Kt—Q B 3

Black cannot put off White’s P—Q 4 by B—K Kt 5, for White can give a check with the Queen and unpin the Knight.

6. P—Q Kt 4

The object of this move is not clear, as P—Kt 5 does not win a pawn (Kt—R 4 ; 8 Kt × P ; 9 Q—R 5 ch). It does not promote development either, and only compromises the Q B P and O Kt P.

Kt—B 3

This is aimed at the White King’s pawn, which is deprived of its natural support by the Q Kt.

Being able to castle, he can occupy the file with his Rook before White has time to bring his King into safety.
