Referring to the game on p. 70, and further i-enmrks on p. 302, I 

 am not quite sure that 20. B to QR3 would result in a draw, as my 

 analvsis, if sound, will show. Kxi-kuto Cbede. 



20. B to R3 



21. Kt to B7(ch) 21. K to Qsq 



22. Kt takes B 



f Experto Credo now proceeds to sliow in an interesting manner 

 that to any of Black's replies, such as 22. Kt takes Kt, or K to K sq, 

 or (J to Bli, or Kt to K2, or B to B7, B5, or Kt G, White has a win- 

 ning rejoinder. But all these numerous rci»lies do not include thi< 

 right one, which is — 



22. Q lakes P 



If 23. B to B7(ch) 23. K to K sq 

 24. Kt to t^r>(ch) 24. K to H sq 

 Now the Queen on R7, by defending the Hlnek KBP, prevents the 

 mate, and White must therefore bo content with allowing Black Id 

 draw after Q takes R by Q takes BP(cli), as indicated on p. 302.—

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 

 •«• Fltase addrefs Chess Editor, 



John Simpson. — W^e have no liesitation in pronouncing your 

 Problem to be a very fine comjtosition, in which 0]>inion wo hope 

 our readers will join. 



Squire.— 1. The fact of King having first move is not a detrac- 

 tion from tho morits of a Problem. The action of the King 

 being very limited, it is less likely tliat the idea will bo discovered 

 than if the first move has to be made by tho Queen, as this lady is 

 always first suspected with having evil designs on tho hostile King, 

 on account of her command of tho board. 



J. B. B. — Thanks for Problem, which, howovor, is too simple. 



W. Mead, F. J. C, and Berrow. — Problems incorrect. 



J. A. Miles. — Problems thankfully received. Wo mistook 

 Eichhardt for " Eichstadt." Could you send us his four-mover, 

 jmiised by Staunton, wherein a mate is obtained with Knight, 

 after sacrifice of Queen ? Wo should bo iiiucli obliged for your 

 kindness. 



I. O. U. — Tliero is an Elementary book of Problems by J. P. 

 Taylor which contains fifty two-movers. You can got it at 

 Morgan's. 



P. P. — It is found by experience that the study of Problems does 

 not much improve chess play, but it nfTords great pleasure. To 

 play over games comprehensively annotated is more likely to im- 

 prove play. You should try a little of both.
