[G] He could not save all the Pawns attacked.

[H] Threatening to take the K. Kt. P. with his Rook, and then check with the Queen at her Bishop's 3d.

[I] K. to his 3d would have been better.

[J] This was ill-judged. He should have played R. to K. Kt's 2d, or Q. R's square.

And then Black mates in two moves.

[A] From this point we look upon the game as virtually lost for White.

[B] Probably his best move. Had he played P. to Q. Kt's 4th, Black might have taken it with his Kt., and upon the B. P. retaking, have moved K. B. to Q's 5th, winning the exchange.
