* The loss of this game shows the strength of two bishops against the rooks, particularly when the king is placed between two pawns. But if, instead of employing your rooks to make war against his pawns, you had on the thirty-first move played your rook at the black queen's square; on the thirty-second move brought your other rook at your adversary's king's second square; and on the thirty-third move sacrificed your first rook for his king's bishop; you had made it a drawn game. |
