 jjlays another instead. Then Black plays so that Wliite

 solution is 1. E to K6. If then 1. . . K xR, 2. K to B8,

CHESS INTELLIGENCE. 



Mr. F. J. Marshall, while in London, won a short match 

 against Mr. J. Mortimer by four games to love. At the 

 time of writing, !Mr. Marshall is leading in the " Kmg's 

 Gambit " Tourney at Vienna. 



The "brilliancy" prizes in the Monte Carlo Tournament 

 have been awarded to Herr Mieses and Mr. Pillsburv. 



'J'he game below, from the International Cable Matcli, 

 is remarkable for the combination, beginning at the 

 25th move, by which Mr. Marshall turned the tables on 

 his opponent. Mr. Atkins could nevertheless have drawn 

 bv 25.. . RxKt; 2(i. ExR, BxK; 27. RxB, QxR; 

 28, Q to K7. R to Bscj., when White would draw by 

 perpetual check.
