  NewspaperChessArchiv: This game submission comes from The Philadelphia Inquirer, Chess, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Sunday, June 16, 1918 with the following analysis:

4. … Bxb4 (a) It is always a pleasure to see the Gambit accepted. For the past twenty years, however, the chess masters in important games have almost invariably declined the Gambit, the usual method being 4. B-N3. This move yields Black a thoroughly safe and satisfactory game.

6. … exd4 (b) Even now after the Gambit has been accepted Black can obtain a good game by playing P-Q3, giving up the Gambit Pawn. This line of play was first brought into prominence by Dr. Lasker.

24. gxf5 … (c) White played this move with the object of getting his B-R3 and then to K6 closing the file.

24. … Nxe4 (d) An interesting sacrifice, Black obtains three Pawns for the piece sacrificed. Mlotkowski states in his comments to us on the game that the sacrifice is unsound, but not plainly so, as Black came within an ace of winning.

39. Qe5 … (e) This move Mlotkowski considers the winning combination. He returns the Queen for the Rook and Bishop, winning on the end game.
