Notes. 



(a) 11. B to Q3 is the accepted continuation here. It 

 is less probable that Mr. Moriau was ignorant of the 

 dangers attending this capture than that he fancied or 

 hoped that his opponent might be in that blissful state. 



(b) The books give 12. B to Q4, with a similar con- 

 tinuation, the Black Knight ultimately going to KR5. 



(c) Clearly 15. KxR, Q to Kt5ch leads to a speedy 

 mate. 



(rf) Or 16. B X Kt, B to Kt5 ; better than 16. . . QxKt, 

 17. Q to B3. 



(f) A grave mistake. 17. Q to R4ch was much better. 



( /) For now Black might have won the Queen at once 

 by 17. . . RxRPch. 



(g) As the previous note still applies, the only chance 

 now was 18. Q to Kt5ch, K to Bsq ; 19. Q to Kt3. 



(h) Now there is nothing left ; for if 19. Q to KtSch, 

 P to B3, followed by R x Pch. White's defence throughout 

 was too difScult for the simultaneous player, to whom an 

 attacking game is always more suitable. 



We have received for review a copy of the Games of the 

 Steinitz-Lasker Championship Match, edited by Mr. 

 J. G. Cunningham. The book, which may be obtained 

 from 19, Bagby Street, Leeds, for Is. 6d., is a paper 

 pamphlei of 80 pages, resembling, externally, a double 

 number of the British Chess Magazine. The contents 

 consist of the biographies and performances of the two 

 players, short accounts of their predecessors, a description 

 of the match, and the nineteen games played in it, with 

 copious notes quoted from various authoritative sources. 

 The same move is frequently annotated by two or more 

 able analysts, the result being at times strangely con- 

 tradictory. The misprints of daily journalism, such as 

 "constellation" for "continuation," are inserted without 



correction. But these do not in any way detract from the 

 value of the book as a permanent record of the most 

 important match played in this generation. 



CHESS INTELLIGENCE. 



Messrs. Blackburne, Mason, and Teichmann are spoken 

 of as probable competitors in the International Tournament 

 at Leipsic. Messrs. Loman, Trenchard, and E. 0. Jones 

 are likely to take part in the minor tournament. 



A match will shortly take place at the Manhattan Chess 

 Club between Herr Albin, formerly of A'ienna, and N. 

 Jasnagrodsky, well known in England a few years ago. 

 Both players seem to have made the United States their 

 permanent abode. 



The correspondence games between Mr. Steiuitz and 

 the Liverpool Chess Club have been resumed. A corre- 

 spondence match is also in progress between Paris and St. 

 Petersburg. M. Rosenthal is a notable absentee from the 

 Parisian Committee. 



A match has just been concluded at Nuremburg between 

 Dr. Tarrasch, of that city, and Herr C. A. Walbrodt, of 

 Berlin. The result was a. most decisive victory for Dr. 

 Tarrasch by seven games to none, with only one game 

 drawn. This is certainly a most disappointing performance 

 on the part of the man who did not lose a single game in 

 the Dresden International Tourney, and was thought to 

 have improved since then. Certainly his supporters must 

 have been surprised at his inability to draw more than a 

 single game against his opponent, though the latter played 

 in fine style throughout. A notable feature of the match 

 was the absence of any time limit.
