Erratum.—Our Diagram of this position is an exact transcript of that sent
to us from India; but subsequent examination of the Problem with its Solution
shows clearly that the White Bishop, instead of being placed on K. Kt. seventh,
mnst stand at White's Q. Kt. second. The reader is therefore requested to
make such correction before attempting to solve the Problem.

Notes to Game DCCCLIV.

(a) The terrible check of the Kt. at K. B.'s sixth prevented his taking
the Bishop.
(6) This game is of the description known as " skittling " among pro
ficients. In steady play, Black would never have omitted the opportunity
of gaining the Q. which Kt. to K. seventh (check) gives.
(c) Kt. to K. seventh (check)—then Q. takes Q.,, followed by B. takes
R., would have been stronger surely.

Notes to Game DCCCLX1.

(a) To enable him to play his Q.. Kt. without losing the Kt. P.
(6) The attack up to this point is sustained with a good deal of tact ;
and with careful play subsequently ought to have won. But White taking
advantage of one or two feeble moves, becomes himself the assailant pre
sently, and carries off the game in fine style.
(e) If he had taken the B., White would have won the Kt. in return.

(a) This move loses a Pawn at least.
(6) Black evidently wins the Q. if she takes the B.
(c) Q. to her R. fourth would have presently won a piece.
(d) By taking the Bishop with K. R., Black must have gained a piece.

Notes to Game DCCCLXIII.

(a) The game is here very well played by White.
(6) An excellent move.
(c) We should have played K.'s Pawn one square. Black, as his best
move we believe, would have taken the Kt. ; upon which, these moves are
probable i—
Q. to her sixth (check)
K. to his square Q. takes Q. B. P. (check)

another lapse by which the second player contrived to lose his
Bishop, it was finally abandoned as a drawn battle.
Notes to Game DCCCLXIV.

(a) Part of this game is very well played by Captain Kennedy.
(b) A good move.
(c) The Queen dared not take the B. P. on account of Black's re
joinder, " Kt. takes K. 15. P. (check).
(d) Q, to K. B. third, followed by R. to K. square, upon White's
playing his B. to Q,. second, would have given Black an irresistible posi
tion.
(e) Instead of this utterly useless move, he had simply to play R. to K.
square, and the game must have been decided in a few moves.

in giving it up at once, and making an effort to bring the remainder of his
forces into action.

Notes to Game DCCCLXVII.
(a) " B. takes K. B. P. (check)," followed by Q. takes B., would have
been at least as good play.
(6) A very good move.
(c) The situation is somewhat remarkable here. From a superficial
view of the pieces, Black would seem to have an easy game before him by
simply taking the Kt. ; then exchanging Queens, and afterwards capturing
the Q. Kt. P. Looking a little deeper, however, we find that this mode of
play, promising as it appears, would lose Black the game in a few moves;
and that he had actually no other method of saving it than by the line of
play adopted : let us suppose,—
29. Q. takes Kt.
30. Q.. takes Kt. 30. Q. takes Q.
31. K. takes Q. 31. R. takes Q. Kt, P.
32. K. P. one
And White wins easily.
(d) Had he taken with the P. his Q. was lost.
(e) By going to Kt. third, White might have drawn the game.

Notes to Game DCCCXLVIII.

(a) This prevents the advance of Black's K. Kt. P., and the move of Kt.
to K. B. fourth.
(6) Threatening to win by playing Q. Kt. to R. fifth, next move,
(c) The only move to avoid the danger.
(rf) K. B. P. appears goo.l play, but it would give Black an opportunity
of taking the Q. 1\ with his Kt. safely. White retired the Kt. for the
purpose of moving it to Kt. fifth.
(e) This move Black kept in reserve for the proper moment, and it now
utterly disconcerts the very formidable attack which White has kept up.
Kt. to his fifth would now be a bad move for White to make.
(y*) Had he taken with the Bishop, White would have won a piece; if
with the Kt., White must have gained a fine position by playing K. Kt. to
his fifth.
(o) If instead of this play he had moved Q. Kt. to K. B. fourth, the fol
lowing moves will show that Black could not in that case have taken Q. P.
with his Kt., but must have moved the Q. to K. square, or K. B. second
again,—for suppose
22. Q. Kt. to K. B. fourth 22. Kt. takes Q. P.
23. Q. Kt. to K. Kt. sixth 23. Kt. takes K. Kt (check)
24. Q. takes Kt.
Winning " the exchange.'
(Ji) There is no way, we believe, to save the Pawn,
(t) He would have lost a piece by taking the Q. Kt. P.
(A) K. Kt, P. one would have been better, but the game seem sirre-
trievable.

Notes to Game DCCCLIV.

(o) The opening is played on both sides wilh great skill and prudence.
White threatens on his next move to win the adverse Q, by p. sting this Kt.
at K. B. fourth.
(J) The position of this Bishop adds greatly to the strength of White's
game, and he does wisely in not exchanging it (or the adverse Hook.
(c) But why not to Q.'s fifth? That at least would draw the game.
(d) This is not so strong as Q. to K. Kt. sixth (check), in which case
Black must lose his Queen, or be muted in three moves.

(o) In the King's Gambit, as we have seen, the Gambit Pawn may be

to preserve this Pawn, as the following games will prove.

(6) In defending this Gambit it is always advisable to push the King's
Pawn two squares. If the first player take the Pawn, Black changes Queens,
and compels the adversary to move his King, and if he docs not take the
Pawn, the advantage is on the side of the second player, as is seen in this
and the following games.

*»* In this situation, although Black is minus a Pawn, he has a good
frame, from having two passed Pawns, while one of yours is isolate d and
difficult to defend.
(a) You advanced this Pawn one square only in the preceding games, to
take advantage of the adversary's fault in supporting the Gambit Pawn.
(&) If you take the Gambit Pawn, Black may capture the Queen's Pawn
with his Queen, gaining a Pawn and a fine position.
(c) Black cannot take the P., or push Q. B. P. one, for fear of white
taking his Q. Kt. P. with a ruinous check.

4) K. B. P. two would also be good play.
c) This is badly played. He should castle instead.—see variation.
(d) Better than taking the B. with the Pawn.

each side, this party ranks in the class of ordinary g.imcs, which, cateris
paribus, ought to be drawn.

Notes to Game I V.
By " Shagird.1'
(«) A lost move ; K. B. P. two would have been perhaps better.
(i>) K. to H. square would possibly be safer.
(c) We think that he might have checked with Q. at Q. third with safety,
attacking the undefended Kt., in spite of the threatened attack on his
K. Kt. P.
(d) B. takes K., Kt. P., or K. B. P. one might have led to a brilliant
result, but would have been attended with risk.
(e) We think that the Kt. should have been played to Q. B. fourth, but
cannot pronounce positively on its merits.
(/) Q. to its own square would have been preferable.
(g) This is rather a critical position; we do not see he could have played
better.

THE GUESS PLAVEIl's CHRONICLE. 31
CORRESPONDENCE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE 'CHESS PLAYER'S CHRONICLE.'

