  Game 6 - DUNDEE

Annotated by Mr. Alex Battersby, Glasgow.

[Event ""] Eleventh English Tournament Games - Game 6

[Date ""] April 1909

[Black ""] Smith

[White ""] Fellows

A deeper look at at note F. comments - Refer to diagrammed position at Note F, left column below. Normally, White would not even consider sacrificing his only King on square 11, but a quick gander at doing so would remove the red piece on square 2 and replace it on square 11. Now White has a chance to recover the loss by moving 14-9 forcing the on square 6 onto square 10(Var 1.), then 25-22, 26-17, 21-7 should draw. HRG

Var 1. Instead of 6-10, move 11-15 9x2 15-18 21-17 27-31 2-7 26-22 25-21 18-23 17-14 1-5 should draw. HRG
