1.e4 {Notes from Maryland Chess Review 1875, pp. 215-216} e5
2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Ba5 6.O-O {6.d4 and 7.O-O
is generally played. The course adopted is Mason's attack.}
Nf6 {The proper defense.} 7.d4 O-O 8.Nxe5 Nxe4 {Black might
also play 8...Nxe5 9.dxe5 Nxe4 10.Qd5 Bxc3 11.Nxc3 Nxc3 12.Qf3
d5 etc.} 9.Nxf7 {Mason continued the attack by 9.Ba3} Rxf7
10.Bxf7+ Kxf7 11.d5 Ne5 {Black would have fared badly by
11...Nxc3 , as the following will show: 12.Qh5+ Kg8 (If
12...g6 13.Qxh7+ etc.) 13.dxc6 etc.} 12.Qd4 Bxc3 13.Nxc3 Nxc3
14.Qxc3 {This seems the best Knight to take.} d6 15.Bb2 g5
{Evidently played to prevent the advance of the f pawn; it
fails, however, to answer the purpose.} 16.f4 gxf4 17.Rxf4+
Kg8 18.Qg3+ Ng6 19.Rf6 Bf5 {Why not resign before sacrificing
this Bishop?} 20.Rxf5 1-0
