Notes. 



S3. Black resigns. 



B to Kt5, but chosen 



(o) Admittedly inferior to 4. . 

 probably as being less drawish. 



(/«) Superior to 7. KtxKt, QP x Kt, 8. B to 154, as 

 played by Paulsen against Morphy. 7. Kt to Q3 is also 

 worth considering. 



(f) 9. . . . B to Bsq is clearly better, having regard to 

 White's nest move. 



(</) As pointed out by Mr. Ranken, 11. . . . P to QB3 

 is much superior. Certainly on his next move he should 

 play ... P to QKt4, followed by P to Q3. Allowing the 

 Pawn to advance to QC is fatal. 



((') Obviously he cannot play 15. ... P to QB4 on 

 account of the reply, IG. Q to Q5. 15. . . . P to R3 is 

 also very dangerous. 



(/) Very well played, preventing P to B4 for a time. 



(g) 21. ... E to QBsq would be useless on account 

 of 22. Q to Kt7, followed by Q x P. 



(Ii) But now probably 22. R to Bsq is as good as any- 

 thing under the circumstances. 



(i) Having two Rooks and only one Knight, he prefers 

 in such a position to keep the Knight. 



(j) If the Queen moves, then 25. Kt to BOch wins. 



(A) Inferior to 26. Kt to B6ch. PossiDl ilerr Maroczy 



was enjoying the game and did not wish to bring it to a 

 too rapid conclusion, lie threatens now Kt to QG. 



(/) He cannot play the other Rook to Ksq, because of 

 B to Q8. 



(ill) If 31. . . . Q to KtS, 32. QxQ, PxQ, 33. Kt 

 to QG wins. 



The whole game is very finely played by Herr Maroczy. 

 Mr. Pillsbury's play at the start was very weak, and he 

 never had time to recover from its elTects. 



CHESS INTELLIGENCE. 



It is stated that an International Tournament will bo 

 held at ]!uda-Pesth in the autumn ; another at ]5erlin is 

 projected for 1898. Between the two events a contest in 

 Russia may be expected. 



A match between Herr Lipke and Professor Berger, 

 played under the auspices of the tlerman Chess Association, 

 has ended in a draw. 



The tournament of the New York State Chess Association 

 has been won by S. Lipschiitz, who scored 5J games out of 

 a possible G. 



The return match between Lasker and Steinitz is due 

 to begin this month. 



The Amateur Tournament at Clifton was won by Mr. 

 H. E. Atkins, with the fine score of 8^ out of 9. Mr. J. 

 H. Blake was second with 7i.
