 NOTES, 

 (ii) All anthorities agree in condemning this sally of the Bishop 

 and the capture of the Knight. Mr. McConnell, however, prefers 

 the text move to the usual 3. KKt to B3. 



{h) 8. B to R3 looks plausible, and seems to hamper Black's 

 movements considerably. 



(c) A slip, of which Black takes full advantage. 

 id) DnavaiUng. 



(e) Black must now win another piece, e.g., 23. K takes B, 

 Q to Q8 (ch). 24. Q to K sq., Q to QO (ch), &c.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 

 *,* Please address Chess Editor. 



W. T. Law.— Problems received with thanks. Will receive due 

 attention. 



Donna. — 107 correctly solved, but please see correction above. 

 You have the right first moves to 105 and 106. 



Query. — Replied by post last week. 



N. T. Angell v. G. Woodcock. 



P. G. R. — See last week's number. 



Clarence. — Highly flattered by your encouraging remarks. 

 Problem 33, of Pearson's collection, cannot be solved by 1. Q to E6, 

 Kt takes Q. 2. Kt takes Kt, as the R checks on K2 ;' nor can you 

 do No. 49 as proposed by 1. Kt to B3, B to Kt2. 2. Q takes B. 

 After 2. P takes Kt there is no mate. You are right in 107. 



A. Conrad Smart. — Notation indistinct. No. 106 after 1. P to 

 B5. 2. Q to Kts (oh), K to B4. There is no mate if 3. Q takes P, 

 Kt takes Q. No. 105, if 1. P takes Q. 2. P takes Kt (Q), E to B4, 

 and again there is no mate. 



Herbert W. Feather. — Problem received with thanks.
