| 1. P. to K's 4th. | 1. P. to K's 4th. |
| 2. K. Kt. to B's 3d. | 2. Q. Kt. to B's 3d. |
| 3. K. B. to Q. B's 4th. | 3. K. B. to Q. B's 4th. |

| 13. Q. Kt. to Q's 2d. | 13. P. to Q. B's 3d. |
| 14. Q. R. to Q's sq. | |
| And the game appears to me in your favor. | |
Remember that at your move 14. you must not, instead of playing Q. R. to Q's sq., take the Kt. with your B., and afterwards play 15. Q. Kt. to K's 4th, because after taking your B. with K. R's P., he might move Q. B. to K. B's 4th, and thus prevent you moving your Kt. advantageously.
