Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-18-22  Autoreparaturwerkbau: Yes, it is 19 th century game, but there are surprisingly many errors for such a short game (15 moves).

1...e5?! Englund gambit - it is considered weak; Boris Avrukh writes that 1...e5 "seems to me the worst possible reply to White's first move". It is almost never seen in top-level play. But ok, it is 19th century.

6.♕d2? leaving back rank unguarded. Instead 6.e3 protects bishop, opens center and maintains back rank safe.

7...O-O-O? gains nothing. Instead 7...Qxb2 that invades white's unguarded back rank.

8.♕f4? allows black possibility to invade weak b2-square. 8.♘c3 instead prevents that possibility and develops weak queenside in the same time.

9...♔b8? allows white some chances via tempo moves with check 10.♗xc7+ ♔xc7 11.♕f4+. Instead 9...♖d7 shuts down any counterplay.

10.♗a3? fails to see mentioned counterplay 10.♗xc7+ and it all crumbles quickly from there on.
