Alpha. — Your key to No. 1, " Q to Qsq," had to be

F. J. Lea.—li 1. B to Kt3, P to E7. The problem is 

 of the " waiting move " class m the sense that mates are 

 all ready prepared. But as there is nu waiting move 

 available, one of the prepared mates has to be given up 

 for auothi'r, which constitutes the main variation.

The relative jsositions of the twelve leaders in the 

 Solution Tourney are unaltered this month, with the 

 exception that W. de P. Crousaz. having lost one point, is 

 now caught up by W. Nash and J. E. Broadbent. Messrs, 

 Challenger, Jay, and Johnston have now scored fifty 

 |ioints each — thi;' highest possible score. I regret to find 

 that Mr. J. T. Blakemore, who was equal with them for 

 the first six months, has apparently retired froin the 

 com]:)etition. 



CHESS INTELLIGENCE. 



The Manchester Weekly Times announces a pi'oblem 

 tourney for two-move and three-move direct mates. 

 Three prizes will be given in each section, and entries close 

 on November 1st. 



Mr. H. N. Pillsbury won the first prize in the annual 

 tournament of the New York State Chess Association. 

 Messrs. Delmar and Napier tied for second and third 

 prizes, Mr. Howell being fourth, and Mr. Marshall fifth. 

 It is stated that Mr. Pillsbury intends shortly to give up 

 chess as a profession, but before doing so he contemplates 

 a tour in Europe next year and, if possible, a match with 

 Mr. Lasker, 



Mr. E. O. Jones, who has probably played in more 

 matches than any first-class player in England, has 

 recently defeated Mr. J. Mortiuier by 7 games to 4, with ' 

 1 game drawn, in spite of the fact that Mr. Mortimer won 

 the first 3 games. At Carlsbad those old opponents 

 Herren Albin and Marco are playing a series of ten match 

 games. 



The touring team of the Hastings and St. Leonards 

 Club succeeded iu winning all their seven matches in the 

 west of England and Ireland, the total score iu games 

 being 87 to 51. In 1903 they hope to go still further 

 afield if a tour among the German chess clubs can be 

 arraused.
