<<<BOARD No. 5.>NOTES.>
(a) 6.♕e2
This enables Black to recover the Pawn at once.
(b) 7...♕xd5
We should have preferred Kt takes P, but Mr. Heydon never objects to going in for an end game.
(c) 8.♕xd5
Of course he would have lost a piece if he had taken the Q B P.
(d) 11.d4
White's last two moves were very weak, and he has now either to lose a Pawn or to submit to a terribly cramped game.
(e) 15...♘b6
This savours too much of taking a back seat. He ought to have gone to K 2.
(f) 16.♖c1
Very unwisely played, as it leaves him almost helpless afterwards,
(g) 17...♗d3
This was not well played by Black, as it permits the enemy's Knight to get into the heart of his camp. He should have played P to K R 3.
(h) 20...♘xc4
This loses the exchange, but Black still preserves the advantage from the commanding situation of his Bishops.
(i) 24.a4
R to Q R 2 is decidedly preferable.
(j) 26.h4
Rash in the extreme.
(k) 27...♘e5
The termination is very happily conducted by Mr. Heydon.
(l) 31.♔h1
K to Kt 2 would have been better.
(m) 33...♗c3
He might have taken P with P - e.g. :- 33... P takes P ; 34. R takes B ; 34... R to R 4 ch ; 35. K to Kt 2 ; 35... Mate in 4 moves.
