3.e5This is a weak move on principle, since it gives away all the advantage of the first move, which of course it ought to be every player's object to maintain as long as possible.
4.c3Kt. to K. B's 3rd is generally played at this point.
11…Bxb4+Cleverly played.
12.axb4Q. Kt. to Q's 2nd would have been better play.
13.Qd2If 13. Q. to Q's sq., Black replies with K. Kt. to K's 6th, and pursues that move with Q. Kt. to B's 7th (ch.), &c.
