[C] As good a move, perhaps, as he had on the board. By playing K. R. to Q's sq., he would evidently have lost a Piece.
[D] Well conceived. Tempting Black to open the discovered check, which would cost him "the exchange."
[E] Interposing the Kt. and then pushing the K. B. P. on the Rook afterwards, would have been unwise, on account of B. to Q's 3d. (ch.), &c.
[F] Threatening, if White took the Q. P., to win a Piece.

[A] The proper move is B. to Q. Kt's 3d. Taking the Pawn gives an immediate advantage to White.
[B] If White play P. to K. B's 5th at this point, his opponent may move Kt. to K. Kt's 5th, threatening to play afterwards Q. to K. Kt's 8th (ch.), and then mate with his Kt. at B's 7th.
