To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Q B 3. White's seventh move is no more satisfactory than P K 5, which fails : 7 P K 5, Q x P ; 8 P Q 3, B E 3 ; 9 B Q 2, Kt K 2; 10 Kt B 3, Q Kt B 3; 11 Q E K sq, Q K B 4 !, and the attack will not compensate for the missing Knight. For a long time Black's best move here was thought to be 11 .... Q B 4-f- ; but the late Louis Paulsen, in the course of his investigations of this among other openings, has shown 11 .... Q K B 4, reserving the check, to be the coup juste. Throughout the endless com...- plications resulting from the nature of the position, Black's policy should be one of caution and exchange. The attack, under this treatment, will exhaust itself soon, if not main- tained by further sacrifice ; and in the end, and in every case, the superior force miist take the lead. Two probable continuations may here be given : 1 2 E K 4. Castles; 13 BxP, B Kt 2 [this piece is wanted for defence of the King] ; 14 Q K 2, P Q 4 ; 15 BxB P, Q Kt 4 ; 16 P K E 4, Q Kt3; 17 KtxP, KtxKt; 18 BxKt. B B4; 19 Q E K B 4, B K 3; 20 BxB, PxB; 21 E K 4, ExB+; 22 KxE, E B sq+; 23 K Kt sq.
