CHESS I NTELL IGENCE. 

 The annual amateur tournament at Craigside, Llan- 

 dudno, took place as usual during the first week in 

 January, with the following result: — 



First Prize ... A. Burn 9 



Second „ ... H. E. Atkins 7* 



^Third „ .. G. E. H. Bellingham) ^ 



■j Fourth „ ... G. A. Schott i " 



The other competitors were Messrs. Gunston, Owen, E. 



0. Jones, WUmot, Dawbarn, Wahltuch, Thrift, and Dod. 



Last year it will be remembered that Mr. Burn was also 



the winner ; Mr. Bellingham on that occasion was a good 



second, but seemed a little out of form during the present 



tournament. 



The match between Messrs. Janowski and Showalter 

 has been adjourned during the Christmas holidays and 

 now resumed. The present score is Janowski, 4 ; Sho- 

 walter, 2 ; 'drawn, 3. 



The match between Susses and Hants in the Southern 

 Counties Chess Union competition resulted in a draw, the 

 score being ten games to each side. 



The game below was played in the recent Craigside 

 Tourney. .. p^^^. jj^jgi^jg. Game."

Notes. 



(") Since the discovery of 7. 

 move has fallen into discredit. 



(1)) 8. Kt to Ksq is probably better. 



((•) Though this capture isolates Black's Queen's side 

 Pawns, he has ample compensation in the freedom of his 

 two Bishops and Rooks. 



((/) Black can apparently win a Pawn at once by BR3, 

 followed by B X Kt, but he is reluctant to part with his 

 most valuable Bishop for an inactive Knight. As it is, 

 White's position is already almost hopeless. 



(e) In order that the Rook may be defended after the 

 subsequent captures. 



(/) This is fatal. 24. Kt to B3 would prolong the game.
