Notes by Frank Marshall. Britisher Amos Burn was a very conservative player who liked to settle down for a long session of closed, defensive chess. He loved to smoke his pipe while he studied the board. |
| | |
|
1... d5 2. c4 e6 |
Burn began hunting through his pockets for his pipe and tobacco. |
| | |
|
3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Be7 |
Not much thought needed on these moves, but Burn had his pipe out and was looking for a pipe cleaner. |
| | |
|
5. e3 O-O 6. Nf3 b6 7. Bd3 Bb7 8. cxd5 exd5 |
He began filling up his pipe. I speeded up my moves. |
| | |
|
9. Bxf6 Bxf6 10. h4 |
Made him think on that one. And he still didn't have the pipe going. The threat is Bxh7 , Kxh7; Ng5 , known as the Pillsbury Attack. |
| | |
|
10... g6 11. h5 Re8 12. hxg6 hxg6 |
Now he was looking for matches. |
| | |
|
13. Qc2 Bg7 14. Bxg6 fxg6 |
He struck a match and appeared nervous. The match burned his fingers and went out. |
| | |
|
15. Qxg6 Nd7 |
Another match was on its way. |
| | |
|
16. Ng5 Qf6 |
He was puffing away and lighting up at last, but too late. |
| | |
|
17. Rh8+ Kxh8 18. Qh7# |
Poor Burn. I think I swindled him out of that one. If he could only have got that pipe going, it might have been a different story. He took it good naturedly and we shook hands. Then his pipe went out. |
