Notes. 



((() A move which has grown in favour of late years. 

 The old continuation was 7. Q to Q2, P to QR3 ; 8. Kt to 

 Qsq, in order to be able to meet 8 ... P to QB4 by 9. 

 P to QB3, the Knight ultimately finding a good square at 

 K3. 



(/() 7. . . . Kt to KBsq is the usual and better move. 



((■) For now White should gain some advantage by 

 8. Q to KKt4. The omission of this move has been 

 frequently noticed in this column. When possible it is 

 nearly always a formidable move. In the present instance, 

 if met by 8. . . . Castles, 9. B to Q3 would give White 

 some attack ; while 8. ... P to KKt3, 9. P to KR4 (!), 

 would be good for White. 



('/) The previous three moves on each side form the 

 usual stereotyped procedure ; here it is customary to play 

 11. . . . P to QKt4, followed perhaps by Q to Kt3, 

 thereby maintaining the pressure on the White QP. 



{(■) Owing to his omission on the eighth move, White's 

 game is now rather cramped. If he play 13. P to QR4, 

 Black might simply take the P, in order to attack subse- 

 quently the weakened QKtP. 



(/) It was not necessary to commit himself by castling 

 yet, as the King's Rook cannot bo utilized at present. 

 14. ... P to Kt5 seems preferable. 



((/) Obviously if 16. P to B5, KKt xP. Hence Black's 

 last move — and his nest. White's next move is with a 

 view to B to B2 and ultimately P to KKt4. 



(/i) White could not allow P to E6. Black's reply is 

 very weak. 19. . . . P to Kt6 would be both immediately 

 cramping and likely lo prove useful in an end-game. 

 With the White King out of reach there would be the 

 chance of sacrificing a piece for the QBP or QRP in order 

 to Queen the advanced KtP. As it is. White has his 

 Bishop left on an attacking square, and speedily gets the 

 belter of the game. 



(j) Apparently best. 23. . . . Kt to Qsq would give 

 White too many sacrificial opportunities shortly. On his 

 next move R to R2 seems more to the point. 



(./) Finely played. He cleverly renders Black's (,)R 

 inactive before proceeding to demolish him. 



(If) There seems to be no defence. If, for instance, 

 30. K to Ktsq, R x RP wins. 



(l) Prettily played. If now 31. . . . RxQ, 82. Kt to 

 B6ch leads to a speedy mate, or if 31. . . . RxKt, 

 32. R X Rch, K X R ; Q to Kt6oh, etc. M. Jauowsky 

 played the ending with his customary vigour. 



CHESS INTELLIGENCE. 



The International Tournament of the German Chess 

 Association, held this year at Leipsic, was brought to a 

 conclusion on September 15th. The result was a victor}- 

 for Dr. Tarrasch, who thus won his fourth consecutive 

 International Tourney, but this time only by the narrow 

 majority of half a point. He lost games to Blackburne, 

 to Mieses, through a blunder, and, apparently, also to 

 Lipke in the last round. The prize-wmners were : — 1. 

 Tarrasch (Niiremburg), 13i ; 2. Lipke (Berlin), 13; 3. 

 Teichmann (London), 12^; 4. Blackburne (London) and 

 Walbrodt (Berlin), Hi ; 6. Marco (Vienna) and Janowsky 

 (Paris), lOi. The remaining competitors came out in the 

 following order; — Berger, Shiffers, Schlechter, Mieses, 

 Baird, Siichting, Zinkl, Weydlich, Mason, Seuft'ert and 

 V. Scheve (retired). Mr. Mason's performance is most 

 disappointing. On the other hand, Mr. Blackburne 

 played well after a bad start, while M. Teichmann by his 

 excellent performance showed that his two consecutive 

 victories in the Divan Tournaments represent his true 

 form. In the absence of Lasker, Tschigorin, Gunsberg, 

 Bardeleben, Makovez, Winawer and others, the com- 

 petitors cannot, of course, be regarded as representative 

 of the cbess talent of Europe. Still, the winner has 

 maintained his reputation, and Lipke, Teichmann and 

 Janowsky have certainly increased theirs. As at Dresden, 

 Walbrodt and Marco were extremely difficult to beat, 

 while Berger was as usual generally both willing and able 

 to draw.
