e6 6.Bb2 Nc6 7.Nf3 Rc8 {The position is now identical with
that arousing out of the usual Queen's Gambit declined.} 8.Be2

Ne7 15.a4 b6 16.Nxe4 dxe4 17.Ne5 Rfd8 18.c6 Qh6 {White would
get the better of it if Black played Bxe5.} 19.f4 {Not a good
move. He ought to have played Qc1, keeping a good position for
the endgame.} exf3 20.Nxf3 Nd5 21.Bc1 Bf4 22.Bxf4 Nxf4 23.Ra2
Bg4 24.g3 Nxe2+ {This leads to a wholesale exchange of pieces
and a draw is the result. Nd5 would still keep up the
pressure.} 25.Rxe2 Qh5 26.Re3 Qd5 {Black gets nothing by e5.}
