PROBLEM NO. 53. 

 }y Leonard P. lUi:-;. 



White to play and mate in three moves. 



NOTES. 



(n) No imprr»vement on 3 B to Q3. 



(t) This is entirely asclcsi. The Kivine of the KBP censes to 

 )ic of special value if no attack is directed on the exposed side of 

 the King hy means of B to Q3, with u view to Q to it5. Besides, 

 there is no parposo in this move. 



(e) Black has soon (fot over his disadvantage, and Wliite mast 

 now proceed on a very shalkyw cnrrcnt. 



(d) Black seizes a fuvourablc opportunity to attack the weuk 

 part in White's panic, and the udvunco of this I'uwn ia the 

 beginning of some very line play. 



(e) H B to H2 would not have a much better rcsnlt, as Black 

 would also proceed with Kt takes U, and P takes P, and B to B4, 

 &c. 



(/) White wanted to save this Pawn, whereby he lost valuable 

 time, llis position, however, was very weak, and it would have 

 been of far more importance to him to abandon this Pawn and play 

 Kt to U3, with a view of playing it to QB2. 



(;;) A very fine combination, which wins by force. 



(h) This move facilitates victory. Had White played 20 Q to 

 Kt3, then B takes Kt (eh), followed by B takes R, and Black would 

 still win by being a piece ahead. 



ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Leonard P. Rees. — G. Q takes KtP must result to White's ad- 

 vantaj^o. (>. Kt takes BP would be more attacking, but less safe.

A MKHAi, and prize, of the annual value of 20 guineas, has been 

 founded by Charles William Siemens, D.C.L., P.R.S., "with the 

 object of stimulating the Students of King's College, London, to a 

 high standard of proficiency in metallurgical science." It is open 

 to those who have, as matriculated students, studied in the Applied 

 Science Department for two years, and who, either in their third 

 year, or, if they remain in the Department for three years, in the 

 succeeding year make metallurgy a special study. The first award 

 will be made at the end of Juno, 1883, and will depend partly on 

 an essay on some particular subject, partly on a written examina- 

 tion on the metallurgical lectures, and partly on actual work done 

 in the laboratory. The subject for the essay for 1883 will be, 

 "The Manufacture of Steel suitable for Ship and Boiler Plates." 

 The essays are to be illustrated by freehand sketches and 

 mechanical drawings to scale, and must be sent in to Professor 

 Uuntington on or before June 30.