Manchester, Dec. 9, 18-16.
Mr Editor,
I send you herewith what I believe to be the correct analysis of the very
remarkable position in a game between Messrs Staunton and Williams,
page 375, ' Chess Player's Chronicle.*
In the first place—
After White's 45th move-f Black wins by playing K. to R. third, for he
mates either in one move with Kook or in two moves with Knight's Pawn.
SupposeWhite Queens his Pawn, you check with Rook, at R. seventh, and
then mate with Pawn.
In the second place—
White must have won the game if, on his 45th move, he had interposed
Rook instead of moving King, as I think the following analysis will prove.
Suppose—
White. Blade.
45. R. interposes (If you play R. K. 7lh, he wins by
playing K. to K. B. third. Ifyoutakc
R. with B., he does not retake, but
moves K. to K. B. third, and you
cannot save the game. Suppose —)
45. It. to Q. R. sixth (check)
(If you chock with B., he takes
with R tc refore)
46. K. to B second 46. B. to R. seventh (check)
47. K to B. square 47. R. to It. eighth (check)
48. K. to K. second 43. R. to R. seventh (check)
49. K. to Q. third
And wins.
By simply keeping his King on a white square, so as to avoid a check
from Bishop, in case you play H. to K. seventh, he must win the game.
As I am but a very moderate player, I send this analysis with some hesi
tation. The conception of Mr Staunton, though unsound, is certainly a fine
one, and I presume that, in actual play, there is hardly one player in twenty,
even among strong ones, who would not, under the circumstances, have
moved the King, as Mr Williams did.
An interesting position occurred to me in actual play at Ries's Divan,
a few weeks since. The pieces were arranged thus—
White. (Philo-Chess.) Black.
K. at Q. sixth K. at K. Kt. fourth
R. at K. R. seventh R. at Q. II. second
P. at K. Kt. seventh
* The following is the position referred to—
White, Black.
K. at his Kt. third K. at his Kt. second
R. at K. B. third R. at Q. R. seventh
B. at Q. fifth B. at K. fourth
Pawns at K. seventh and Q. B. P.'s at K. R. fourth
fourth K. Kt. third and Q. B. fourth
f K. to his R. fourth.
32 THE CHESS PLAYER'S CHRONICLB.
Black had the move, and checked at Q. R. third. Now, if White make an y
other move than K. to Q. fifth, Black can draw the game. If White play
K. to Q,. B. seventh, Black plays R. to K. Kt. third, and White cannot
save the Fawn. If White play K. to Q. seventh or K. seventh, Black checks
at It. second, and should King then go to the eighth rank, he repeats the
check at Q. R. square, and will draw either by perpetual check, or by play
ing B. to K. Kt. square, depending upon the position of White's King.
If, again, in the above position, after the check of Rook, White play K. to
K. fifth, Black evidently draws by placing R. at K. Kt. third.
Suppose, however, White play K. to Q. fifth, he then forces the game
thus—
White. Black.
K. to Q. fifth (It is useless to check at Q. R.
fourth, as White will retreat K. to
Q. B. fourth. If Black again play
R. to Q. R. square, White answers
with R. to K. R. eighth. He ap
pears to have no better move than)
R. to K. Kt. third
K. to K. fifth K. to Kt. fifth
II. to K. R. square (this is the move
which makes the position inte
resting) K. to K. B. sixth (a) (4)
R. to K. B. (check) K. to K. Kt. seventh, or K. seventh
R. to K. B. seventh
And wins by afterwards playing K. to K. B. fifth, should Black move his
King ; or K. to K. B. sixth, shuuld Black move his Rook.
(a) R. to R. Kt. fourth (check)
K. to K. B. sixth (and forces the
game)
(4) K. to Kt. fourth
R. to K. Kt. square (check) then
captures Rook and Queen's Pawn
I send this position, not because I deem it worthy of a place in your
* Chronicle,' but because it is a good example to show how careful a player
should be at the close of a game when he has the advantage ofa Pawn, but
the disadvantage of a rather restrained position.
Philo-Chess, of New York.
The creat Chess Match in America tor 300/.—We are in daily ex

pectation of receiving the opening games of this interesting contest, which
was to be commenced on the 1st of December. 1 he terms of play pro
vide that the first winner of fifteen games shall be entitled to the stakes ;
and as the players are considered to be very equally matched in point of
skill, there is every probability of the struggle being a long one. In such
an encounter there are sure to be many drawn games, and we expect
altogether that at least thirty games will be played before the palm of
victory is adjudged. Immediately upon the termination of the match Mr
Stanley returns to New York, from whence again in a few days he departs
to take the field at Liverpool against the leading player there.

44 THE CHESS PLAYER'S CHUONICLE.
Notes to Game 881.
(a) He appears to have had no better move than in this way to ex
change his Queen for three minor pieces, as it is obvious, if the Bishop
were removed, Black wins the Queen.
(6) It would have been better play to have taken with the K. Rook.
(e) The entrapping of the Queen is very adroitly contrived.

Notes to Game 882.
(a) White's efforts to save his Queen give rise to many highly ingenious
devices on both sides—not among the least happy of which is this move .
of his adversary.
(6) Well played.
(c) This is an extremely entertaining game, full of sparkle and variety,
and finished off with the hand of a master.

4G THE CHESS PLAYER'S CHRONICLE.
Notes to Game 883.
(a) He should have played Q. R. P. two. To save the piece, Black
must have played his Q. R. P. also, upon which by taking the B. checking,
and then playing Q, to her R. sixth (checking) White would have an easy
game.
(6) Kt. to K. Kt. third, threatening to win the Bishop, would also have
been good play.
(c) Lost time. R. to K. Kt. third, followed by Q. R. to K. sixth, if
Black played K. R. to Kt. square, would have been better fer.
(d) Black prefers giving up " the exchange " as the least of the two
evils. Had he moved this R. last move, the other R. would have fallen
by the check at White's Q. R. Beventh.
(e) Had R. now gone to K. R. fourth, White would have taken off
B. with K. R., and afterwards pushed K. Kt. P. two, winning R.

Winning the Queen.
Notes to Game 885.
a) This part of the game is lively and instructive.
b) Well played. Threatening to win the Queen,
(c) By this serious oversight, White loses his Bishop.
(rf) Strange miscalculation ! White is now enabled to win a piece in
return for that just thrown away.
(e) This appears to have been played in utter unconsciousness of the
two fatal moves impending.

Notts to Game 886.

(a) Threatening, strangely enough, to win the K. P. for nothing, al
though protected on both flanks.
(6) " K. B. P." one would also have been a good move.
(c) Q. to K. B. fifth, with view of sacrificing the R. at Q. sixth, and
then mating with the Q. at Q. fifth or Q. Kt. fifth, would have been strong
play ; but we believe the best move was R. to Q. Kt. fifth, to prevent the
escape of the K. to R. second.

->'> THE CHESS PLAYER'S CHRONICLE.
Notes to Game 887.
(a) By thus forcing an exchange of Knights, White relieves himself in
a great measure from the attack his opponent was preparing.
(4) Retreating the R. was better than taking the Kt., because, in the
latter case, the P. at Q. fifth would effectually bar the advance of Q. B. P.
—a move most important at this point for the developement of White's
game.
(c) Promising to win the Q. and gaining at least a P.
(<f) From this stage, the game is remarkable for the varied and interest
ing positions it assumes. Black is minus two pawns, his only recom-
pence for which is the somewhat threatening attitude of his Q. and Kt.
(e) To enable him to advance the K. R. P. when the adverse Kt. is
played to Kt. fifth.
(f) Black sees that his only chance of victory depends upon an im
petuous assault, and the attack is now carried on with great animation.
(g) It was suggested afterwards by an able player, that White should
have gone with his K. to R. third, and then, if Black took the K. B. P.
with the Q., relying on the double check, he must have lost the game ;
but, in reply, Mr. S. remarked, if Capt. Kennedy had moved the K. as
recommended, he would inevitably have lost the game ; as, instead of
taking the P., the Black Q. would have been played to her B. eighth, and
then the following variation must have occurred :—
As the position is one of unusual interest, we are tempted to represent
it on a diagram.
Variation on White's 46th move.
White. Black.
46. K. to R. third 46. Q. to her B. eighth
If now the R. is played to Q. square, Q. takes R., and then checks
with Kt. at K. B. seventh. If R. takes P., Black Q. goes to K. R. eighth,
(check) and the Kt. mates. The only feasible move then appears to be,
47. B. takes P. 47. R. takes R.
48. P. takes R. 48. Q. to K. Kt. eighth
And play as White can, he must be mated or lose his Queen.
(6) Had he interposed the Q., she would have been lost ; if the R.,
Black would have checked with Q. at Kt. sixth, and must have gained
at least a piece.
(t) His best move : if he retreated the Q. to K. B. square, Black's Q.
would have taken the R., &c.
(A) He would obviously have lost his R. by moving the K. towards the
adverse Pawn.
[While on a tour through the Continent, in the Summer of 1844, our

respected contributor, Mr. Buckle, enjoyed the delight of playing a few
games at Berlin with M. Von Heydebrant : of these most interesting
parties Mr. B. unfortunately preserved but three, with which he has
favoured us, and which we have much pleasure in presenting to our
readers. As a mark of justice and courtesy towards his distinguished
opponent, Mr. Buckle desires us to state, that although in two out of
the three games now published the victory was on his side, on the whole
number played Mr. Heydebrant won a majority.]

