Notes By Winner
(a) This move took forty minutes as a plan had to be formulated to meet Black's PB4, which would give him quite a good game, PK4, PKN4 PKR4 and PQN4 all came under consideration and were rejected as unsatisfactory. Finally PB4 was decided on and if PB4, PK4 immediately.
(b) PKB4 was best.
(c) Best, QxB4 apparently winning material, would result as follows: 22. PxQ; 23. NxPch, KB2; 24. NxQ RxR; 25. RxR RQ and the knight is trapped.
(d) He had counted on QK4, which is refuted by QN4. The end game resulting from 23. QK2 would have been in White's favor after 24. PKB5, etc.
