PB3. (B.)
BxP ch! But the text move also loses a P, which Black has no
P-Kt4, etc., ought to have won the game for White eventually.
(j) In spite of his being a P up, White cannot try for more on
account of the passed P. The last few moves were: 32 Q-B5 ch,

(a) A welcome change to the usual Kt-K2. (Y. T.) And
P-KB4 and Q-B3, winning back the piece sacrificed and the better
game.
(c) With two B's v. two Kt's, greater freedom, and what attack
played, White gets no value for his B's. Black could not have
got his KR into play so easily and White's B might have been
but in the final position it is interesting to see how the K's are
kept at bay.

(d) 40... RxRP certainly seems better.
(e) The unfortunate QB has been the cause of all his trouble
and it now loses him the game. The ending is well played by