Notes to Game 888.

(a) " K. to B. second" would have been more prudent play. Castling
takes the King out of the field unnecessarily, now that the Queens are
dead.
(6) This also strikes us as an impolitic move, since it gives Black an
isolated Pawn in a position extremely difficult to defend.
(c) We should have taken off the Rook at once.
(d) It is apparent now that Black lost a move by Castling instead of
playing his King to this square in the first instance.
(e) " K. Kt. P. one " we should have preferred.
(/) The student may derive a useful lesson on Pawn playing from an
attentive examination of the last few moves.

GRAND CHESS MATCH IN AMERICA.

From " The Illustrated London News."
Two years since we had the satisfaction of announcing the success of
our countryman, Mr. Staunton, in his great scientific encounter with the
French Chess Champion, M. St. Amant ; a victory which transferred to
England, for the first time, the sceptre that had been successively wielded
by Spain, by Italy, and France, for the last three hundred years. We
have now the gratifying task of recording the opening games of another
match, no less auspicious in its beginning than the former, in which the
opposing parties are likewise an Englishman and a Frenchman. The
competitors on the present occasion, Mr. Stanley and M. Rousseau, have
been trained respectively in the same schools as their predecessors, Mr.
Staunton and M. St. Amant ; the former having belonged to the celebrated
Chess Clubs of London, where, prior to his leaving England, he had ac
quired the reputation of a most promising and brilliant player, and the
latter having long been an "habitue" of the " Cercle des Echecs," in Paris.
In points of practice and the general knowledge of the game, they may
be considered, therefore, equal ; it remains for the contest now pending
to decide their relative powers of reflection, forethought, combination,
nerve, &c. &c.

Black surrenders.
(a) To avoid the heaviness and monotony which are supposed to cha
racterize the " King's Pawn one," or " close game," it was stipulated, we
believe, that both parties should play " K. P. two " at the first move.
(J) The best rejoinder to White's move, according to Heydebrant and
Jaenisch.
(c) Playing the Q. Kt. over to this side, when the adverse King has
Castled with K. R., is a favourite manoeuvre of our best players in the
present day.
(d) White gains this move, at least, by the exchange of pieces.
(e) " K. R. P. one," in our opinion, would have been much better play.
(/) Now, the grave fault Black committed in allowing the adversary's B.
to be posted at K. Kt. fourth square, is strikingly apparent.
(g) This is very finely played, and is an instructive example to young
players of the importance of gaining time at Chess. Had White paused
in his attack to recover the lost Bishop, the adversary might have suc
ceeded in dislodging one or other of the pieces by which he is beleaguered,
or in bringing his own forces to the rescue, and then have ultimately
retrieved the game.
(ft) And thus, after twenty moves only, terminated the opening game of
this long-talked-of match. Lengthened comment upon a struggle so
feeble and short-lived is needless : with the exception of White's con
cluding moves, it presents no points of mark and interest whatever, and
would suffer greatly in comparison with most of the published games of
these amateurs played under ordinary circumstances.

(a) By Castling now, White appears to have thrown away all the advan
tage this opening gives to the first player. The correct move is " Q. B. P.,
one."
(b) We should prefer playing " Pawn to K. B. fourth " at this stage.
(c) In his apprehension of the threatened advance of Black's K. B. P.,
White seems to have quite overlooked the more dangerous move of his
Kt. to Q. fifth.
(d) It was impossible, we believe, to save both the Pawns.
(e) Had Black played on his R. P. now, instead of moving the Kt.,
White would probably have taken the P. at Q. B. fifth with his Bishop.
(/) The beginning of the end 1 White's last few moves afforded his
active opponent time to accumulate a force upon the King's quarters,
which is quite irresistible.
(g) Properly played ; if the Kt. is taken, Mate follows in three moves.
(A) In this game, White makes a longer, if not a better fight than in the
preceding one ; but the play is certainly below the ordinary standard of
his games. Neither party, indeed, as yet seems to have " warmed to his
work;" after a few more games we shall have both upon their mettle, and
then some play worthy ofthemselves and the occasion may be looked for.

Notes to Game 3.
(a) The opening is played on both sides with care and earnestness.
(b) " Q. to her second would have been better play, we believe.
(c) He might have opened a smart attack with his cavalry by taking off
the adverse Kt., but he probably feared to lose his Q. Kt. Pawn.
(d) We see no just cause or impediment why K. Kt. P. should not have
been thrown forward two squares, with the object of winning the Kt. If
Black had thus attacked the Kt., White might have played the other Kt.
to K. R. fifth, upon which K. B. P. must have been played, and the game
would have resolved itself into many perilous and interesting situations.
(e) Again it strikes" us that the K. Kt. P. might have been played on
theKt.
(/) In a contest of such importance it is right to assume that every

position underwent a rigid scrutiny ; and we doubt not that M. Rousseau
had good reason for not advancing the K. B. P. on the two pieces, although
the objection is not at the moment evident to us.
(g) Had he taken the R. P., White would have moved his R. to Q. R.
square, and the result would have been merely the exchange of two
pawns.
(K) Very prettily played.

Notes to Game 6.
(a) M. Heydebrant commends K. Kt. to B. third at this point.
(6) This, to us, appears a mere lost move.
(c) Very ingeniously played. If White ventured to take the R., his
Queen would have been lost.
(d) Had Black taken the K. Kt. P. with his R., attacking the Q. both
with R. and B., the following moves will show, we believe, that it would
have cost him at least a piece :
33. R takes Kt. P.
84. Q. R. to Q. eighth (check) 34. B. takes R. (or A.)
35. Q. takes B (check) 35. Q. to K. square (best)
36. Q. takes Q. (check) 36. K. takes Q.
37. R. takes R., &c.
(A)
34. K. to Kt. second
35. Q. R. takes R. (check) 35. K. takes R.
36. R. takes R. (check) &c.
(e) This loses the game, which Black might surely have drawn by sim
ply playing the Book alternately to K. Kt. third and fourth squares.
Since the publication of the above in the columns of our enterprising

contemporary, we have been favoured with the remaining games played up
to December 20th, but have only space in the present Number for the fol
lowing additional one.

Note* to Game 7.
(a) We should have ventured on taking the K. R. P. at once.
(6) This pawn might have been more advantageously taken three or
four moves earlier, it appears .to us.
(c) " K. R. P. one," with the view to regain the lost piece, would have
been better play.
(d) It was a great error, we think, to give White's B. an inlet. Why
not have taken Kt. with Kt. ?

White to play, and give Mate in five moves.

Captain Kennedy, at page 16 of our last number, the unfortunate omission
of a move on each side renders the whole unintelligible.—The reader is

Notes to Game 892. By Mr. G n.

