In another game between the same combatants, at the same odds, Black here played 11. P. to K. B's 3rd, which is a much better move than the one in the text.

12. Q. to Q. R's 4th.

13. Q. R. to Q's sq.

14. Q. R. takes K's B.

12.

Q. B. to Q's 2nd. 13. P. to K. B's 3rd.

A sound sacrifice, which leads to a very strong attack. From this point to the end the contest is animated and interesting.

If Black capture the Kt., White wins the Q. by 16. R. takes Kt's P., (dis. ch.)

16. Kt. takes Kt.

17. K's B. takes P.,

&c.

15. K. B. takes Q's Kt. (ch.) 16. R. to Q's sq. (ch.)

17. Q. takes B.

18. K. to K's sq.

No play could now save Black's game.

The position is peculiar; Black has two pieces more than his anta gonist, but White has a forced won game.

Black should have retaken Pawn with Kt.

20. P. takes P.

21. R. takes R. (ch.)

22. P. to K. B's 6th.

21. Q. takes R.

Black could not escape without some loss, but 22. B. to B's sq. would have been the correct play, as that would only have involved che sacrifice of the exchange.

Black resigned at this point, foreseeing that his adversary could compel the exchange of the two remaining pieces, and win by means of his extra Pawn.

Had Black captured the Q's P. with Kt., White would have obtained a strong attack by sacrificing his K's B.

Fearing 17. Q. to K. R's 5th, &c. This was, in fact, Black's only move. 16. Q. to Q's 5th would not have answered, as in that case White could move 17. Q. to K. R's 5th, leaving the Bishop en prise, and winning immediately.
