| WHITE. | BLACK. | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | P. to K’s 4th. | 1. | P. to K’s 4th. |
| 2. | K’s Kt. to B’s 3d. | 2. | Q’s Kt. to B’s 3d. |
| 3. | P. to Q’s 4th. | 3. | P. takes P. |
| 4. | B. to Q. B’s 4th. | 4. | B. to Q. Kt.’s 5th. (ch.) |
| 5. | P. to Q. B’s 3d. | 5. | P. takes P. |
| 6. | Castles. | 6. | P. to Q. B’s 7th. |
Instead of 6. Castles, you might adopt Mr. Cochrane’s method of continuing the attack, by 6. P. takes P.
N.B.—It would be very bad play of Black to take the Q. Kt.’s P., instead of the move in the text.
| 7. | Q. takes P. | 7. | P. to Q’s 3d. |
| 8. | P. to Q. R’s 4th. | 8. | B. to Q. R’s 4th. |
| 9. | P. to Q. Kt.’s 4th. | 9. | B. to Kt.’s 3d. |
| 10. | Q. to Q. Kt.’s 3d, with a fine game. | ||
There is another not uninteresting method of attack, which White might adopt at his fifth move, instead of 5. P. to Q. B’s 3d; viz., K’s Kt. to his 5th.
| 5. | K’s Kt. to his 5th. | 5. | K’s Kt. to R’s 3d. (best.) |
| 6. | Kt. takes K. B’s P. | 6. | Kt. takes Kt. |
| 7. | B. takes Kt. (ch.) | 7. | K. takes B. |
| 8. | Q. to R’s 5th. | 8. | P. to K. Kt.’s 3d. |
| 9. | Q. takes B. | 9. | P. to Q’s 4th. |
Black’s 9th move was first suggested in an able analysis on this variation by Messrs. Jaenisch and Schummoff, in the “Chess Player’s Chronicle” for July, 1850. It is far superior to the old move of P. to Q’s 3d, and without great care on your part will give him an irresistible attack.
| 10. | Castles. | 10. | P. takes P. |
This is your strongest move, and appears to have been overlooked by the talented authors of the article in question:—
