[August, 1902. 



n. lioycK. — In your claiins for duals in Nos. 8 and 9, 

 you have in each case a|>i>arently overlooked that the 

 Black KP <'an cover the final check. Tn reply to your 

 question about No. (?, after 1. Kt x ivt, 1' to K t4 ; 

 2. R X R, Black defends by 2. B x P. 



O. W. Middleton. — Tour claim for a dual after PxP 

 by 2. Kt to B7ch is incorrect. After 2. . . . K to Q3 

 there is uo mat.e. 



G. Woodcock. — Please see .above. As you £;ivo three 

 continuations after I. . . PxP and 1. . . B to Qtj, I 

 consider that you should score one point in each case for 

 the correct dual, and lose one point for those that are 

 incorrect This cancels your score as far as those two 

 variations are concerned. You score, of course, for the 

 dual after P to Kt4. 



B. Q. Lawg and Dr. HunL—Majij thanks for your help 

 in deciding the point referred to you. 



H. D'O Bernard. — Much regret your retirement for this 

 year. 



Composer of " Tiihhy." — I regret the slip in stating that 

 Castling was the key of your i^roblem. The move occurs 

 as a continuation on White's second move, and, as such, 

 is I think inadmissible in a tournament jiroblem. It may 

 be admissible for Black, the defender, but it is impossible 

 to prove that Wliite has not moved his Rook.

 JVo^e on Prohlem No. G. — Mr. B. G. Laws, to whom we 

 apjiealed on the fjuestion of dual short mates, gave as his 

 opinion that they could not score. As Dr. Hunt, whom 

 we asked for a final decision, was of the same opinion, 

 which we have no doubt is correct, the point added tem- 

 porarily ta Mr. Johnston's score must be deducted. The 

 following are therefore, at present, the seven leading 

 scores : — 



W. Jay ... 45 



W.Nash 42 



"Looker-on" ... 41 



C. Johnston ... 40

A return match by correspondence between the North 

 and South of England will begin on October 1st, and 

 conclude on June 1st The teams on this occasion will be 

 100 aside, instead of 50, as in the last match. Players 

 who wish to compete should write as soon as possible, if 

 eligible for the ^orth, to Mr I. M. Brown, Wellington 

 Place, Eccleshill, Bradford. If eligible for the South, to 

 Dr. Hunt, 93, Richmond Road. ^Dalston, N.E. The 

 qualifications are birth, or bond fide residence for the past 

 twelve months. There will be a time limit of 48 hours, 

 exclusive of Sundays and Bank Holidays. 



The International Tourney at Hanover is beginning as 

 we go to press. The comjietitors are limited to 18, and 

 an unusually strong entry is probable, though Messrs. 

 Lasker and Tarrasch will be absent. Herr Schlechter has 

 recently defeated M. Janowski rather easily in a match at 

 Cirlsbad.