(a) " K. P. one " seems at first sight a hetter move, but " Q. Kt. to Q
fifth " renders it nugatory.
(b) An important move, not merely from its freeing the Rook, but be
cause it prepares for an attack on the adverse K. B. P.
(c) Much better than " R. takes P. (check) "

Notes to Game 899.

(a) " K. Kt. to R. third " is a better move at this stage.
(b) With the Chess Board before him, M.'Harwitz would no doubt
have preferred " Q. to her fifth, checking."
(c) There is no lost time here. The next move shows the object of
this.
(d) The force and accuracy of Black's moves, in a position so full of
peril to a blindfold player, as the present, are truly admirable.
(e) Intending to take the B. checking, if Black took the Rook, and
having an eye at the same time to the adverse K. Kt. P.
(/) Threatening to mate at once.
(g) With the object of taking the K. R. P. with the Rook.

Notes to Game No. 900.
(a) This is a favourite move of M. Kieseritzki's in defending the
Bishop's gambit.
(6) From the unusual position of this Bishop, how apt an ordinary
player would be to forget that it was now attacked by the Queen ! but
these masters of the blindfold game overlook nothing.
(c) Attacking the K. Kt. P. doubly.
(d) A good counter move. Black's play from this point is capital.
(e) Had he taken the Rook, White would have come out of the skir
mish the winner of a piece.
(/) The foresight and accuracy of t nlculation displayed in these diffi
cult situations are surprising. Even with the advantage of seeing the
Chess-board, many good players would have taken the Rook, and—have
lost the game.
(g) From this point to the end, Black's play cannot be improved.

Notes to Game 8.
(a) Badly calculated. After such a lapsus, Black ought to have won
the game.
(6) Black has now an excellent game. A Pawn more, and a better
position than his opponent, should have been enough to secure the vic
tory.
(c) His best move. Had he played the R. to K square, Black would
have advanced the K. B. Pawn.
(d) This is an egregious fault. He had evidently expected to gain a
piece if White took the Q. Pawn, but overlooked the subsequent check of
the Bishop at Kt. eighth.
(e) After this, Black's game is hopeless. White gains the " exchange,"
and the Pawns must fall ultimately under the power of the Rook.

Notes to Game 9.
(a) This last move appears the result of imperfect calculation. Black's
object was to check with his Q. at her B. fourth, when the Kt. was at
tacked by the Rook's Pawn, by which he expected to win the Q. B. P. ;
but, unfortunately, he forgot that the interposition of his adversary's
R. at K. B. second prevented the capture. He would have improved his
position had he played the Q. to Kt. fourth, instead of thus losing time.
(6) Anything but judicious. What possible advantage could Black
propose to himself by this exchange ?
(c) This follows of course, and should have been foreseen. The game
at this stage is utterly irretrievable.
(d) Q. to K. Kt. third appears the best move, but even that would
lose " the exchange " and a Pawn.
(e) White plays very well, exacting to the uttermost the penalty of his
opponent's error.
(/) Had White taken the Kt., Black could have drawn the game.

Notes to Game 10.

(a) M. Rousseau appears but imperfectly acquainted with the re
sources of this beautiful opening. Instead of castling, as in a previous
game, or taking the Pawn, as he did in this, he should have played Q. B.P.
one square.
(b) The last few moves are very well played by White, and up to this
point we should certainly take his game for choice.
(c) By thus placing the B. in front of the K., White prompts his adver
sary to make a good move. Either the King should not have been moved
to his second, or, being there, the Bishop should not have been stationed
where he now is.
(<f) While the Rook remained on Q. square, Black was in some peril,
for his enemy threatened to play Kt. to Q. R. fourth, then give up Rook
for Knight, and finally mate at Q. Kt. sixth.
(e) Bad as this is, he appears to have had no better move.
(/) If he had checked at Q. sixth, instead of capturing the Pawn,
Black would equally have gained a piece.

Notes to Game 11.

(a) It appears by this opening that' we were misinformed as to the
players having mutually agreed to play King's Pawn two squares for their
first move every game.
(ft) This is premature. His first object should have been the develop
ment of his forces.
(c) Through the too forward situation of Black's unsupported Pawns,
White is enabled to break them up at once.
(d) Any attempt to sustain the Q. B. P. by the Kt.'s Pawn would have
been unavailing, for White would instantly have answered with " Q. R. P.
two," and thus have gained a still more marked advantage in position.
(e) White evidently sees where the strength of his game lies.
(/) But for this almost incredible blunder, Black might yet have re
trieved the game. He should have castled, and then the Bishop to Q. B.
fourth would have done him telling service.

ANOTHER CHESS MATCH.

A conflict ofmore than ordinary interest and importance is at present
absorbing the attention of Metropolitan amateurs, and attracting crowds
ofvisitors to the old London Chess Club in the City. The competitors on
this occasion are Mr. Staunton, and Mr. Bernard Horwitz, a distinguished
player from Germany, between whom arrangements have been made for the
playing, upon even terms, a series of twenty- one games, exclusive of those
declared drawn. The first game, which lasted not more than two hours,
and terminated in favour of Mr. Staunton, commenced on Monday evening,
the 2nd of February. Since that sitting, owing to the indisposition of
Mr. Horwitz, only five more games have been played, of which Mr. H.
won the first, and Mr. S. the remaining four ; giving the following result
of the whole play :—
Staunton . . 5 | Horwitz . . 1 | (Drawn) . . 0

Notes to Game 1 .
(a) Habituated to the giving odds in every game for the last two or
three years, White labours under a temporary disadvantage in playing
" even games with a player thoroughly versed in, and daily prac
tising, the " book " openings ; he very prudently, therefore, begins in
a way to throw each party on his own resources as much as possible.
(b) This move is utterly repugnant to our notions ofcorrect play.
(c) It would have been bad play to take the K. Kt. P. ; and if he had
played Q. Kt. to Q. fifth, White would have attacked the Queen with his
Kt., and then have played B. to Q. B. fourth.
(d) Black could Castle on neither side without loss. White has, there
fore, ample time to develope his Q.'s pieces.
(c) A terrible move for Black.
(/) " Kt. to K. R. fourth " would have been imprudent, on account of
" Q. to K. fifth,", &c.
(g) Threatening to win the persecuted Queen next move.
(A) His only move to save her.
(0 The force of this move is seen in the subsequent play.
(A) The game was quite irretrievable, but this move needlessly has
tened the catastrophe.

THE CHESS PLAYER'S CHRONICLE. !)1
Notes to Game 2.
a) This is a lost move.
b) Up to this point, Black has unquestionably the best of the opening.
We believe, now, the correct move, instead of taking the B. P., is " Q. to
B. third."
(c) He ought to have taken Kt. with Kt. at once.
(d) This is a good move. Black must now at least lose a Pawn.
(e) By attempting to save the Pawn, Black sacrifices the game.
(/) Nothing now can save the game. If Black play B. to K. square,
Kt. takes B . ; and then the other Kt. taking K. B. P., and afterwards moving
to Q. sixth, wins easily.
(g) This is quite in keeping with Black's inconsiderate play previously.
Why not " K. to R. square ? "

Notes to Game 3.
(a) This was thrown forward mainly as a lure to tempt the advance of
White Q. Pawn.
(6) White saw that he could now push on the Pawn advantageously, as,
after the anticipated exchanges, his Kt. would threaten to check at Q. B.
seventh—a move which his opponent, in his eagerness to gain a Pawn,
completely overlooked.
(c) Taking no heed of the impending check at his B. second.
(d) His best move, if sudden extinction is preferable to lingering tor
ture. Had he moved elsewhere, the Kt. would have taken Q.'s Rook, and
the game must have been lost eventually.

