  Pawn and Two: <White adopted the Ruy Lopez attack, and in an exchange of pieces between the fourteenth and eighteenth moves obtained the better position for the endgame. He soon obtained a commanding station for his rooks, one of which he posted in the seventh file. His thirtieth and thirty-first moves, however, enabled Black by a counter attack on the queen's wing to equalize matters. Black ventured too much with his king later on and played to win the adverse isolated queen's pawn. Black's king as a consequence of his rashness got in a peculiar mating net, and he was obliged to sacrifice his bishop at the forth-ninth move, and finally resigned on his seventieth move.>
