e He plays this knight to take your queen's bishop, which would turn out very incommodious to him, in case he should castle on his queen's side. Observe, as a general rule, that if the strength of your game consists in pawns, the best way is to take the adversary's bishops, because they can stop the advancing of the pawns, much better than the rooks.

f Being unable to save your bishop without doing worse, play your queen to take his place again when taken; for if you had played it at your king's bishop's fourth square to frustrate the check of his knight, he would have pushed his king's knight's pawn upon your said bishop, and thus won the game immediately.

g If he had played his queen any where else, she would have been cramped; he therefore offers to change, that in case you refuse, he may place her at her third square, where she would be extremely well posted.

h If you did not take his queen, your game would be still worse.

i If you had pushed this pawn two steps, you had got his queen's pawn, taking it with your bishop. This would have given you much the advantage of the game.

k Always strive to prevent the adversary doubling his rooks, especially where there is an opening in the game.

He plays this pawn to push afterward that of his king's knight upon your knight, with a view to drive it from his post; but if he had pushed his knight's pawn before he played this, you must have posted your knight at your king's rook's fourth square, and have arrested the progress of all his pawns.

m If instead of playing this he had given check with his rook's pawn, it would have been bad play, and entirely against the instruction given in the observation marked a in the first game.

a This knight is played to induce your adversary to take it; but if he did, he would play very ill; because a knight thus placed, and sustained by two pawns, while you have no pawn left to push up to remove it, that knight is at least worth a rook, and becomes so inconvenient, that you will be forced to take it, and in this case your adversary reunites his two pawns, one of which will probably either make a queen, or cost you a piece to prevent the same.

b If he had taken your pawn, his game would have been very much weakened, because his knight had then been propped up by one pawn instead of two; besides, he would have been forced to withdraw his king's knight when attacked, in order to save the pawn that sustain cd it.
