XOTKS. 



(u) It is not a very easy thing to su|>]H>ri an opinion ba.sed npon 

 f^encral prineiples only ; this move ealls for an adverse criticism of 

 the same nature. It brings the position somewhat analogous to a 

 Philidor's defence, which, in itself, is weak. Black's King Bishop 

 is blocked in, and his game will soon assume a cramped a8|>ect. 



(fc) There is nothing to be gained by 5. B to QKtS, as Black will 

 reply with 5. B to Q2; bat by first exchanging Knights (to prevent 

 Kt to QKtii) and then playing 6. B to Q3, White creates a break in 

 Black's game, and furthers his own development. 



(<•) Tliis seems best for Black. 



(d) We think 8. P to Q4 would have given Black more freedom 

 of action if White replied with Kt to B3. Black would take the 

 Knight, or in reply to Q to B3 Black might have played Kt to K2. 



(«) Somewhat premature. 



(.0 12. P takes yP, followed after P takes P by 13. P takes 

 KtP was sound play. 



(j) BUick fell into the trap which White set, at some considerable 

 risk to his own game, for Black might have obtained a good game 

 by 12. P takes KP, followed by B takes BP. 



(h) This move gives White a superior game. Black cannot take 

 the piece, on account of B to B4eh winning the Queen. 



(i) If 17. Kt takes B, 18. Q takes Kt, R to B2, 19. Kt to K3, 

 R to Baq, 20. Kt to Bo with a good game. 



PosmoN ATTER Black's 18tii Move. 



White by thij sac-rificc brings alwut an interchting ending.
