(b) 7 B-K 2 seems preferable. Black must eventually submit to an isolated Q P, which is masked by the B «it Q 3, when White attacks the QP with Q-Kt 3. (c) Black has now an undeveloped gan^e and a weak QP. (d) Somewhat better would have b mi lo R D 2, but even so White has th" better r,i it after B-B 1 and B-KKt 2 in ras- of nord. (E) Obviously he loses, the QKtP niter t!i" capture of the BP. Therefore- In P-Q ivi .J or Q R-Kt 1 phou'd \\A\-e hem played. i (f) Th.s is iti-.nitd.at^ly fata 1 -pioi... by an

(g) A pretty conclusion to a -well-played game on the part of Loman.
