[August 1, 1887. 



Following up the attack, and better than Kt x R, if Black play 

 E to Kfq, White would continue with R to KBsq, &c. 



Kt to Q2 



P to KKt3 Q to K2 



R to Ksq Q to Qsq 



Q to R5 Kt to B3 



This looked a likely move. 



Q to B5 

 \ery good 1 Threatening Kt x Kt (ch) and Q to R7 mate. 



Kt to Qi 

 Curiously enough, there is nothing better but to retire. 

 B X P I P X B 



If Black play anything else, his general prospects would not 

 improve much— i.e.. P to Kt3. Q to R3, and if K x Kt, B to Kt5(ch) !

 Mk. F. H. Lewis. 



A most remarkaljle combination of brilliant moves that do not often 



occur in actual play.

White, 



Mr. F. H. Lewis. 



The game tcrtBinated as follows : — 



White. Blark. 



E to Kt6 

 Ilayed, no doubt, in the hope of bringing about a surprise mate by 

 means of B to K'l, followed by R x Rf (ch). 



R to Ksq. 

 This is an attacking as well as a defensive move. 



P to QR4 

 Kt X P (ch) 

 Black intended to surprise his opponent, and did not therefore 

 expect to be attacked himself. 



K to R2 



Kt to B5 P to R5 



KtxP 

 A brave and captivating Knight 1 



BxKt 

 It is plain that White can equally win if Black does not take the 

 Knight, 



KR to K7 R to Kt8 (ch) 



K to R2 R (Kt8) to Kt7 



R X B (ch) K to R3 



Black was mistaken in believing that this would give him a better 

 chance for escape than K to R sq. 



K to Kt3 I 

 Good I If R to R7 (ch), Black escapes r\d K to Kt4. 



R X P (ch)

End position in the fourteenth game of the match Blackburne v.

White. 

 Zukertort. 



Black won as follows : — 



Kt to R3 (ch) 



K to Kt6 K to B2 



A verj' subtle manceuvie, which forces the game. If White, instead 

 of taking the Kt, would play anything else, fay B to R4, Black 

 wins by Kt to Kt sq, K to B5, P to B5, ard Black, by giving up 

 his BP, obtains both the White P's on B6 and Q.5, remaining with 

 two passed Pawns ahead.
