bishops against White's bishop and knight. (c) V-Q 4 is certainly stronger. (/) B-K 3 is better. tff) White thinks he has plenty of time. (A) BK 3 should have been played. It now gets shut in, which amounts almost to giving Black the odds of a piece, B x Xt, although unsatisfactory. Would have left chances.
