21. B. to Q. B's 3d. 21. Pawn takes Q. Kt's Pawn.
22. Pawn to K. R's 4th. 22. Pawn to Q. Kt's 7th.

In such a position, the advance of your King's flank Pawns is a process
too dilatory to be very effective.

23. Pawn to K. B's 5th. 23. Pawn to Q. Kt's 8th,
becoming a Queen.

Now the fault of your tortoise-like movements with the Pawns becomes
fatally evident. Black has been enabled to make a second Queen, and has
an overwhelming force at command.

24. Rook takes Queen. 24. Queen takes Rook (check).

You had no better move than to take the newly-elected Queen, for two
Queens must have proved irresistible.

25. King to his Kt's 2d. 25. Kt. to Queen's 3d.
26. K. Kt's Pawn to Kt's 6th. 26. P. takes Pawn.
27. P. takes Pawn. 27. Bishop to Q. Kt's 2d.

Here you have given another remarkable instance of lost opportunity. At
your last move you might have redeemed all former disasters by
checkmating your opponent in two moves. Endeavor to find out how this
was to be accomplished.

28. K. R's Pawn to R's 5th. 28. Knight takes King's Pawn.
29. Bishop to King's 5th. 29. Kt. to K. Kt's 4th
