| 23. Q. to K. Kt's 6th. (ch.) | 23. K. to Q's sq. |
| 24. Kt. takes B. (ch.) | |
| And wins. |
[A] The following moves will show the probable result of taking the P. with Kt.:—
| |
| 11. Kt. takes Q. B. P. | 11. Q. to her 2d. |
| 12. P. to Q. Kt's 5th. | 12. R. to Q. R's sq. |
| (His best move; if P. takes P., then White plays Q. to her R's 7th.) |
| 13. Q. to her sq. | 13. P. takes P., or B. takes Kt. |
| And White has little if any advantage. |
