| | May-17-13 Burn vs Znosko-Borovsky, 1906
| |
|
estrick: There is an error in the score sheet.

| |
|
estrick: Black badly neglected development in this game. Six of his first 13 moves were by knights, five were pawn moves, and the other two were a bishop that he developed and soon traded off. White's development was more or less complete, which allowed him to start making mate threats on ...
