As White was not threatening anything there was no reason to delay matters. 29... N-N5! would have won at least a Pawn by a still dominating position. This game - more than any other - provse how useless from the sporting point of view was the arrangement of this second match, and at the same time explains my indifferent play on a number of occasions. I felt sure that Bogolubov was no longer able to take advantage of the opportunities my play might present to him, and - very unfortunately for the general artistic value of the present match - the score 7 to 1 after the twenty-second game fully justified my sanguine outlook. |
