[Footnote A: The following moves will show the probable result of taking the P. with Kt.:—
11. Kt. takes Q. B. P. 11. Q. to her 2d. 12. P. to Q. Kt’s 5th. 12. R. to Q. R’s sq.
(His best move; if P. takes P., then White plays Q. to her R’s 7th.)
13. Q. to her sq. 13. P. takes P., or B. takes Kt.
And White has little if any advantage.]