Notes to Game 4.
(a) It would, perhaps, have been prudent to return the Kt. to Q. B.
thiid.
(6) The necessity to sustain a doubled Pawn gave White an opportu
nity of opening a powerful attack on the King's side.
(c) Very well played.
(d) A little examination will shew that this was indispensable.
(e) White plays here with becoming care and foresight. He knew well
the importance of getting his K.'s Rook to Kt.'s third, with the object of
afterwards placing it behind the Q. on the Rook's file, and he saw the dif
ficulty of accomplishing it while Black's Bishop could be played to K. B.'s
seventh, a move effectually barred by the Q.'s Rook being stationed at
K. B.'s square.
(J) This is an error. White forgot that on pushing forward his Kt.'s
Pawn, as he meditated, Black could exchange Queens. His best move,
we believe, was K. B.'s P. one, from which many beautiful variations
spring. He might also have played K. R. to his third, aud in either case
would have had an almost irresistible attack.
(g) Played with the conviction that White, overlooking the Q.'s Rook
in reserve, would dash at a Mate with his Kt.
(A) This may be called " The game move." By bringing the banished
Rook into operation at the proper moment, Black completely paralyses his
opponent's attack.
(t) Leaving White nothing but to retreat.
(k) He would obviously have lost his Queen, had he taken the doubled
Pawn with her.
(I) We have here one of those positions, where the young player,
flushed with success, is too apt to suffer a victory within his reach to
elude him. Nine out of ten inexperienced amateurs would now snatch at
the Rook, conceiving the check with the Knight sheer loss of time ; and
would be astounded to learn that they had lost the game by their impe
tuosity. Let us suppose Black to have played in this manner :—
36. B. takes R.
37. Q. to B. sixth (check) 37. Q. to Kt. second
38. Q. to her eighth (check) 38. Q. to Kt. square (a)

Notes to Game 5.
(a) Since the time of Philidor, with whom this was a favourite defence,
the leading writers of Italy, of Germany, and England, have concurred in
pronouncing it inferior to " Q. Kt. B. third."
(6) With the hope of planting his Kt. at K. fifth.
(c) Intending presently, if an opportunity occur, to play Q. Kt. to Q.
fifth, and, after the exchanges, take Q. B. P. with his Q.
(d) Had he played the Knight over to Q. fifth, before protecting the
Bishop, he would have lost at least a Pawn.
(e) The exchange of Pawns, with the subsequent advance of this
Pawn, appears, at first sight, a skilful conception, and one that must turn
the scale in favour of the second player. Upon examination, however,
it turns out to have been made without any consideration of the move
White had in store, which renders the whole combination worse than
nugatory
(/) This rejoinder was certainly not foreseen by Black when he played
on the Q. Pawn.
(g) He would have got an equally bad position by taking the K.'s P.
with P.
(h) As the sacrifice of the Q.'s Kt. at this crisis had many advocates
when the game was over, it may be well to examine briefly the conse
quences of that move. Suppose, then, instead of " K. Kt.'s P. one," that
Black had played—
25. Q. Kt. takes Q. P.
White then has several ways of playing.
IN THE FIEST PLACE.
26. B. takes K. Kt. 26. Q. R. takes B.
27. K. to R. square 27. Q. R. to K. second, (a)
28. P. takes Kt. 28. R. takes B.
29. Q. P. one Winning easily

26. R. takes Q. Kt. 26. B. takes R.
B. takes P. And White ought to win.

23. Q. to her third 23. Kt. takes K. R.
And after a few moves, White surrendered.
Notes to Game 6.
(a) We should have taken off the Knight in preference. Black then,
as his best move, would probably have taken the Knight (for taking the
Rook would be dangerous, on account of " Q. Kt. to K. Kt. fifth "), and
then the game might have proceeded thus :—
White. Black.
14. Q. Kt. takes Kt. 14. Q. P. takes Kt.
15. Q. to her Kt. third (check) 15. Q. to her fourth
17. K. R. to Q. square &c. &c.
The position, however, would even then have been much in favour of the
second player, from the commanding situation of his two Bishops.
(6) This is stronger play, we believe, than taking the Q. Kt. After
advancing the double Pawn, Black remarked that, had his position been
less favourable, and the advantages springing from this move less obvi
ously certain, he should have much preferred the more enterprising play
of taking the K. B. Pawn with his Kt.,—a sacrifice, as he demonstrated in
an after game, which leads to many strikingly beautiful situations—for
example :
White. i Black.

LIVERPOOL CHESS CLUB.

