29. P - B 4 B - B 1
30. Kt - B 3 B - B 4
31. R - Kt 2 R - K 5
32. K - Kt 2 Q - B 1
33. Kt - Kt 1 P - K Kt 4

(If now 34 B - B 3, P × P; 35 B × R, B × B ch, with a winning attack.)

34. P × P P × P
35. R - K B 1 P - Kt 5

R - R 3 was the alternative. White's only move would have been K - R 1. The position now is evidently won for Black, and it is only a question of finding the right course. The final attack is now carried on by Sir George Thomas in an irreproachable manner.

36. B - Q 3 R - K B 3
37. Kt - K 2 Q - B 1

(Again preventing B × R, by the masked attack on White's Rook. White therefore protects his Rook.) If Kt - B 4, P - K 7 !; 39 Kt × P, R × Kt ch; 40 R × R, B - K 5 ch !!; 41 B × B, best, R × R and White is lost. If, however, against 38 Kt - B 4, Black plays Q - R 3, and White 39 Q - B 2, I take pleasure

in offering the position to my readers as a most beautiful and extraordinary win for Black, beginning with 39...Q - R 6 ch !!! I leave the variations for the student to work out.

38. R (Kt 2) - Kt 1 Q - R 3
