1.e4 {Notes by Blackburne.} e5 2.Bc4 Nc6 3.Nf3 Bc5 4.O-O Nf6
5.Nc3 d6 6.d3 {The position now is identical with the Four
Knight's or Giuco Pianissimo, as it has been called.} Bg4
7.Ne2 Qd7 8.Be3 Bb6 9.c3 Nh5 {It would have been better to
take the Knight with the Bishop before making this move.}
10.Ng5 O-O 11.Bxb6 axb6 12.f3 Be6 13.Qe1 {Threatening an
attack on the King, but Bxe6 was sounder.} Bxc4 14.dxc4 h6
15.Nh3 f5 16.exf5 Qxf5 17.g4 Qd7 18.Qh4 Nf6 19.g5 {Seemingly a
promising line of attack, but it wanted the preparotory Khi,
followed by Rg1.} hxg5 20.Nxg5 Ne7 21.Kh1 Ng6 22.Qg3 Nh5
23.Qf2 Nhf4 24.Rg1 Qf5 25.Nxf4 Nxf4 26.Qh4 {This attack was
useless. Rg3, preparing to double the Rooks, would have led to
a fairly even game.} Rf6 27.Ne4 Rg6 28.a3 Rf8 29.Rg5 Rxg5
30.Nxg5 Rf6 31.Ne4 Rg6 32.Rg1 Nh3 33.Rg3 Qxf3+ 0-1