On Wednesday Evening, 28th January, the Annual Dinner of the
Liverpool Chess Club took place at the Adelphi Hotel. About fifty gentle
men were present, the Chair being occupied by Augustus Mongredien,
Esq., and the Vice-chair by James Lister, Esq.
When the cloth was withdrawn, the Chairman gave " The Queen,"
and, after a short interval rising again, observed that it gave him great
pleasure to meet around the festive board, year after year, an increasing
number of friends, and still greater pleasure to be the vehicle of proposing
to them a toast which naturally formed a prominent feature in their pro
ceedings on such occasions—namely, " Prosperity and Permanence to the
iverpool Chess Club." (Cheers.) Since their last annual reunion their
numbers had increased about twenty-five per cent., and if they went on in
the same ratio, he would leave it to gentlemen skilled in such calculations
to say what their number might probably be in the year 1 900. (Laughter.)
He hoped the increase of talent had kept pace with that of numbers ; if
it had not—if the talent of the new members was in a latent state, he
would recommend a frequent attendance at the Club. Of late there had
been nothing but stagnation in the Chess world—a flatness in the market ;
the greater powers had not exhibited any feelings of hostility towards each
other, but had remained content with the dominions they possessed.
However, there was a prospect of a match shortly taking place between
Mr. Staunton and Mr. Horwitz ; and from his own experience of the play
of the latter gentleman, he might state, that if Mr. Staunton proved victor
in this contest, he would add fresh laurels to those which he had already
gained.—Mr. Horwitz was a native of Germany—a country possessing
perhaps more really strong players than either England or France. He
had opportunity a few months back of witnessing the flourishing state of
Chess in Germany, during a visit he had occcsion to make to the northern
part of that country. It gave him pleasure now publicly to acknow
ledge the kindness of the welcome he had received from the Chess players
of Germauy, especially at Berlin. He there met with Dr. Bledow, whose
name must be familiar to most present. Of twelve games, he (Mr. Mon-
gredien) won four, lost seven, and drew one. At Stettin he found a young
but promising player (Mr. Mayet), with whom he had seven games, three
for each, and one draw. Only want of time prevented his encountering
many other formidable antagonists. Mr. Horwitz he had hoped to see
as their guest this evening, but was disappointed. (Letters were then
read from Howard Staunton, Esq., George Perigal, Esq., Captain Harry
Wilson, George Walker, Esq., and Monsieur St. Amant, expressing then-
regret at not being able to attend.) In conclusion, he would express the
hope that he might often have the pleasure of meeting them, and hearing
them respond to the toast of " Prosperity and Permanence to the Liver
pool Chess Club." (Cheers.)
The Vice-Chairman then proposed " Mr. Perigal and the London
Chess Club." He considered the London Club as the parent of all the
similar societies in the kingdom, and that to the exertions of Mr. Perigal,
more than to any other cause, was to be attributed the vigorous longevity
of that parent. (Drunk with three times three.)
Song—" The glasses sparkle on the board."
Mr. Sleigh introduced the next toast by observing, that while the
living claimed their admiration, they ought not to forget what was due to
the memory of the dead : to their labour, study, and brilliant genius we
all owed much. He alluded to those two great competitors, who might
be called the founders of the modern school of Chess. He gave " The
immortal memory of La Bourdonnais and M'Donnell." (Drunk in solemn
silence.)
Mr. Spreckxey, in proposing " Mr. Staunton and the Chest Player's
Chronicle," alluded to the supremacy in Chess having been generally con
ceded to our French neighbours, until Mr. Staunton so gallantly won the
match at Paris. As the name of that gentleman was joined in the toast
to the title of a periodical which enjoyed the benefit of his supervision, it
might not be out of place to inform those present, that arrangements had
been recently made, which would much increase the value and attraction
of the Chess Player's Chronicle. (The toast was drunk amidst loud
cheers.)
Song—" The Thames Tunnel."
Mr. Schware proposed " M. St. Amant and The Palamede." He
remarked that we were principally indebted to the Palamede for Conti
nental Chess information ; it was the only publication of the sort on the
Continent, and M. St. Amant deserved the gratitude of all Chess players,
if he had done nothing more than revive and sustain this periodical.
(Cheers.)
Song—" Le Paysan d'Alsace."
The Vice-Chairman rose to propose the health of one, to whom, he
said, the Liverpool Chess Club was much indebted for the progress it
had made, and its present reputation. He alluded to their worthy
President. (Cheers ) He regretted that as Mr. Mongredien now re
sided at a considerable distance, they could scarcely hope to see so much
of him as heretofore. (Hear, hear.) He called upon them to respond
to the toast, not only for the past services of the President, but for his
private worth. (Drunk with three times three and musical honours.)
The Chairman briefly responded to the toast, and before sitting down
proposed the health of Mr. Schwabe, the Treasurer. At one time, when
their Secretary was absent in South America, the Club had dwindled
down until threatened with extinction. Mr. Schwabe, conjointly with
himself, resolved upon making a vigorous, and as it proved a successful
effort, and the life of the infant was saved. (Cheers.)
The Treasurer replied to the toast in a short and appropriate
speech.
Song—" Old England, my country."
Mr. Schware proposed the health of the Secretary, Mr. Spreckley.
(Loud and long-continued cheering.) Upon that gentleman the whole
labour connected with the management of the Club devolved ; and they
were all under great obligations to him for the time he had given, and
the exertions he had made in promoting its success.
The toast was enthusiastically received.
Mr. Spreckley returned thanks. He stated that the present festival
was an epoch—the seal on their dinner tickets bore the legend, " Estab
lished 1837."—They had now, therefore, reached their tenth year, and
might be classed among the venerable institutions of the country.
(Laughter.) He rejoiced in their prosperity—they had doubled their
number of members, and the nights of meeting; but the Club would not,
in his opinion, have attained its proper position until these had been
again trebled—until they met every night, and were 300 strong. Besides
numbers, strength of play was to be desired ; he would indicate what he
thought the right course of study. Beginners ought, if he might so
term it, begin at the end—that is, they should first learn the powers of
the individual pieces, exemplified in the shortest modes of giving check
mate in simple positions, and above all study pawn play ; they would
then be more able to appreciate the analysis to be found in books of the
various openings : there would only then remain the middle of the game,
where they would have to trust to their own invention and resources, and
he believed the best means of cultivating these was to practise the solv
ing of problems. He was glad to inform them, that they would shortly
be able to procure an inexhaustible store of positions for the exercise of
their ingenuity, as M. Alexandre was about to publish a collection of
upwards of 2000 of the finest problems extant.
Song—" The Railways."
The Chairman proposed the health of Mr. Lewis, who, he regretted
to state, had been suffering from a severe attack of illness, from which
he was only now slowly recovering.
Mr. Schware proposed the Vice-Chairman, who, he said, not only-
assisted them himself, but had brought up a second generation, who were
no mean proficients in Chess.
After the Vice-Chairman had returned thanks, toasts and songs fol
lowed in rapid succession. Among the former, Mr. Court proposed the
health of " Mr. Geo. Comer and the Visitors."
Mr. Coleman gave " Mr. Baines and the Liverpool Press."
Mr. Ryder returned thanks for " The New Members," whose health
had been proposed by Mr. Swale ; and the toast of " The Ladies " was
finally given by Mr. Wilson, in a speech of initimable humour. Coffee
was then brought in, after which the Chairman retired. The festivities
were prolonged somewhat later,- the company finally separating shortly
after eleven o'clock, highly delighted with the evening they had passed.

(a) It is obvious that if Q. now take Kt. she is lost.
(6) Black should now have placed his Q. at K. R. eighth (check) content
to draw the game by force ; this move and his following one ought to have
occasioned him the loss of it.
(c) The position at the end of this game is somewhat remarkable.
White, albeit with a piece ahead, play as he may, cannot do better than
make a drawn partie.

Notes to Game 7.
(a) The move adopted by Mr. Cochrane, to whom we are mainly
indebted for this variation of the " Scotch Game," was K. P. one at the
present stage; subsequent analysis has shown, however, that Black success
fully opposes the attack so gained, by advancing his Q. P. two squares.
(6) Had he tried to save the Pawn, White would have won the ex
change.
(c) Threatening to play Q.'s Kt. to R. fourth, and thus win the adverse
Kt.
(d) This and the succeeding move of White would be unpardonable
in the merest tyro ; in this instance, they can only be attributed to culpable
nattention, arising from over confidence, or want of interest in the
struggle.

Notes to Game 8.
(a) Had he played the obvious move of K. B. P. two, White would
evidently have won a piece.
(b) This is remarkably well played, and is as unexpected as it is clever.
(c) Q. R P. one, or Q. R. P. two, would have been far better than this
move, which serves only to consolidate White's Pawns in the centre.
(d) In his usual play, Black would at once have seen that the only
chance of saving the Pawn, was to bring his King to the support of it.
In that case we think there is no doubt the game would have been drawn.
(e) Black has nothing to do. If the Kt. is moved elsewhere, White
mates at K. B. eighth.

Notes to Game 9.
(a) This move compels White to exchange the pieces, and at the same
time affords his adversary the opportunity of advancing his K. B.'s P. two
steps.
(i) Better than attacking the K. Kt. with K. R.'s P., because, in that
case, Black might have played his Q.'s Kt. to R.'s second, leaving the
other Kt. en prise.
(c) Taking the Q. R.'s P. would have been bad play.

(d) This is preferable to taking it with the Kt.
(c) Any other move would have been favourable to Black's game.
(/) Black appears to have played this forward with the notion that
upon his taking the K.'s P., White must retake with the Kt., and thus
enable him to plant his Bishop at Q. B.'s fifth. Perceiving afterwards that
White could safely take the Pawn with his Queen, he contented himself
with taking the Rook's P. instead
(g) Had he played Q. R.'s P. one, his opponent would have rejoined
with " Q.'s P. one."
(A) We like this better than attacking the Rook, for Black might then
have moved K.'s R. to Q.'s square, and, upon the Kt. removing, have
taken K. Kt. P. with the Bishop.
(i) A good counter move.
(A) This commands immediate attention. Has Black any better reply
than taking the Kt. ?
(I) White suggested that his adversary might have occasioned him a
good deal of embarrassment by playing on the Q. R.'s Pawn at this point.
Even then we believe White must have won, but with difficulty ; for the
positions springing from this move require a far-sightedness and an ex
actitude of calculation not often exhibited in actual play : e.g.

Notes to Game 10.

