[May 1, 1886. 



Of course \Yliite can force the exchange of Queens by 20. Q to Rt. 

 Black was, however, quite right in giving liimself another chance o£ 

 avoiding the exchange, which would necessarily have followed on 

 lii-s moving the Kt. 



20. B to U2. 



This is weak, and again gives Black a tactical advantage. AVhitc 

 had a fine move at his disposal in 20. B to K4 ; he thereby effectually 

 defends his weak K Kt I', as Black cannot well take the B.

 White cannot defend this P, for if 22 



therefore aims at effecting exchanges.

 White wants to exchange as many Pawns as possible ; Black tries 



to retain his two Bishops, which, as will be seen from the following 

 ending, are of great power. 27. P to El was White's best.

 Still preventing the Queen from coming into play rid B2.

White has throughout this game shown superior steadiness and 

 judgment. Seeing that he slowly loses ground he gives np two 

 I 'awns in succession for the chance of bringing hi.s Queen and 

 Knights into the game, and getting possibly drawing chances.

White's hold is the position of the B on EC and Q to El (oh) if 

 P X I' Black's Pawns become weak, although we think Black should 

 win, yet it is ditficalt to decide, if a draw is undesirable.

 lUae K to B2 would have been belter. Black cannot do any- 

 thing by c 'Utinuing checking. 



30. B to Q3 

 37. Q to Q5 

 This gives Black the opportunity of gelling a winning ending by 

 exchanging Queens.

 IF White had played 41. K to B3 

 with a view to playing K to K4 if 

 B attacks Kt, Black would not 

 have piaved either B to K Kt sti. 

 or P to k3, but 41. P to R4, the 

 advance becoming dangerous.

45. Kt to K4 B to I!5 

 This is weak and loses a good deal 

 of Black's advantage. He might 

 safely have advanced his P to Kl4 

 or played B to B2. 



4G. Kt to K B5 

 The correct move, and wins a P ; for if K to Q2, then 4

Of course, if Kt x P (ch), K x P, and the Kt remains attacked. 



48. Kt to QKt7 48. B to R2 



The idea being to cut off the Kt if possible. Black had, however, a 

 better reply in B to Kt4, for then, if 49. Kt x EP, P to K3, and 

 Black will win the QP and have two Pawns clear.

51. Kt to Kt3 (ch). 



It seems natural for White to endeavonr to retreat his Kts for 

 the better protection of his K. It may be, however, that Kt to 

 Kt7 (ch) would have made winning a little more difficult. The 

 end-game is rather interesting, as showing the great strength of two 

 Bishops. We believe that Black can win whatever White docs.

52. Kt to B8 (ch) 52. K to Q2 



53. Kt to R7 



53. Kt to Kt6 (ch) is more plausible. 



53. B to K4 (ch) 

 A very important mantcuvre. Black intends to advance his P to 

 Kt5, so as to further limit the movements of the Kt after Kt to Kl4. 

 Black must advance the P as he cannot play B to Q6 on account of 

 Kt to B5 (ch). 



54. K to E3. 54. B to Q3 (ch) 

 A welcome check, which prevents Kt to B5.

'J'his looks best, for it not only gives the White K more room, but 

 the Kt also cuts off the Black K enlirelv.

This is surrendering to the enemy. A good fight would result it 

 White had jilaved 59. Kt to KI53: probably P toKlG (ch) : 60. K to 

 Q sq, B to B.i"; 61. Kt to B3, 15 to Qli ; 6"2. Kt to Q2, P to Kt7 : 

 63. Kt to Kt sq ; and Black must advance with his K.
