CONCLTTSION OF SOLUTION TorRNET. 



The tie for first and second prizes between Messrs. Jay 

 and Johnston has been decided by means of the four-move 

 problem in the January number, and a special three-move 

 problem (with two solutions) sent to them by post. The 



result was that Mr. JoJinston sent both keys (B to Ksq 

 and B to H'.i) to tlie tlnve-niover, and three correct keys 

 (besides Kt to Ki(i, incorrect) to the four-mover, scorin;,' 

 therefore 15 — 2=13 points. Mr. Jay sent only B to R:} 

 (the cook) for the three-mover, and two keys (B to Bl 

 and R to K.5) for the four-mover, scoring 'J points. After an 

 exceedingly close strugi^de, Mr. Jolinston accordingly wins 

 the first prize of one guinea, Mr. Jay obtaining the second 

 prize, consisting of twelve months' subscription to Know- 

 LEUGE. Tlie award, as usual, remains open for one mouth. 



Owing to want of space, and the fact that details of the 

 Challenge Trophy have not yet reached me, the publication 

 of conditions of the ne.xt Solution Tourney is postpone<l 

 till ne.xt month. 



CHESS INTELLIGENCE. 



British Chens Magazine.— Three-move Problem Tourney. 

 Competitors are reminded that entries for this event, for 

 which valuable prizes have been presented by Sir J. O. S. 

 Thursby, close, for European competitors, on January 3Lst. 

 Entries, with motto, sealed name and address, etc., should 

 be sent to the Problem Editor, 21, Nelson Road, Stroud 

 Green, Loudon, N. Dr. C. Planck and Mr. C. D. Locoek 

 have been appointed judges. 



The Neu' Cfnt%iry Chess-Book (Sampson Low, Marston & 

 Co.) is the title of Mr. James Mortimer's supplementary 

 continuation of his well-known Chess Player's Pocket Book. 

 Its contents comprise all the most modern lines of play m 

 the various openings, special prominence being given to 

 the Rice Gambit, which has the distinction of being the 

 only opening in which a piece may be sacrificed early 

 without obtaining a demonstrably lost game. The price 

 of the book is Is., and there is no reason why it should 

 not become as popular as its predecessor. 



The '•Elsie" Chess-Board and Men (British Chess 

 Company. Stroud, Gloucester) is made in three sizes, 

 8x6, 9~ X 7, and lOj x 7| inches, the prices being 

 respectively 4s., 4s. 6d. and 5s. The board is of stout 

 varnished millboard, fixed into a covered cardboard box, 

 with holes for the pegged men, whether in play or 

 captured. The chess men are of wood and of a good 

 pattern. Altogether, this is certainly the simplest and 

 quite one of the best of in statu quo boards. 



The latest edition of Mr. Rhodes Marriott's Chess- 

 Players' .'Vote-Book (Sherratt tt Hughes. Manchester) is 

 certainly very cheap at Is. It contains 165 pages, bound 

 in cloth, every page being perforated for detachment. 

 Part I. consists of 20 diagrams, the reverse sides being 

 used for recording games or solutions. The bulk of the 

 remainder consists of game-recorders, with letter-forms to 

 Chess-Editors, a summary of the resnlts of games, and 

 space for newspaper cuttings. Mr. Edwyn Anthony's 

 Notes on the Opposition are also included.
