KNOWLEDGE. 



[March, 1903. 



" Endirhy." — Only two keys to a problem can score 

 points. Duals no longer count this year. 



L. C. T. (India). — The solutions for which you ask are 

 as follow: W. H. Gundry (Julv, 1900), Kt to"Q4; A. F. 

 Mackenzie (August, 1900"), B to R5 (or B to QB7) ; this is 

 a two-move problem, erroneously printed as a three-mover. 

 B. Gr. Laws (June, 1900), incorrectly diagrammed, and 

 reprinted in the following number. The "White Knight at 

 QRsq should be a King. Solution Kt to B6. 



J. C. Candy. — Thanks for the problems. You will see 

 that I have at last found room for your former batch. 



W. Jay and G. Woodcock. — Any criticisms of 

 problems at present would, I think, be premature.

White (8). 



White mates in two moves. 



White (7) 



White mates in three moves. 



[As our stock of problems is now nearly exhausted, we 

 hope that those readers of this page who are composers 

 will send some of their compositions in either two or 

 three moves.] 



PROBLEM TOURNEY. 



Through the courtesy of the six solvers who are acting as 

 preliminary judges in the tournament, I am able to publish 

 their award this month, and shall hope to give my final 



award in the April number, 

 have received votes: — 



The following problems 



The main gap in this list evidently comes between Nos. 

 10 and 17, whereas Nos. 6 and 10 come very close to 

 No. 13. I have therefore decided to select the first eight 

 in the score, viz. : — No. 4, "Three Steps and a Shuttle-off "' ; 

 No. 6, " Trifolium Duplex " ; No. 10, " Possibilities " ; 

 No. 12, " Ariadne " ; No. 13, " Leonard " ; No. 18, 

 " Bargany " ; No. 24, " Weighty " ; and No. 26. " Ben 

 Trovato." The overwhelming preponderance of votes 

 given to No. 18 is the most remarkable feature of the list. 

 Until I come to scale the problems I cannot, of course, say 

 whether it will maintain its lead. 



CHESS INTELLIGENCE. 



The third International Tournament at Monte Carlo is 

 now in progress. The list of competitors is greatly 

 weakened by the absence of Messrs. Janowski, Lasker, and 

 Tchigorin. It is a two-round competition, the players being 

 Albin, Marco, Maroczy, Marshall, Mason, Moreau, Mieses, 

 Pillsbury, Reggio, Schlechter, Tarrasch,Taubenhaus, Teich- 

 raann, and Wolf. As might be expected, Mr. Pillsbury 

 has already obtained the lead, while Maroczy and Teich- 

 mann have also made a good start. 



We much regret to record the death of Mr. James 

 Innes Minchin, for many years Honorary Secretary of the 

 St. George's Chess Club. Mr. Minchin was, after Professor 

 Wayte, probably the strongest of the regular players in 

 the club, and took a leading part in promoting the 

 International Tournament of 1883.
