R × Kt would lose easily
| 37. R × B P | P - Q 6 ! |
Very fine. White cannot play R B 7 ch because of K - Q 1; R × B, R × Kt winning.
| 38. K - B 2 | B × Kt | |
| 39. P × B | R × P | |
| 40. R - Q 5 | R - K 6 |
The ending is very difficult to win. At this point White had to make the last move before the game was adjourned.
| 41. P - Q Kt 4 ! | R - K 5 | |
| 42. R × P | R × P | |
| 43. R - K R 3 | R × P | |
| 44. R × P ch | K - B 3 | |
| 45. R × P | K - B 4 | |
| 46. K - B 3 | R - Kt 7 | |
| 47. R - R 5 ch | K - B 3 | |
| 48. R - R 4 | K - Kt 4 | |
| 49. R × P | R × R P | |
| 50. P - R 4 ch | K - R 4 | |
| 51. R - B 5 ch | K - R 3 | |
| 52. P - Kt 4 | Resigns |
I have passed over the game lightly because of its difficult nature, and because we are at present concerned more with the opening and the middle-game than we are with the endings, which will be treated separately.