(a) This variation of the " Giuoco Piano " is little known. It is briefly
touched on in M. Heydebrant's " Handbuch des Schachspiels," but the first
player there moves his Q. to K. R. fifth, whereupon Black replies with
Q. B. to K. B. fourth, and the debut is dismissed as favourable for the de
fence. On the first occasion when Mr. Horwitz played this opening, we
were of opinion that his move of Q. to K. B. third was decidedly prefer
able to Q, to K. R. fifth ; but the counter move hit upon by his antagonist
in the present game shows clearly, we think, that the opening in any case
b disadvantageous to the first player.
(b) From this point we look upon the game as virtually lost for White.
(c) Probably his best move. Had he played Q. Kt. P. two, Black
might have taken it with his Kt., and upon the B. P. retaking, have moved
K. B. to Q. fifth, winning the exchange.
(d) As good a move, perhaps, as he had on the board. By playing
K.'s R. to Q.'s square., he would evidently have lost a piece.
(e) Well conceived. Tempting Black to open the discovered check,
which would cost him " the exchange."
(/) Interposing, the Kt. and then pushing the K. B,'s P. on the Rook
afterwards, would have been unwise, on account of B. to Q.'s third
(check) &c.
(g) Threatening, if White took the Q.'s P., to win a piece.
(A) He might also have played K. Kt.'a P. one (check), and after the
exchange of Pawns, when the King was driven to his B.'s sixth, have
taken K. B.'s P. with the Kt. The move in the text, however, appears as
effectual as any.
(t) If B. to K.'s fifth, Black rejoined with Kt. to Q.'s second, &c.

Notes to Game 11.

(a) This strikes us as a novelty not to be found in " the books."
(b) Preparatory to an attack on the Q.'s Pawn with B. and Q.
(c) The only move apparently to save the Q.'s Pawn.
(d) Partly in anticipation of Black's playing Q.'s B. to R.'s third.
(e) To get the advantage of a " passed " Pawn, and give free range
presently to his Q.'s B.
(/) Had he protected the Q.'s B. with either of his Rooks, White
would have won both Bishops for his Rook.
(g) By this mode of play Black loses a Pawn, but we doubt if he had
any other less disadvantageous to him.
(A) This move involved so many remote contingencies, that it required
some nerve and the nicest calculation to venture on it.
(0 Ingeniously played.
(h) His only safe move.
(Z) Black's game was to bring this B. to bear on the adverse K. Kt.'s
P. : he would have saved time, therefore, by moving it at once to its fifth.
(m) If White had played his Rook to Q. Kt.'s seventh with the view
of winning the K. Kt's. P., Black might have played R. to K. third,
leaving the Pawn to be taken, and then R. to K. R. third.
122 THE CHESS PLAYER'S CHUONICLE.
(b) It was remarked by White, after the game, that his opponent over
rated the strength of the attack on the K. Kt. P. Independent of taking
the Bishop, which seems the most effectual way to avert the menaced
danger, White might have played Kt. to K. third, Q. R. P. one ; or R. to
Q. second ; and, in each case, have won the game.
(o) It is too apparent that taking the Knight would have cost Black
his Queen.
(/>) This move was, of course, foreseen when White ventured to advance
the Q. R. Pawn.
(q) His only play to preserve the winning Pawn.

Notes to Game 12.

(a) If he had taken the Pawn with his Q/s B., Black would h^e
played Q. P. one, and have won a piece.
(A) He might have taken off the Knight, and then have advanced the
Q.'s Pawn on the Bishop, giving up " the exchange," and gained a win
ning position.
(c) This is evidently to induce White to play on the Q.'s Pawn.
(d) The opening player has contrived to creep out of his difficulties,
and, barring the lost Pawn, to have almost as good a game as his op
ponent.
(e) Throwing away the centre Pawn.
(J) This move ought to have lost the game.
(g) After the first few moves, Black plays throughout this game with
unaccountable indifference. A little attention would have won it at the
sixteenth or seventeenth move, and now he permits another opportunity
of securing it to be lost. If, instead of challenging the exchange of
Queens, he had simply played on his K. B.'s P., we cannot see how his
opponent could have saved the game : for example :—
White. Black.
38. K. B. P. one
39. P. takes P. (or A) 39. Q. takes Q. B. P. (check)
(Winning the Rook, and the game
afterwards without difliculty.
(A)
Whit, Black
38. K. B. P. one
39. R. takes B. 39. Q. takes Q. B. P. (check)
(He might also play Q. to K. B.
seventh (check) — then take
P. with P. &c.
40. K. to Q. second 40. P. takes K. Kt. P.
(P. to K. B. seventh would also
win.)
41. R. to K. Kt. third 41. R. to B. seventh (check)
(If B. to K. B. fourth, Black may
take Q. P. (check), and then
take B. with his Queen)
42. K. to his third (best) 42. Q. to K. B. fifth
(And mates in four moves.)
(h) If he had taken the Q. B. P., Black must have won the game.

fcotet to Game 13.

(a) Bold play this, to Castle in defiance ofthe advanced Pawns, on th«
Q.'s side.
(6) Q. to K. Kt. third followed by B. to K. Kt. fifth, and upon the
Rook moving, B. to K. B. sixth, would have been good play also.
(c) This Rook to Kt. square would have rendered the attack almost
irresistible.
(«/) Had this Rook been played here at once, White would have been
a move in advance.
(e) Q. to her third would perhaps have been stronger.
(/) White had now three or four promising ways to continue the
attack. The one chosen is so menacing that we thought it indefensible,
till Black's admirable resistance proved the contrary.—The next most
obvious move to be considered was a Rook to Q. B. fifth : in this case,
Black has the choice oftwo squares only for his Queen—her R. third and
fifth : the latter would be fatal to him in a few moves.

CHESS INTELLIGENCE. .
After a tedious struggle of nearly three years' duration, the match by
correspondence between the players of Paris and those of Pesth has ter
minated in favour of the latter ; Pesth winning both games played. We
have not room to give the games in the present Number, but we hope to
do so next month, accompanied by notes explanatory of the most impor
tant points in the play on each side.
The weekly re-union at the Cercle des Echecs, in Paris, have terminated
for the season ; and it is currently reported that Messrs. Kieseritzki and
Harwitz, whose admirable Blindfold games have given so much eclat to
those meetings, are on the eve of visiting the Chess Clubs of London.
We are much gratified to record the success of one of our most able and
enthusiastic amateurs, Mr. B. G., during his recent sojourn at Paris. In ad
dition to the satisfaction of playing with all the notabilities now in the
field, Mr. G. had the rare gratification of breaking a lance with the re
nowned Des Chappelles himself. With this great master Mr. G. played
two games, receiving the Pawn and two moves, and of these won one, and
the other was drawn. Against M. St. Amant, at the same odds, our
countryman out of five games won three, lost one, and drew one. He
has since been engaged in small matches upon even terms with Mr.
Harwitz and M. Lecrivain. In those with the former, the advantage has
been rather on the side of his opponent. But against M. Lecrivain, who
ranks amongst the best of the second rate players of the Cercle, Mr. G.
has won two matches, six games to four in each, and has commenced a
third, of which he has already two games to one.
The very interesting series of games played between Messrs. Stanley
and Rousseau, in their late grand match, have been published as a
pamphlet in New Orleans. If illustrated by copious notes from the
players themselves, we have no doubt this collection will meet with a
ready sale in Europe.
At a meeting held a few weeks back, Mr. Staunton was unanimously
elected an Honorary Member of the London Chess Club ; and more re
cently this old established Society has received another accession, in their
election of Mr. Mongredien as President.

Note to Game 912.

(a) This is not a good move, and increases the difficulty of White's
position. His best play was to have changed Queens ; but with care on
the part of his antagonist, even that could not have ultimately saved the
game.

(a) K. P. one, we believe, would have been better play.
(6) This move adds much to the advantage in position which White has
acquired.
(c) K. R. to Q. square would have been more judicious,
(rf) Threatening to gain a clear piece.
(e) The superior development ofWhite's pieces is quite enough, with
moderate care, to secure a victory.

