F. T. Wilhelmy. — Tour solutions last month (correct) 

 were received on the l.jth, after this page had gone to the 

 printers. 



J. W. Meyjes and Alpha.- — Several competitors, like 

 yourself, are still solving without any idea of " competing." 



JF. W. Flcitm. — The fallacy of course is obvious enough, 

 the only difficulty consisting in calculating the area of the 

 " gap." I do not follow your argument which gives an 

 area of 81 for the rectangle. 



F. T. Moff.—Tno late to reply to last month. P to Q3ch 

 was incorrect. 



Solution Touknet, 



The following are the leading scores up to date : — 



Serenteen points. — S. G. LiickcOGk, J. T. Blakemore, 

 G. W , C. Johnston, A. C. Challenger, A. Dod, W. Jav, 

 S. W. Billings. 



Sixteen points. — J. Baddelev, H. le Jeune, B. Harley. 

 G. Groom. F. J. Lea, W. de P. Crousaz, W. H. S. M.. 

 N. K. Dutt, Endirby, F. Dennis, C. C. Massev, Eugene 

 Henry, A. J. Head, J. Sowden, G. W. Miadletou", E. Hunt, 

 Vivien H. Macmeikan, A. E. TMiitehouse, J. E. Broadbent, 

 C. Child. 



Fourteen points. — G. A. Forde (Capt.), A. H. Machell 

 Cox, Alpha, H. Boyes, C. F. P. 



Thirteen points. — J. M. K., W. Nash, C. C. Pennington. 

 Problem No. 3 was correctly solved in all cases. No. I, 

 on the other hand, claimed tive victims, and No. 2 nine. 



In reference to the Chess Puzzle given in the last 

 numlicr, E. J. P. points out that whereas the gradient from 

 C to A is obviously two in five, or 16 in 80, that from 

 B to C is only three in eight, or 15 in 80; which clearly 

 shows that A C and C B are not in the same straight line. 

 The same of course applies to B F and F A.

CHESS INTELLIGENCE. 



The prize-winners in the recent International Tournament 

 came out in the following order -.— 1, D. Janowski 10}; 

 2, C. Schlechter, 9i ; 3, Von Scheve, 9} ; 4, M. Tchigorin, 

 9 ; .5, S. Alajiin, 8t ; 6, J. Mieses, 7. M. Janowski's 

 victory shows that he has completely recovered the form 

 which he had evidently lost at the Munich Tournament 

 last summer, when he could do no better than tie for the 

 seventh and eighth jirizes. Herr Schlech+er on that occa- 

 sion tied for the first three prizes with Mr. Pillsbury and 

 Herr Maroczy. In the present t')uniament he has done 

 equally well, and by his consistent form has proved his 

 claim to be considei'ed one of the first five players of the 

 day. Herr von Scheve, who has been an absentee from 

 tournaments for the past ten years, did far better than 

 he has ever done before. Of the other veterans neither 

 Herr Wiuawer nor the English representatives did very 

 well, though Mr. Blaekburne came out next to the prize- 

 winners, and Mr. Gnnsberg at one time seemed certain to 

 .secure a place, ilr. Marshall has not sustained his repu- 

 tation, already considerably dimmed by his recent per- 

 formances in America. Signer Eeggio, the winner of the 

 recent Italian National Tournament, made a very promising 

 first appeai'ance, and is evidently considerably stronger 

 th:in Vorgani, the Italian representative at Hastings in 

 189.5. 



A Russian National Tournament held at iloscow had 

 previously resulted in the victory of M. Tchigorin, E. 

 Schift'ers being second, and D Janowski third. The latter 

 evidently derived some benefit from the practice obtained 

 on that occasion.
