Q-B3 is impossible apart from the fact that it would block the KBP, e.g. 18. ... Q-B3; 19. P-K5, PxP; 20. Kt-K4, etc.
19. R-QB2 Q-B3
Now the attack shown in the last note could be answered with Q- R5.
20. Kt-Kt4
Here P-KKt4 could be answered by Kt-Q5, e.g. 21. P-Kt5, Q-Kt3; 22. R-Kt3, P-B4.
20. ... Q-Kt3
21. R-Kt3 P-B4
22. Kt-K5 Q-K3
23. KtxKt KtxKt
24. P-K5 Kt-Kt5!
This prevents the Rook from occupying the Q file which is about to be opened.
25. R-B4 PxP
26. Q-R1 Q-Q2!
If now QxP, Black plays R-B2 with unanswerable threats of R-K1 or Q1.
27. Kt-B3 PxP
28. Kt-K5 Q-K2
29. RxKBP QR-K1
30. Kt-B4 Q-K8ch
31. R-B1 QxQ
32. RxQ KtxP
33. P-R3 P-B5
34. R-Q3 Kt-Kt5
35. R-Q7 P-B6!
36. PxP RxP
37. RxRP Kt-Q6
threatens mate in six.
38. R-R1 Kt-K8
mate is again threatened.
39. Kt-Q2 RxPch
40. K-Kt1 R-Kt6ch
41. K-R2 R-Q6!
42. RxKt RxKtch
43. RxR RxR
44. R-Q7 R-K6
45. RxP RxP
46. RxP P-R3
47. R-B6
A few more moves "for fun."

White: Salwe. Black: Marshall.
Two Knights' Defence
1. P-K4 P-K4
2. Kt-KB3 Kt-QB3
3. B-B4 Kt-B3
4. Kt-Kt5
This attack may be tempting, as the BP cannot be protected, but it is against that elementary principle which says that no attack should be undertaken in the opening until the minor pieces are mobilised, provided of course that Black also has made sound opening moves. There is every likelihood that the attack in the present instance will
