KNOWLEDGE, 



[July, 1902. 



iiiiite on the second move should count as a dual con- 

 liinialioii. I am inclined to think that it should, but am 

 sulimittiniT the question to Mr. B. G. Laws. Should his 

 opiuion coincide with mine, Mr. Jolnistoii's score will 

 stand; otherwise a third and final arbitrator will decide 

 the point.] 



-4. F. I Kmihy). — As there is a mate i>n the move after 

 1. . . B to Q8, etc., duals resulting in mates on the third 

 move would not count. 



W. J. Land. — 1. Kt x Kt appears to be answered l>y 



1. . . P toKt4. 



H. Boi/ea. — See above. After 1. R x R, Kt x R ; 



2. B to Kt3, B X B, there is no mate. 



J. W. Dairsoii. — The rule printed in the A]iril number 

 reads: — "When a problem has more than one Icej. no 

 points will be given or deducted for claiming duals." The 

 reason is that when a problem is "(tooked," it is immaterial 

 to the judges whether its solutions contain duals or not. 

 Many of j'our claims for duals in No. 6 are incorrect, but 

 as most of them are for cases in which there is a short 

 mate, no points have l)een deducted for such claims. One 

 point, however, must be deducted for the claim of a dual 

 after 1. . . P x B. Neither 2. R x R, nor 2. P to B4ch, 

 will meet the case. 



Composer of " Tuhhy." — Tour ])roblem must be dis- 

 qualified. Castling as a key-move is not legitimate, as 

 there is no pi'oof that White has a legal right to castle.

White mates in three moves. 



After the very satisfactory entry for the Problem 

 Tourney, the number of competitors in the Solution 

 Tourney comes as a disappointment. We can only guess 

 that many of the readers of this page either found the 

 May problems exceptionally difficult, or decided that the 

 solving of three three-move problems a month was too 

 much for them. I cannot alter the number at present, 

 but after the end of the year, and in future solution 

 tourneys, the number of three-move problems will be 



diminished. 



SPECIAL NOTICE. 



All claims for incorrect scoring of points must be sent 

 in within ten days of the first day of the month of 

 publication. After that date solutions will be desti'oyed, 

 and claims for altered scores cannot be considered. 



CHESS ESTTELLIGENCE. 



Mr. F. J. Marshall, the well-known American expert, 

 has defeated, in short matches, two of our strongest 

 amateurs. Mr. R. Lomau lost by four games to two, and 

 Mr. W. Ward by the same majority. Mr. Ward was the 

 winner this year of the City of London Club Championshi]i. 

 Mr. T. F. "Lawrence being second, and Messrs. T. B. 

 Girdlestone and H. W. Trenchard bracketed third and 

 fourth. 



A correspondence match between Yorkshire and Kent, 

 with .^0 players a side, resulted in a win for Yorkshire bv 

 28^ to 21|. At board No. 1, Mr. G. A. Sch,.tt, of 

 Bradford, won a brilliant game against Mr. O. C. Muller. 



The Open Amateur Tournament of the Kent County 

 Association i-esulted as follows : — Firet prize, R. Loman, 

 7 ; second, O. C. Muller, 6 ; equal third, fourth and fifth, 

 R. P. Michell, G. A.Thomas and G E. Waiuwright. 5i. 

 There were five other com]ietitors.
