(See the remarks of the second game.) Nevertheless you must play it; but endeavour afterward with the help of your pieces, to change this your queen's pawn for his king's and thus give a free passage to your own king's pawn. c Your adversary is forced in his present situation to propose the changing of knights, although by this move he separates his pawns; for if he had played any thing else, you would have taken his rook's pawn, by playing only your knight at the black queen's knight's fourth square. 15.
