NOTES. 



(a) Kt X P is a perfectly legitimate contintiation, Black need not 

 be afraid of 4. B x P (ch), K x B. 5. Kt x Kt, P to Q4. 6. Q to 

 B3 (ch), K to Kt sq. 7. Kt to KtS, Q to Q2, and after a few 

 moves Black will obtain a good development. 



(b) A tempting but a less good move wonld be Kt x P. White 



wonld reply 8. B x B, Kt x P. 9. Q to K2, Kt x E. 10. Kt x B, 

 and White will remain with a good game. 



(c) White loses important time by this move. He ought to have 

 played Kt x B, which would have left him with two Bishops against 

 two Knights, with a good prospect for the End Game. 



((?) This move weakens White's game, as will be seen. He 

 might have played 15. B to B3 instead. As the QP could not 

 advance (the KP being attacked), and as further, Black, by a 

 timely exchange of Bishops, would force away the Q from Q sq. 

 (owing to the open E file), P to E3 created a weakness in White's 

 game. 



(e) If P X B, Black plays ExR. 



(/) This move gives Black the better game. 



(g) This forms an important part of Black's plan. If Black had 

 played Kt to B4 instead, then White could play P to Q4, which 

 might lead to a less decisive position than actually arrived at by 

 Black. 



(h) There is nothing better. 



(i) This move has an important bearing on the End Game, as it 

 forces the K to retire to Kt sq. 



(j) If 35. Q X Q, P X Q. 36. P to KKt4, Black wins by P to B4. 



(k) After Q to R5 (ch), K to B3, Black can easily get out of 

 check, while White's position would be weakened. 



Game played IGth inst. 



As a contrast to the heavy play of the above game, we give the 

 following lively partie, from which it will be seen that Mr. Mortimer 

 is still to the fore, as powerful and brilliant as ever.

XOTES. 



(a) An old defence. Either Kt to KB3 or B to Kt2 are prefer- 

 able. 



(b) We prefer 7. P to Q4, B x P (ch). 8. Kt to B2, &c. 

 ((■) This move gives Black a strong game. 



((?) Apparently in fear of R to Kt sq. 



(e) This loses. White would have done much better to take tha 

 B at once. 



(/) A move which finishes off the game in a pretty manner.
