1. d4 {Notes by R. Teichmann} d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5
Be7 5. Nf3 b6 6. e3 Bb7 7. Rc1 dxc4 {If he intended to take
this Pawn he might have waited till White had developed his
Bishop to d3, then gaining a move; though White would most
likely have exchanged himself next move.} 8. Bxc4 Nbd7 9. O-O
O-O 10. Qe2 Nd5 11. Bxe7 Qxe7 12. Nxd5 exd5 13. Bb5 Qd6 {He
cannot push the pawn to c5 on account of Bxd7, winning a
Pawn.} 14. Rc2 c6 15. Bd3 Nf6 {But I do not understand why he
did not now play c5, which seems to give him at least an even
game. After the text move the Pawn is fixed and irretrievably
weak.} 16. Rfc1 Rac8 17. Ba6 {Taking immediate advantage of
the omission, the Black c-Pawn is doomed now.} Bxa6 18. Qxa6
Rc7 19. Ne5 c5 {Seeing now that he cannot play Rfc8 on account
of i7 Nxc6 Rxc6 18 Qxc8+(!), he prefers to lose the Pawn
another way.} 20. Rxc5 Rxc5 21. Rxc5 Nd7 22. Rc6 Nb8 {There is
no more to be said about the remainder of the game; he has to
submit to the loss of several more Pawns, and might as well
have resigned at once.} 23. Rxd6 Nxa6 24. Nc6 g6 25. Nxa7 Ra8
26. Nc6 Kg7 {A little trap if 27 Rxd5 Rc8 28 Rd6 Nb4 , winning
a Piece, but White is not in a hurry.} 27. a3 Rc8 28. g4 Nc7
29. Ne7 Rb8 30. Rd7 Ne6 31. Nxd5 Rc8 32. Nxb6 Rc2 33. b4 Ng5
34. a4 Ne4 35. a5 Nxf2 36. a6 {It is evident that White
Queen's Rook's Pawn will cost a Piece, and nothing in the way
of disaster can happen to White’s King except by the greatest
kindness on White's part, such as 36...Nh3+ 37 Kh1 Ng5 38 a7
