[May 26, 1882. 



(<•) With a view of nvontiially playing P to K1-. 



(i') Blnck wnR afraid of Castlini?, on aoconnt of the commanriing 

 position of Whito'.M I5i.sho|>, for after Castle's Wliito mii^ht at onco 

 proceed with P to Kill, Kt to Kt5, P to K5, &c., that is to Bay, 

 proceed on tlio basis of attacking the Pawn on K2, of which wo 

 indicated the general lines; therefore, Black wished to oxchango 

 tliat Ri-ihop. 



(c) This again places another piece in a favourable position ; 

 slionld Black play P to KB t, then his King's Pawn becomes weak, 

 because unsupported by another Pawn, and therefore more liable to 

 be captured. 



(/) All this is merely wrangling for good positions, but Black is 

 wasting time in trying to exchange pieces. 



(;;) This is Mr. Steintz's old style ; Black cannot more P to 

 QKt3 now, even if ho wished to do so ; he suffers from the incon- 

 venience of having his Bishop blocked in. 



(h) \Vc shall see later on how the Pawn on B3 will fare. 



(i) Black would bo satisfied with a draw. 



(j) Inch by inch of the ground is won ; this is a fine move. He 

 intends at the suitable moment to push on his Queen's Bishop's 

 Pawn and use the Bishop for attacking on the Queen's side 

 vid Ktl. 



(i) Playing into White's hands ; but the difficulty is, what to 

 do? He dare not move the King's Knight, as White ivould play 

 B takes EP. Had }!lack played Kt to Q2, White might have 

 responded with Kt to Ktl, threatening the dangerous Kt takes EP, 

 which would yield White a winning attack. 



(/) White is in no hurry, he goes steady but sure ; this move will 

 further aid White as the Black Queen's Bishop's Pawn cannot now 

 be advanced. 



(m) With the object of avoiding a discovered attack on his 

 Queen, but it cramps his pieces very much. 



{n) White changes the originally intended move, for if he had 

 played B to Ktl, then Black could advance the Pawn to B4, he 

 having for that purpose played liis Queen to King's square. White 

 now threatens to win the exchange hy Kt to Kt6(ch). 



(o) E to K2 was the only other move at his disposal, but White 

 would have different ways of continuing his attack. Black's Eook 

 is brought into awkward play on account of the necessity of 

 defending his QBP, showing plainly how a strong player will take 

 advantage of a very slight weakness even. 



(p) White pressed on in sometimes almost an imperceptible 

 manner, and now he has gained the desired opportunity. He wins 

 two Pawns and the game, he having by sheer good judgment out- 

 manoeuvred his opponent. 



(</) A fine move. It further tightens his already strong hold. 

 Ho intends playing his Knight to Q6. 



(r) Black simply has no good move ; he is crushed. If R to Ksq, 

 then B takes BP. Besides B takes P. White also threatens to 

 win by Kt to Q6. If Q to Qsq, then, of course, B takes P.

 his move, 



(i>) The Bishop is usually captured with the Queen's Pawn. 



(«) We do not at all like this move, but it is the consequence of 

 Black's defence. 



(c) Looking at the position now, wo must again express it as oop 

 opinion that Black has not at all obtained a satisfactory defence. 



(d) To prevent P to Q4, and, in general, to hamper Black's 

 game. 



(<0 Tlireatening Kt takes P, and taking immediate energetic 

 action. 



(/) This is very vigorous ; if Black takes the B, then Q to 

 Kt4(ch), and on Q interposing, Kt takes B(ch) ; but the question 

 is, has Black a defence, in which case the B will bo forced to retiio 

 later on. 



(rj) The object of this move is to attack the weakened Pawns on 

 the Queen's wing ; but, of course, he must wait his opportunity, and 

 in the meantime Black might force matters on the King's side. 



(h) Black is defending himself very well. Should the white 

 Queen jilay to Kt7, then Black would retire his KR to Bsq, 

 threateiung R to Ktsq. Wc think, therefore, that the flank march 

 of the Queen was ill-advised. 



(i) Having got his Bishop in the good position on QB3, Black 

 now assumes the offensive himself, forcing the Queen, after her 

 little excursion on the Queen's wing, to return for the belter protec- 

 tion of her royal consort. 



(j) lie proceeds undaunted; should White advance the P to B5, 

 then R to Kt3, and after P takes Kt, P takes Kt, P takes P, 

 and R takes P, the White Pawn on K6 will be weak, and eventually 

 fall. 



(i) Black's manoeuvring is very fine ; should the White Bishop 

 retire to B2, he would proceed -with either Kt to R2, with the inten- 

 tion of playing P to Ktl, or, perhaps better, Kt to K3 attacking 

 the BP, to be followed, on the B again retiring to Ksq, by Kt to 

 Q5, threatening B takes Kt, and then Kt to B6(ch), fic. 



(I) An effort to extricate his King from the very uncomfortable 

 position, and, at first sight, to be preferred to retiring the B to B2, 

 thereby still further blocking up his King. 



(»i) This is indeed play of the very highest order. Black resisted 

 the Kt to K5 wisely ; now he keeps up his attack. K on the K's 

 file cannot be thought of, for after Kt takes B, Black would win 

 the exchange by discovered check. 



(.n) Zukertort would, of course, be quite satisfied with a draw. 



(o) The winning move. 



{}>) If E to Ksq., Kt to B6 (ch), K to B2., Kt takes R (ch), and 

 White has no resource left. We have no hesitation in saying that 

 Herr English is following closely in the wake of Steinitz, Zukertort, 

 and Blackburne. He is the man of the future.
