ANALYSIS [x]
Notes by Frank MarshallHere or on the next move ...c5 would have been an excellent idea, as White would have been unable to push by with the d-pawn. But now this is distinctly inferior, because White’s reply gives him an enormous advantage in terrain.Black suffers from a serious lag in development which can never be made up.His difficulties are already serious enough without being enhanced by the broken-up king-side which results from this move, ...Nbd7 should have been played.{Forced, for if 18...Re7 or ...Kg7, 19 Bf5 wins.}19.Qxh6Black’s game is hopeless, not only has he lost a pawn, he is subjected to a formidable attack.If 24...Qd8 25 Qh6 maintains the attack.There is no defence against the coming inroad of the knight. If 25...Rxe4 26 Nf4 Rxe1 27 Rxe1 followed by Nh5 and wins.1-0
