{A position after White's move 13 g4 is given in BCM, which seems to indicate
an opening roughly as follows:} 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bc4 Nxe4 4. Qh5 Nd6 5.
Bb3 Nc6 6. d3 g6 7. Qf3 Bg7 8. Nh3 Nf5 9. Ng5 O-O 10. h4 Ncd4 11. Qe4 d6 12.
Qd5 Qe7 13. g4 {Wade's comment is "Alexander completely refuted Milner-Barry's
opening and [in this position] had an easy win. However, he missed this
opportunity though eventually winning two pawns. After that Milner-Barry put
great heart into the fight, held on to the major pieces, making it too
dangerous to use the extra material. In the last two sessions of this
four-session battle Alexander does not appear to have had a win." (Source: BCM,
Oct 1948, p339)} 1/2-1/2
