3. K - B 2 P - Q Kt 4

With the object of playing K - Kt 3 and P - Q R 4, followed by P × P, and thus have an open file for his Rook and be able to make a counter-demonstration

on the Queen's side in order to stop White's advance on the right. White, however, also prevents this.

4. P - Q R 4 ! R - Q 5

Of course if P × P; Black will have all his Pawns on the Queen's side disrupted and isolated, and White can easily regain the lost Pawn by playing either Rook on the Q R file.

5. R - Q Kt 1 R - K 4

He still wants to play P - Q B 4, but as it is easy to foresee that White will again prevent it, the text move is really a serious loss of time. Black should bring his King over to the other side immediately.

6. K - K 3 R - Q 2
7. P - R 5

The first part of White's strategic plan is now accomplished. Black's Pawns on the Queen's side are fixed for all practical purposes.

7. ........ R - K 3
