KNOWLEDGE, 



[October, 1902. 



No. 14. 

 Key-move. — 1. Q to KB8. 



There appears to be no solution, the author's intention 

 (1. Q to QKtS) being defeated by 1. ... P to QKt8. 



Solutions received from \V. Nash, .5, 4, 4 ; Alpha, 

 0. 4, ; W. Jay. 5, 4, 4 ; G. Woodcock, 4, 4, 0; G. W. 

 Middleton, 5, 0, ; W. de V. Crousaz, 0, 4, 0; "Tanien," 

 4,0, ; C. Johnston, 0, 4, 4; " Looker-on," 5, 4, 4 ; J. W. 

 Dawson, 3, 4, 4. 



Tameti. — As you say, your solution of No. 14 was just 

 too late to score. 



G. Woodcock and Alpha. — In No. 15,1. Q x P is met 

 by 1. ... R to Q4. 



Note. — Failure in the case of No. 15 is no disqualification 

 for taking part in the judging of the sound problems. 

 Nevertheless I expect to extend the list to those who fail 

 not more than twice in the case of sound problems.

CHESS INTELLIGENCE. 



The Newnes Challenge Cup, which carries with it the 

 Amateur Championship of the long defunct British Chess 

 Association, was competed for at the Southern Counties' 

 Tournament, held at Norwich last month. Mr. H. E. 

 Atkins, who has held the cup for some years, did not 

 defend his title, and the winner proved to be Mr. R. P. 

 Michell, the well-known London amateur. The other 

 competitors included Dr. Dunstan, and Messrs. Blake, 

 Jacobs, Mortimer, Sherrard, AVainwright, F. Brown, 

 Loman, and E. F. B. Jones. 



The final tie for the Championship of the S. C. C. U. 

 resulted in a fiasco, Gloucestershire, who were looked iipon 

 as almost certain winners, after the defeat of Surrey, 

 being unable to raise a team during the holiday season. 

 The result was that Norfolk, the winners of the North- 

 Eastern Section, became the Champion County. 



The death is announced of Mr. E. B. Schwann, the well- 

 known player and problem-composer. Mr. Schwann was 

 acting as Hon. Sec. to the delegates of the counties who 

 were recently attempting the formation of a National 

 Chess Federation. 



Owing to the postponement of the World's Fair, the 

 Seventh American Chess Congress, which was to have 

 been held next year, has been put off till 1904.
