[F] The termination is very pretty—quite an elegant little problem.
[G] And Black has no possible means of escape; for, if he play Q. to K's sq., White simply captures the Queen for nothing; if B. to Q. B's 4th (ch.), then follows K. to B's sq., &c.

| And Black cannot possibly save the game. | |
[A] Very imprudent in such a position and against such an opponent. It must be admitted, however, that Black has no good move at this crisis.
[B] Perfectly sound, as the sequel shows.
[C] Taking the Pawn would have been injudicious; for example,
| 27. Q. takes Pawn. | |
| 28. K. R. takes K. R. P. (ch.) | 28. K. takes R. (best). |
| 29. Q. to K. R's 5th. (ch.) | 29. B. to K. R's 3d. |
