27. D 11.

28. F 12. This move is very good, otherwise White plays at E 16 and breaks into the Black position.

29. F 9.

30. Q 14.

31. K 16.

32. R 9.

33. S 2. If Black plays at R 9, this move is necessary for the security of the white group.

50. E 3.

51. G 2. This is a fine move. By means of it Black is compelled to play at K 2 and White can occupy F 5 on his 53d move and thus escape, whereas without G 2 White could only have played at F 4, whereupon Black could have cut off the retreat at F 6.
