 CHESS INTELLIGENCE. 



The Inter-ITniversity Match took place on March 23rd, 

 the scene of play, after the lapse of many years, being 

 once more the St. George's Chess Club. The result was a 

 rather decisive victory for Cambridge. Mr. Pillsbnry 

 officiated as adjudicator, and the score was : —

 bined forces to play their fifth match by cable against the 

 American Universities. The result depended on Mr. 

 Pillsbury's adjudication on the game at the last board, 

 and the' award of this game to the English team gave 

 them the victory. Score : —

The Anglo-American cable match for the Newnes 

 Challenge Cup was played on April 3rd and 4th. Messrs. 

 Pillsbury and Marshall, being in London at the time, 

 played their games over the board, as last year, and 

 against the same opponents. The result in Mr. Pillsbury's 

 case was again a drawn game against Mr. T. F. Lawrence, 

 the City of London champion, but Mr. Marshall took his 

 revenge on Mr. Atkins. Mr. Blackburne played in his 

 most ingenious style against Mr. Barry, but eventually 

 succumbed under great pressure of the time limit. Mr. 

 Mills drew with Mr. Hodges, as everyone predicted. It 

 does not speak well for the improvement of English chess, 

 that the two players new to the team were frlayers of such 

 long standing as Messrs. Gunston and Hooke. The 

 fonner of these, a very sound player, and an exjiert in 

 correspondence games, certainly justified bis inclusion. 

 The Americans retained possession of the trophy ; should 

 they do the same next year it will become theirs finally. 

 The score was as imder : —

At Monte Carlo, last month. Dr. Tarrasch, of Nuremburg, 

 won his sixth international tournament, and this in spite 

 of the fact that he scored only 2'- out of his first six games. 

 Nowadays, owing to want of practice, he is always a bad 

 starter, but he gradually recovers all his old form, and in 

 a long contest like that under notice he is sure to be near 

 the top. For a long time Messrs. Pillsbury and Teichmann 

 held the lead, but ultimately lost their jilaces, and were 

 passed by Maroczy. In the absence of Lasker, Janowski, 

 and Tchigorin, the tournament was. of course, not quite 

 representative of international strength, but there seems 

 to have been only one really weak player. The final score 

 was : — First Prize, Dr. S. Tarrasch, 20 ; Second Prize, 

 G. Maroczv, 19 ; Third Prize, H. N. Pillsbury, 18* ; C. 

 Schlechter,"l7; E. Teichmann, iGi ; G. Marco, 15i ; F. 

 Wolf, 14 ; J. Mieses, 13 ; F. J. Marshall, 12 ; J. Mason 

 and S. Taubenhaus, lOj ; A. Albin, 8 ; Eeggio, 71 ; Col. 

 Moreau, 0. 



Yet another international tourney begins at Vienna on 

 the 1st of this month, the "King's Gambit accepted" 

 being compulsory in every game. 



Briyldon Society announces a three-move problem 

 tournament in connection with Das Neue Ilhtstrirte Blati, 

 the idea being to ascertain what kind of problem will best 

 fall in with the widely differing views of English and 

 Continental judges. Mr. B. G. Laws will be the English 

 judge. Entries from Great Britain should reach Mr. Max 

 J. Meyer (Chess- Editor of Brighton Society), St. Charles, 

 Percy Road, Bournemouth, not later than May 31st. 



Mr. H. N. Fellows, of 74, Curzon Street, Wolverhampton, 

 has issued a short and clearly -written pamphlet, reprinted 

 from the Wolverhampton Journal, on the art of solving 

 three-move chess problems. The price of the leaflet, which 

 is intended for beginners, is 2d. post free.
