Notes. 



{(t) Apparently wasted time, hut the same would apply 

 to Black's reply. 



(6) To unpin the Knight. By its captm-e Black gives 

 his opponent the advantage of two Bishops iu an oj)en 

 position. 



(e) Black is now caught in a trap of his own setting. 

 His last five moves have simply been waste of time, and he 

 now loses the Pawn gained, and obtains besides a practi- 

 cally losing position. 



(cZ) Apparently overlooking the uselessness of his next 

 move ; but in any case the position is quite hopeless. The 

 White Queen does some sm-prising execution at the end. 



CHESS INTELLIGENCE. 



The following was the final result of the " King's 

 Gambit " Tourney at Vienna: — M. Tchigorin, 13; F. J. 

 Marshall, \\\; G. Marco, 11 ; H. N. Pillsbury, 10 G. 

 Maroczy, J. Mieses and E. Teichmann, 9; Sviderski, 8i ; 

 C. Schlechter, 7 ; I. Gunsbevg, 2. Mr. Teichmann would 

 have been higher but for ill-health, but Mr. Giinsberg 

 made a very disappointing reapjiearance. 



The Championsliij) of the Southern Counties' Chess 

 Union has been won for the seventh time, by Surrey, for 

 whom Mr. G. E. Wainwright has played at the top board. 

 Worcestershire, led by Mr. Bellingham, have come out at 

 the head of the Midland Counties' Union for the third 

 vear in succession.
