Premier Reserve Game.
An interesting game won by H. Steiner (New York) against P. S. Milner-Barry in the Premier Reserve Tournament at Hastings.

(a) On Q 3 the bishop is always menaced by P-B5 unless White anticipates that move by following up immediately by P-B4, especially in view of black's next move of R-B1.
(b) Not a good move for several reasons.
(c) B-Q2 was preferable.
(d) Well played. From this point black never relaxes his attacking hold.
(e) White could not play 20. NxN on account of N-B6ch winning the rook, but playing Q-Q1 does not in the least help to defend the threatened King's side.
(f) Again cleverly played. The queen cannot take that knight on account of N-N4 dis. ch., winning the queen.
