NOTES. 



(a) Quite sound ; Black can also play. 8. P takes P as given in 

 ihe synopsis, to be followed by K to Kt2, B to K2, and R to B sq. 

 Mr. Zukortort recommends K to Kt3, but we think this unne- 

 cessary, as by either of the two defences above Black is fairly pro- 

 tected. 



(i) Never a good move in this opening. B to K2 or Kt2 is the 

 right move ; the King being exposed requires the protection of the 

 Bishop. If B to Kt2, in that case only Black would follow up by 

 K to Kt3. 



(f) Or BK2, Mr. Freeborough's move. 



(d) Not apprehending any danger, Black thought this secure. 

 14. Kt takes B would not have promised well, for then 15. R takes 

 Kt, R to B sq, 16. R takes R, Q takes R, 17. Q to K2, Q to K2, 18. R 

 to KBsq, B to K3, 19. R to B6. This latter move Black could 

 hardly prevent ; it gives Black a bad game. 



(e) A veiy fine view of position for a blindfold player to master 

 by mental sight ; it wins by force. 



(/) 17. K to Kt2 would bo still worse, for then Q to Kt5 (ch). 

 If now K to R sq, then Q takes Kt (ch) wins ; or if K to B2, then R 

 to B sq (ch) wins. 



(g) Black has no resource left if 18. Q to K2, 19. R takes Kt, K 

 to Kt2, 20.K to B6, threatening Q to Kto or R6 (ch), and wins.
