KNOWLEDGE. 



[June 1, 1895. 



CHESS INTELLIGENCE. 



The semi-final round in the Southern Counties competi- 

 tion has now been completed. On May 8th Sussex beat 

 Northamptonshire, without much difficulty, by ten games 

 to five. In the other division Gloucestershire played 

 Wiltshire ; the result depends on the adjudication of half 

 a dozen games, but it is practically certain that Gloucester- 

 shire will be left in to contest the final tie with Sussex in 

 -June. 



The correspondence match between Paris and St. 

 Petersburg resulted in a draw. Paris won the close game, 

 in which they had the move ; while St. Petersburg 

 succeeded in winning what should have been a drawn 

 ending, the result of an Evans Gambit. 



Mr. D. Y. Mills has again won the championship of 

 Scotland. It is stated that he intends to assist Gloucester- 

 shire in their match with Sussex this month. This 

 energy should be an example to the latter county. 



The award in the Cluss-^lonthUj Problem TournaHaent is 

 at length published. Of the English composers, Messrs. 

 B. G. Laws and G. Hume were the most successful, the 

 former winning the first prize in the four-move section, 

 and being placed in both the other direct-mate sections, 

 while Mr. Hume won the first prize both for three-move 

 and four-move sui-mates. 



Herr von Bardeleben, of Berlin, began a match of five 

 games up with Mr. Blackburne on April 25th at the British 

 Chess Club. Progress has been rather slow, and the 

 games of some length, the present score being Blackburne, 

 three; Bardeleben, two; drawn, two. The English player 

 is, perhaps, not equal to his opponent in book knowledge, 

 but atones for the deficiency by superior ingenuity and 

 unrivalled skill in the end-game. We give below the 

 opening game of the match. .The conductor of the Black 

 forces is easily recognized as Mr. Blackburne by the 

 unusually late development of the Queen's Bishop, and by 

 the playing of the King's Bishop to K2.
