Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Bc5 4. c3 Qf6 5. O-O Nge7 6. d4 exd4 7. Bxc6 {The Kt was taken for the sake of getting out of the "bookwork" as soon as possible. } dxc6 {The best move} 8. cxd4 Bb6 9. Bg5 Qe6 10. Nc3 O-O 11. h3 {This move was made under a misapprehension. When the committee met to decide upon their play, they inadvertently, in setting up the men, placed Black's Queen at Q 3rd, instead of K 3rd. The mistake was not discovered tin several moves had been played on both rides, when Stourbridge, rather than spoil the game, very generously allowed the moves up to the 11th to be retracted.} h6 12. Bh4 { Perhaps B takes Kt would have been better.} Ng6 13. Bg3 f5 {What is the object of this move if they did not intend to push the Pawn upon the Bishop} 14. e5 Rd8 15. Re1 Ba5 {This looks like playing White's game.} (15... Qf7 {followed by Be6 would bampered white terribly.}) 16. Qa4 Bxc3 17. bxc3 Kh7 {An unfortunate move.} 18. c4 b6 19. Rad1 Bb7 20. d5 {White have now regained the attack.} cxd5 21. Nd4 Qe8 {It is not easy to say which is the best retreat for Queen.} 22. Qxe8 Rxe8 23. Nxf5 Rad8 24. e6 c6 ({A grave error. They should have played} 24... dxc4) 25. Bc7 Ra8 26. f4 Rec8 27. cxd5 cxd5 (27... Rxc7 { evidently loses}) 28. Rc1 Re8 {This combination is unsound. They should have played} (28... d4 {in which case White must have played} 29. Nxd4 {as any attempt to win the exchange would have cost them dear.}) 29. Nd6 Re7 30. Nxb7 Rc8 31. f5 {This it is which renders Black's 28th move useless.} Nh4 32. Nd6 Rf8 (32... Rcxc7 {the game is lost at once.}) 33. Re5 d4 34. Rc4 g6 ({if} 34... g5 {then white plays} 35. Bd8 {and wins}) 35. f6 Rxf6 36. Bd8 Rfxe6 37. Bxe7 Rxe5 38. Bxh4 {And in a few more moves Black resigned.} 1-0
