1.e4 {Annotations by Magnus Smith from "Checkmate", March
1904} e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 f5 {How many of us do not cast a
kindly eye upon this move as a possible relief from the
difficult defence to the Ruy Lopez.} 4.d3 {I believe this to
be the best move; it is endorsed by the "Handbuch".} Bc5 5.O-O
d6 6.Nc3 f4 {This is premature, Nf6 is the usual move.} 7.d4
exd4 8.Nxd4 Bd7 9.Bxc6 bxc6 10.Bxf4 Qf6 11.Be3 Ne7 12.Nce2 O-O
13.c3 Rab8 14.Qd2 Ng6 15.f4 Rbe8 16.Ng3 Rf7 17.Rf2 h6 18.Raf1
Rfe7 19.Qd3 Nh4 20.a4 {Bad, yet it is interesting to note the
trouble that this wasted move gave White.} Bb6 21.Nf3 Nxf3+
22.Rxf3 Bg4 23.R3f2 h5 24.Bxb6 axb6 25.h3 {The only way to
save the center pawn.} h4 26.Nh1 Bd7 27.Re1 Bf5 28.Rfe2 Bd7
29.Qf3 {All this manoevring on White's part is necessary to
hold the position.} c5 30.b3 Bc6 31.c4 Qd4+ 32.Nf2 Rf8 33.f5
Rfe8 34.Qg4 Qf6 35.Qf4 g6 {Black's case was getting more
desperate with every move, but this did not improve
matters. Evidently he overlooked that he could not win the KP
by Qd4+ after White's Ng4 on account of Nf6+ winning a piece.}
36.Ng4 Qd4+ 37.Kh1 Rf8 {The best move.} 38.Qg5 Rh7 {Not good,
but with the best continuation White would win easily.}
