23…Rd8Played, probably, with the view of preventing the advance of either the Q's P. or the Q. B's P.
24…Ne7This was a judicious move, as it checked the progress of the Q. B's P., which would have given White an irresistible attack.
26.Rab1Well played, ensuring the effective advance of the Bishop's Pawn.
29.Nb5Gaining the exchange.
29…Rc6By playing B. to K's 3rd, Black would have escaped with the loss of the exchange, for on White playing Kt. to B's 7th, Black replies with Kt. takes Kt., &c.
32.Ba2And Lord Arthur's proposal to draw was accepted, the diagram below showing the closing position.
