White (S). 



White mates in three moves. 



CHESS INTELLIGENCE. 



The Vienna tournament is now in full progress. The 

 most remarkable feature at present is the conspicuous 

 success of M. Alapin. At the conclusion of the tournament, 

 a match between two old opponents, Messrs. Showalter 

 and Max Judd, is probable. The latter was formerly a 

 resident in the United States, but now lives at Vienna. 



The Vienna Club have won one of their two corre- 

 spondence games with St. Petersburg, an Evans Gambit, 

 in which the brilliancy was on the side of the defence. 

 The other is adjourned till after the Vienna tournament. 



The Sussex championship has been won by Mr. 

 Shoosmith, of Brighton, who did not lose a game in the 

 contest. Mr. Reed, a former champion, was second. 



Game played in the Vienna tournament :—

Notes. 

 (») A bold course, but no harm seems to come of it. 

 (i) In order to avoid the exchange of Queens, but the 

 game should be drawn now. 



(c) Q to K3 or K to B2 are alternatives. The move 

 made weakens the Queen's side, a fact which Mr. PiUsbury 

 is not slow to perceive. 



(d) Q to K5 has some points. The move chosen gives 

 White a passed Pawn, and something else. 



((') There is no apparent objection to 20. R to QKt5 ; 

 21. Q X E, P X Q ; 22. Ex Qch, K x E. 



(/■) If22. ... BxB : 23. P to Q6, Q to B8 ; 24. Rx 

 B, etc. 



(g) A desperate attempt to get some attack : but his 

 opponent sees a little further than expected. 



{Ii ) This is fatal, but having regard to the dominant 

 position of the White Rook, there is really nothing to be 

 done. 



(i) Mate following in two more moves.
