Notes. 



(n) B takes B is best. 



(6) A weakening move. P to Q4 is better. 



(i) The only way to get any advantage out oi the Giuoco 

 Piano is to Castle rapidly on the Queen's side, and follow 

 up with a King's side attack. 



(il) Further waste of time. Black should have antici- 

 pated the King's side attack with such moves as B takes 

 B, followed by Kt to Kt4. 



(e) Black does not make the best of a bad position. If 

 he wanted a counter-attack he should have played P to 

 QKt4, followed by P to QR3, obtaining open files for his 

 Rooks. The next move is meaningless. 



(/■) R to KKtl seldom turns out well ; it cramps the 

 King too much. 



(;/) White makes the most of his opportunities, and 

 deserves great credit for his spirited play. E to Kt2 would 

 have served here equally well. 



(/i) If Kt to Kt4, P to B6 follows. Q to Ql was a 

 better move than Q to Bl. 



(/) White obviously had this move in contemplation for 

 some time ; it clears the way for the better operation of 

 his Rooks. 



(A) Obviously if Knight play away, R takes Pch follows. 



(l) If K takes P, 27. E to Kt6, Q to Bl {as White 

 threatened mate by R takes Pch), 28. P to B6 wins. 



{»)) K takes P was not quite hopeless. 



(«) K takes P was a better move. For if then 29. R to 

 El, Q to Bl ; or if 29. P to B6, R takes P, giving up the 

 Queen for two Rooks. 



(o) Now he is hopeless and helpless. For if he plays K 

 takes P, P to B6, P takes P, R takes Pch, and mates next 

 move. 



NOTICE. 

 A correspondent residing in London is desirous of 

 playing one or two games by correspondence with a strong 

 player. We shall be happy to forward him the address of 

 any of our readers who may be willing to oppose him. 



CHESS INTELLIGENCE. 



On March 13th and 14th a match was played by 

 Atlantic cable between selected teams representing the 

 British Isles and the United States respectively. The 



contest was for a valuable silver trophy presented by Sir 

 (1. Newnes, Bart. Considerable care was taken in the 

 selection of the Ikitish team, a tournament being held 

 previously in order to decide one or two of the doubtful 

 places. In this tournament Messrs. Vj. 0. .Tones and 

 E. M. Jackson came out equal first, and failed to secure 

 any decisive result in playing off the tie. 



Mr. .Jones was eventually chosen, but owing to ill-health 

 his place was finally filled by Mr. Jackson, who by his 

 brilliant victory quite justified his inclusion. 



The ISritish team played at the Cannon Street Hotel, 

 the hours of play being from 3 to 7 and from 8 to 11.30 

 each day. At the end of the first day's play all the games 

 were adjourned, the positions on the whole being in favour 

 of Great Britain. On the following day the unexpected 

 happened ; Mr. Bird overlooked a simjile mate in two 

 moves, Mr. Mills unwisely consented to draw a game in 

 which he had winning chances, and Mr. Tinsley was out- 

 played in an even ending and finally lost. This was the 

 last game to be finished. 



The following is the score : —
