Instead of 9. Kt. takes Kt. . White may also play 9. P. to Q.5.. 

 a move adopted by Jlr. Steel, of Calcutta. This move cramps 

 Black's game very much, and unless he carefully op poses it , he 

 will get a bad game. Black might continue, 9. Kt. takes Kt.

j„ Q. to Q.5. Castles Q.R. 



Kt. to R.3. 



It would obviously be bad to play 9. Kt. to R.4., as Black would 

 then most likely lose this piece by P. to Q.Kt.4. being eventually 

 played. Checking with the Queen on Black's tenth move would 

 also be bad, as White would play K. to B.sq. On the whole, we 

 think the move 9. P. to Q.5. is sound, and ought to obtain at least 

 a dran-n game. 



,, ^ P. toB.3. 



^f'^-" ^- Kt. to kt.3, 

 a move favoured and played often by Mr. Blackbume, who then 

 proceeded to bring his Q.Kt. over to his King's side. Should Black 

 Castle too hastily on his King's side. White would at once proceed 

 with an attack, by advancing P. to K.R.4.

^Vhitc might also contmue with 5. —

If, on his sixth move. White proceeds with P. to K.5., Black ought 

 to obtain the better game, i.e., 

 , P. to K.4. „ Kt. to K.B.3.

Kt. to B.3. 



Black's best reply to this is 6. P. to Q.4. If, now, White replies with 

 7. P. takes Kt., a likely-looking move, Black will have a very good 

 and valid defence, i.e., 



P. takes Kt. g P. t akes Kt.P. g B. to Kt.5.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 

 •,• Please address Chens-Editor. 



i. P. B. — You have taken the correct view of the subject in your 

 last letter to us. 



Geo. Bell. — Only Pawns "can take Pawns" in passing. For 

 instance, place White Pawn on K5, Black Pawn on Q2 ; if now 

 Black moves P to Q4, White's Pawn can take the Black Pawn as if 

 it had only moved to Q3. 



Clare. — Cook's " Sj-nopsis," 3rd edition, or Gossip's " Theory of 

 the Openings." 



J. Park. — Game well known ; also published in Howard Taylor's 

 " Chess Brilliants." 2. From about laiO to 1850. 



J. Hall.— Thanks. 



D. See. — We should be going beyond the scope of our Cheai 

 Column. 



John Griffith. — In Castling the King only must not pass a square 

 commanded by a hostile piece. 1. Wormald has about 7 1 or 76 

 2. It is quite a different thing. 3. No. 4. 38. 6d.
