{It was now White’s turn to move, and she touched the f-pawn, of course intending f3, to drive off the black bishop, overlooking that the pawn is fixed by Black’s bishop at b6. The penalty was "move your king,"} 1. Kh1 {and then Black played} f3 {, which, it requires very little analysis to prove, wins the game in a few moves against any play:} 2. gxf3 Bxf3+ 3. Kg1 Qg5+ 4. Ng3 Bxd1 {and wins. It was a curious instance, full of point, where the necessary enforcement of a penalty meant nothing less than a lost game for White. It should be added that the more experienced players are not much troubled about the points now referred to, and of course this fact gives them additional advantages.

{A curiously interesting position occurred at the finish of the game Miss Forbes-Sharp vs. Miss Watson. The game was abandoned as drawn, although Black had two passed pawns united, as well as an extra pawn. Mr. Blackburne believes that, although the win is difficult, Black has a way of forcing the game. (Source: The Times, 28 June 1897 - notes by Samuel Tinsley) (not known who is to move but it makes no difference - Black can win either way - JS)}  1/2-1/2
