Notes. 



(m) The Queen continues to return by easy stages. He 

 might have saved the exchange among other ways by 31. 

 B to KB8. 



(h) The Queen is obviously threatened. 84. K to R2 

 is useless on account of 84. . . . KtxKtP! The same 

 objection applies to 84. Q to B3. The game in fact cannot 

 be saved, and Mr. Hodtjes proceeds to bring the game to 

 a clever and rapid termination. 



(o) A process in which he is not assisted by Mr. Lasker, 

 who overlooked the best reply at this point, and discovered 

 it eight moves later. 



CHESS INTELLIGENCE. 



(rt) New, but unenterprising. 4. BxKtch and 4. P to 

 Q4 are both stronger. 



(//) A very good development in this position. Black 

 will evidently have the first opportunity for advancing his 

 P to KB4. 



(<•) The Pawn should go two squares ; fide his 8th move. 

 6. B to QB4 (threatening Kt to KKt5) would be met by 

 Kt to R4 or Kt to Kt3. 



(d) Mr. Lasker inherits Paul Morphy's predilection for 

 this move. In the present case the Bishop seems well 

 posted, being unassailable by either of the adverse Knights. 



((•) Black does well in refusing to exchange. Taking 

 the Pawn wovdd give freedom, by slaughter or otherwise, 

 to White's useless King's Knight. At his next mo%'e, 

 however, he should play K to Esq, with a view to the 

 advance of the KBP. 



(/') Seldom advisable, the present instance being no 

 exception. He might play with safetv 10. P x P, QKt x P ; 

 11. B to K2. 



((/) The Bishop is too valuable to exchange. We should 

 much prefer B to Bsq, to be followed by woi'ldng the QKt 

 round to KB5 if possible. 



(/i) The Queen is liable to be attacked here later on. 

 Probably 14. Q to K2 would be a safer line of play. 



((■) This results in overcrowding. There seems no 

 objection to the obvious Kt to Kt5. White's play now 

 becomes unintelligible for a time. 



(j) This advance of the unsupported QKtP is a favourite 

 manceuvre of Mr. Lasker's. On principle it is clearly 

 weakening for the end-game. 



{k) Prettily played. Clearly White cannot play 25. 

 P to KKt4, Kt to"B5; 26. PxKt? Nor would he' gain 

 anything by 26. Q x Kt, PxQ; 27. BxQ, KtxB, etc. 

 After this Black gives up a Pawn in order to secure the 

 KBP with safety, and at the same time leave the White 

 Queen out of play. 



(/) He is compelled to guard the EP which will be 

 threatened next move ; but there was another way by 

 K to E2, which was possibly better. 



In the Handicap Tournament of the British Chess Club, 

 Mr. Trenchard has come out the winner of one section : in 

 tlie other Mr. Donisthorpe has the best chance. The 

 winner of this section will play Mr. Trenchard for the first 

 prize. 



Mr. Lasker has been playing the leading New York 

 players with almost uniform success. It is hoped that a 

 match with S. Lipschiitz will be arranged. 



.January 28th is the date fixed for the North v. South 

 match at Birmingham. There will be 100 pla3-ers on each 

 side, with ten reserves. Mr. Blackburne has accepted the 

 post of umpire, no sinecure in a match arranged on such a 

 gigantic scale, and with the time of play probably limited 

 to about four hours. 



A match by correspondence is in progress between the 

 Berlin and Leipsic Clubs. The former are represented by 

 Messrs. Alapiu, Hirschfeld, Von Scheve, Walbrodt and 

 Winawer : while the Leipsic committee consists of Messrs. 

 Bardeleben, Max Lange and Alieses. Two games are 

 being played, the time limit averaging five days a move. 



A match was played recently at Newcastle between 

 Messrs. Bird and Hey wood. Chess Editor of the Xt'ucustle 

 Chronicle. Three games were played on even terms, of 

 which Mr. Bird won two and lost one. Three games at 

 the odds of Pawn and move resulted in equality. Three 

 other games, in which Mr. Bird conceded the large odds of 

 Pawn and two moves, resulted in one win to Mr. Heywood 

 and one drawn game : the final game was not played, Mr. 

 Bird resigning the game and the match. 



A second edition of the " Chess Openings " by Messrs. 

 Freeborough and Eanken is in the press. The price will 

 be 6s. 6d. net.
