GAME AT ODDS OF TWO KNIGHTS. 



Wo publish the following amusing game as a cnrious example oi 

 of odds giving. 



Remove the two White Knights. 



1. P to K4 P to K4 



2. P to Q4 P X P 



3. B to B4 B to B4 



4. P to QB3 P X P 



5. Castles PxP 



6. B X P Kt to KB3 



7. P to K5 P to Q4 



This move is often ])!ayed, but not when the B is on Kt2 ; ol 

 course, receiving the odds, Black ventured something to exchange 

 pieces. 



8. P X Kt P X B 



9. R to K sq. (ch) B to K.3 



10. P X P R to Kt sq. 



11. Q to R5 



AVhite threatens R x B, also Q x B and (.} x RP; the latter move 

 especially would be dangerous. 



BxP (ch) 



Black was bound to lose a piece. K to y2 would have been best, 

 but BxP looked feasible. 



12. K X B Q to Q7 (ch) 



13. K to Kt sq. 

 An artful move 



QxB 

 Besides this likely-looking move, Black could have played K to K2, 

 but White would maintain his attack. 



14. R X B (ch) K to Q sq. 



15. R to Q sq. (ch) K to B sq. 



It Kt to Q2 then R x Kt (ch), and mates in fonr moves.
