<<<Chess Column.>NOTES.>
(a) 11...d5
This gives White an opportunity to double Black's pawns badly on the Q B files; we should rather have captured the knight first.
(b) 14...♗e6
Black sacrifices a pawn here to obtain a more rapid development.
(c) 15...♗d5
Well played, obtaining a good position.
(d) 17...♗c6
Also well played.
(e) 19...♖e6
R to K 4 is better; White could not reply with B to Q 4 on account of the winning rejoinder R to K Kt 4.
(f) 20...♕g6
20,_ _ _ R to K 5 would be better play, then follows 21, Q to B 3, Q takes Q ; 22, P takes Q, R to K R 5, &c.
(g) 31...♖e6
This enables White to force the exchange of rooks ; he should have played 31,_ _ _ R to Q sq, retaining the open file.
(h) 32.f3
Neatly played, securing the exchange of rooks. It is evident that Black dare not capture the pawn.
(i) 37...h6
Moving the King is better; this pawn should have been kept back, so as to give him a move at a subsequent stage of the game.
(j) 38...♔e5
The position is now very interesting, and though we believe White can force the game, to do so requires nice play on account of the necessity to keep his K B P defended.
(k) 40...♗d5+
It looks here as if B taking P would draw the game, but the following analysis proves that this is a mistake; e.g., 40,_ _ _ B takes P ; 41, Kt takes B, K to K 5 ; 42, Kt to Kt sq, P to B 6 ; 43, Kt to R 3, K to K 6 ; 44, K to B 5, P to B 7 ; 45, Kt takes P, K takes Kt ; 46, K to B 6, K to B 6 ; 47, K takes P, K takes P ; 48, P to B 4, K to R 6 ; 49, P to Kt 5, P takes P ; 50, P takes P, K takes P ; 51, P to Kt 6 and wins

(l) 42.♘c4+
White loses time here; he should have at once played P to Kt 5.
(m) 57.♘c6
Neatly played, forcing the game ; he could, however, also have won by P to B 5 ; e.g., 57, P to B 5, B to Q 4 ; 58, P to R 3, B to Kt 6 ; 59, Kt to B 4 and wins
