[Footnote A:  A favorite move of Mr. Harrwitz, though decried by the chief authorities.]

[Footnote B:  Had he taken the Queen’s Pawn, White would have won at least the exchange by moving Kt. to Q’s 7th.]

[Footnote C:  Fearing to take the Bishop lest White should obtain an entrance with the Rook.]

[Footnote D:  All this is exceedingly well played by White.]

[Footnote E:  The coup juste.  From this point it would not be easy to improve on White’s moves.]

[Footnote F:  Better, perhaps, to have played the Rook to Q. R’s sq. at once.]
