 The Bishop blocks the way of th 

 Rook is undefended. 



Max Judge. — The King cannot move into check in the 

 position which you enclose, or under any circumstances. 

 It is true that the Pawn is pinned, but the Black King 

 would be taken first if, as you suggest, both jjlayers 

 iU'e breaking the intended rules. If Black is allowed to 

 move into check, White would be allowed to capture the 

 King even if he thereby exjioses his own King to the risk 

 of snbseqnenf capture. 



A. C. Waters. — See remarks on the problem abo\-e. 

 Seventeen seems a reasonable number of solutions in 

 three moves for a problem intended to be solved in two. 



W. I. M. — No doubt chess affords an excellent logical 

 training for the mind, but I should scarcely go so far as 

 to recommend it in preference to the study of ^Mill's 

 Logic.

CHESS INTELLIGENCE.

The International Tournament at Munich was brought 

 to a couclusiou with the following result : — 



H. N. PiUsbury 



C. SeWechter ... 



G. Maroczv 



A. Burn ... ... lil.V Fourth prize. 



Fifth prize. 



Sixth prize. 



Tie for seventh and eightli prize.s. 



in 



Tlie tie for the iirst three prizes has to be played off, 

 each player contesting two games against each of the 

 others. Pillsbury won the first game against Maroczy. 



An examination of the score sheet shows that most of 

 the prize-winners have come out in their correct places, 

 judging by their form in the recent Paris tournament. 

 Janowski has again come out lower than in previous years, 

 while V. Bardeleben is evidently no longer the fine player 

 he was when he held his own in tournaments against the 

 very best masters some years ago. His health has no 

 doubt broken down, and he has frequently retired before 

 the conclusion of recent tournaments. 



The Northern Counties Chess Union have challenged 

 the Southern Counties to a correspondence match 

 between teams of fifty aside, each pair to play two games 

 simultaneously. The challenge has been accepted, and 

 the match will begin early in October. Strong players 

 desirous of having their names placed before the Selection 

 Committee should write at once to Mr. T. M. Brown, 6, 

 Wellington Place, Eccleshill, Bradford (North), or Dr. 

 J. W. Hunt, 93, Richmond Road, Dalston, N.E. (South). 

 The cjualification is birth in one of the northern or southern 

 counties, or a hona firJe residence for the past twelve 

 months. 



The Chess Editor would be glad to receive some original 

 problems in two or three moves for publication in this 

 column. The talented composers who have contributed 

 in this way for some years past have in many cases failed 

 to send their customary problems this year. It is sincerely 

 hoped that the omission will shortly be supplied. 



The death is announced of William Steinitz, for many 

 years champion chess player of the world. We hope to 

 give a notice of his career next month.
