Anderssen, Adolf VS Szen, Josef 1851.??.??

Annotations

The fifth game of the Second Series match between Anderssen and Szen, won by Anderssen with the White pieces. Staunton admired White's handling of the attack, remarking twice that "White plays with great judgment."

1. 18…Bh4 Q. R. to Q. B's sq., with the object of bringing the unfortunate Q. Kt. once more into play, appears to me a more important move. White's purpose in playing the Q. to her 3rd was to compel the Kt. to retreat presently to Q. Kt.'s 2nd, where it is evident he can be of little or no service for some moves.
2. 28.Bd4 Well played.
3. 29.Qe6 Here again White plays with great judgment.
4. 31…Nxg6 Had he taken the B. with his K. R. P., White could evidently have won a Piece.
