The games published today are further examples of the skill of Stasch Mlotkowski in the Evans Gambit.

(a) My adversary invariably plays this move, which he considers much stronger than derailing the knight at QR4. (b) Much stronger than N-Q2, which can be answered by B-QB4. (c) Black cannot win the exchange safely by B-Q5, N-Q2, BxR, as then White gets an overwhelming attack by QxB, P-KB3; N-B3 N-K2; NxP PxN; QxP. (d) Waterman usually castles at this point, and the game continues N-B3 B-N5; P-KR3 BxN; QxB. (e) It would still be unsafe to take the exchange. (f) Black is badly tied up, but N-B3 would have been less disastrous.
