1. e4 e5 2. f4 Bc5 3. Nf3 d6 4. Nc3 Bg4 5. h3 Bxf3 6. Qxf3 Nc6 7. Bb5 Nf6. Black should not allow his c-Pawn to be doubled. Far better would be 7. ... Ne7.
8. d3 0-0 9. Bxc6 bxc6 10. fxe5 dxe5 11. Bg5 Be7 12. Ne2 Rb8 13. b3 Ne8 14. Be3 a5. This Pawn is very exposed here, and later Black will have to put a Rook into a bad position to defend it. Black should have moved this Pawn only one step.

Sul sito unoscacchista.com Adolivio Capece dà notizia soltanto di una partita fra Gladig e Schlechter giocata il 9 Dicembre e terminata patta: "Nel dicembre 1910 giunse a Trieste Karl Schlechter (che, ricordiamo, a febbraio aveva pareggiato il mondiale con Lasker – quello famoso perché per ottenere il titolo lo sfidante avrebbe dovuto concludere con due punti di vantaggio – e in agosto aveva vinto il torneo di Amburgo) che il 7 dicembre si esibì simultanea (su 20 scacchiere), poi in una simultanea alla cieca l’8 (vinse 6 partite su 6) e il 9 giocò una partita proprio con Gladig, una partita che sebbene amichevole fu giocata con grande serietà da entrambi e finì pari dopo 4 ore."
