[a] This was once a common defence to the Allgaier opening, but it seems to entail the loss of the gambit pawn. [b] B--R 3 would not have done, for White would then have exchanged queens, and played B--Q B 4, &c. [c] This move loses White a piece, but he obtains for it a full equivalent. [d] Black should have lost no time here in getting his pieces out; B--K 3, followed by K--Q 2 seems the best play. [e] Kt--Q R 4 would be, perhaps, better; but in any case he must have the worst of it.
