Notes. 

 (a) The objection to this otherwise strong move is that 

 it leaves the Queen's side very weak. Black should not 

 reply 7. ... P to KKtS, because of 8. P to KE4. 



(*) Again best. If 8, ... P to QB4, 9. Q to E3 !, 

 P to KKt8, 10. PxP, followed by P to KB4. 



(c) Usual in similar positions, but the safer course 

 perhaps is 9. Q to K2, P to B4 ; 10. PxP, QKt to B8 ; 

 11. Kt to B3 (best), B x P ; 12. Castles (KE), &c. ; 9. Q 

 to Kt3 also has points. 



(rf) For now we think that 11. ... Q to E4 should give 

 Black the advantage. Next move is too late. 



(«) He would do better by 15. . . . Kt to Kt5, 16. Kt 

 to Bsq, B to Q2. 



(/) 18. ... P to KE3, 19. PxP; PxP seems better. 

 Of course he could not take the Knight at once. 



(g) This shuts out the Book, but he cannot play 

 20. ... Q to B2 on account of the check with the Queen. 



(A) 21. ... P to E4 is no good. 

 Kt to Kt3 and take the Pawn. 



White would reply 



((■) The game is now hopeless ; he gets no time for 

 ... B to K3, which he seems to intend. 



(j) After 23. ... B to K3, 24. P xP, Q xPch ; 25. K 

 to Bsq, Q to E8ch ; 26. K to Q2, B to Kt5ch ; 27. Kt to 

 B8 (!), Black's game is lost. 



{k) He should have avoided going to this file. - 



(/) Clearly K x P loses a piece. If B x P, White gains 

 time by KtxP, for if then 34. . . . BxKt, 85. B to Bsq. 

 Dr. Tarrasch conducted the whole game with great vigour. 

 Herr Walbrodt missed his chance on the eleventh move, 

 and gradually drifted into a hopeless position. 



CHESS INTELLIGENCE. 



Herr Mieses, of Dresden, is playing a match at Paris 

 with M. -Janowsky, of that city. The present score is 

 Janowsky, 8 ; Mieses, 2 ; drawn, 1. 



The now annual Christmas tournament at Craigside, 

 Llandudno, took place the week after Christmas. In the 

 principal cup competition there were seven players, Mr. 

 Herbert Jacobs, of London, coming out first, with the fine 

 score of six wins ; Eev. J. Owen, and Mr. W. H. Gunston, 

 of Cambridge, tied for second place with a score of 4 ; 

 Mr. Porterfield Eynd, the Irish champion, who had won 

 the cup on the two previous occasions, was not placed this 

 time. 



The result of the adjudication on the Surrey c Sussex 

 match was an even score. Should both counties win their 

 remaining matches in the S.E. district, the match will 

 have to be replayed. 



The Hastings Chess Festival took place on January 

 17th, 18th, and 19th. The programme, as usual, con- 

 sisted of simultaneous exhibitions and consultation games. 

 This year a blindfold exhibition by Mr. Blackburne was 

 added to the programme. The results will be given next 

 month. 



It is said that Herr C. von Bardeleben, of Berlin, will 

 shortly play matches with Mr. Blackburne at Hastings, 

 and with Mons. Tschigorin at St. Petersburg. 



Negotiations are in progress for a cable match between 

 the Manhattan Club, New York, and the British Chess 

 Club, London. The number of players a side is not yet 

 settled, the London club preferring a larger number than 

 the five proposed by New York. The match will probably 

 take place in February, and will be played at one sitting 

 with a time-limit of twenty moves an hour.