Notes to Game 916.

We give this game as a sample of what the Americans call " down

Mr Stanley, of which he won three, lost eleven, and drew four.

Notes to Game 13.

(a) Black here unaccountably omitted an opportunity of winning the
game. Instead of taking the Rook, he should have played Q. P. one,
and he would then have gained at least a piece.
(b) It would have been bad play for White to have taken the Q. ; e. g.
27. B. takes Q. 27. R. takes Q.
28. B. takes B. (check) (best) 28. Kt. takes B.
29. K. takes R. 29. Kt. takes Kt. &c.
(1 The winning this Pawn was very adroitly managed. We should
have taken off the Bishop, and then have threatened mate by playing
the King to Kt. third, or have moved the K. at once to his Kt. third,
compelling the adverse King to retreat.

Notes to Game 14.

(a) This move, which was introduced by a brilliant amateur of the
London Chess Club a few years ago, has been approved by
the best writers, Heydebrant, Lewis, Jaenisch, &c. since, as the most
effectual way of wresting the attack from the opening player ; but an
examination of the highly ingenious rejoinder, devised by Mr. Horwitz,
will have the effect, if we mistake not, of considerably weakening the re
liance of players upon this favourite variation in future.
(6) This is the counter move invented by Mr. Horwitz. He had long
felt assured, he tells us, that the fourth move of Black was unsound, and,
after much pondering and analysis, it occurred to him that Kt. to Q. Kt.
fifth might be satisfactorily opposed to it. The following moves will
serve to show the effect this move is likely to have upon the subsequent
game of the second player. Suppose

Notes to Game 15.

(a) Black would have gained no advantage by taking the Q. P. at this
juncture, or by advancing his K. Kt. P. two, to attack the Rook. The
move in the text was not made without due deliberation, and we believe
it the best on the board.
(5) White designedly gives up the Queen's Pawn, to get a counter
attack with his combined forces.
(c) Queen to her Knight's third would have been worse than useless.
(rf) Had he gone to Queen's square, to protect his threatened Pawn,
White would have won the King's Knight's Pawn : e.g.—
White. Black.

27. Q. takes K. R . _27. Q. takes R.
28. Q. takes R. (check) &c.
If R. to K. third, White takes R. with R. &c.
(e) A most important move. Black dare not now advance his Q. P.
on account of Q. to B. seventh (check), which would enable White to
double his Rooks on the adversary's K. Kt. P. and thus win easily.
(/) K. to R. second would have been very bad play, because Black
would have checked with his Q. at K. fourth ; and if then the Queen
were interposed, he would have taken the Q. and played R. to K. sixth
(check), and afterwards R. to Q. Kt. sixth.
(g) He could not save all the Pawns attacked.
(h) Threatening to take the K. Kt. P. with his Rook, and then check
with the Queen at her Bishop's third.
t) He would have lost immediately by taking White's Q. Kt. P.
k) K. to his third would have been better.
/) This was ill-judged. He should have played R. to K. Kt. second,
or Q. R. square.

Notes to Game 17.

(a) The same moves occur in one of the fine games between M'Don-
nell and La Bourdonnais, and the former has been censured for playing
the Kt. at this point to K. fourth, instead of to K. second. Mr. Hor-
witz, however, who appears to be conversant with every opening, declares
the move in the text to be better than Kt. to K. second.
(6) Had he played Q. to her third, the move upon which he must have
relied when he ventured to castle, White could not have taken the
K. R. P., on account of Kt. to K. R. fourth, but he would have had an
irresistible attack by playing Kt. to Q. Kt. fifth, and then B. to Q. third.
VOL. VII. x
(c) If he had taken the Pawn, Black would evidently have gained the
exchange by moving Q. B. to K. R. sixth,
(rf) This is somewhat hazardous.
(e) If he had taken the Rook, Black would have had the better game.
(/) K. to Kt. fourth would have been imprudent, because of K. R. P.
two (checking) and then, if the K. took the Pawn, R. to K. R. square
(check) ; R. to K. R. fifth (check) ; and R. takes Q. B. P.
(§■) This move accelerates the loss of the game. White's object is to con
fine the adverse King to the extreme line of the board, so as to have ample
time to play his own King to the other side, and at the proper moment ex
change the Rook for Black's Bishop and Pawn. Black's best move at this
point is, perhaps, B. to Q. Kt. fifth : if, in that case, White play bis
R. to K. B. sixth, Black will release his King; for although White may
win the Q. Kt. P., he cannot win the game. With careful play, however,
let Black manoeuvre as he can, his king must be confined, and the game
won by his opponent.
(A) It is obvious that Black would have lost his B. had he moved the
King

Notes to Game 18.

(o) This deviation from the customary moves in the present opening
deserves consideration. We are much mistaken if, hereafter, it will not
be found a great improvement on the old style of carrying on the game.
(6) One of the chief advantages arising from Black's variation, is its
enabling him to advance this Pawn with safety, and thus effectually pre
venting the formidable attack which the opening player generally obtains
by throwing forward the Pawns on this side.
(c) With the object of pushing the K.'s Pawn when Black castles, and
then, if P. takes P., of taking Q. B. P attacking K.'s Rook.
(d) Kt. takes Kt. (check) would have been stronger play.
(e) Had he taken the Bishop with Rook, White would have gained the
exchange by first taking Q. with Q., and then R. with R.
(/) B. to Q. R.'s second would have been much better play.
(g) Black might have shortened the game by now taking the K. Kt.'s P.
checking, and then, if the King took his Bishop, K. R.'s Pawn, re
covering the piece and winning two Pawns.
(h) This hastens the catastrophe : his best move was to take the Q.'s
Pawn with his Kt.

Notes to Game 19.

(a) The advance of this Pawn at the proper moment always appears
to turn the tables on the opening player of the Giuoco Piano.
(6) White has now again got somewhat the best of the position, as
Black cannot take this Pawn.
(c) This inconsiderate move loses the game. By playing the Q. Kt.
to K. R. second, or to Q. second, he would have had unquestionably the
advantage.
(d) " B. takes K. B. P.," followed by « Kt. or B.to K. sixth," would have
lost a piece.
(e) The terminating moves are finished off in beautiful style by Mr.
Horwitz.

Notes to Game 20.

(a) The young player will observe that White dared not attempt to
drive away the adverse Bishop by playing K. R. P. one, as Black would
at once have taken it, and, if White took the Bishop, have won his Queen.
(6) This move for the moment subjects White to a good deal of con
straint ; but on examining the position, it will be seen that his confine
ment is but temporary ; Black cannot now play Kt. to Q.'s seventh, on ac
count of " B. takes K. R. P. (check)," followed by Q. to her third, &c.
(c) This, in connexion with the advance of K. Kt. P. two squares, and
the subsequent move of K. to his Kt. third, exercises a most important in
fluence upon the game.
(d) Promising to win the Kt. by a check at K. Kt. eighth
(e) Gaining time, as White must prepare for the threatened check of
Ring and Queen.
(/) White has apparently a very formidable attack. He menaces the
dangerous move of R. to Q. sixth, and of B. to Q. square. Had Black
attempted to act on the defensive, by retreating the Kt. to B. second, or by

exchanging Queens, he would have lost the game.
(g) The result would have been the same, play where he might.
(A) His only move to protract the contest being the sacrifice of the
Rook ; for, if he take the Bishop, mate ensues directly.

Notes to Game 21.
(a) Attacking the Q. at this juncture with the K. Kt.'s P. and K. B.'s
P. would have been unavailing, as she could always retreat to the Rook's
third, and threaten mate.
(b) If White had ventured on the obvious move of taking the K. B.'s
P. with his Kt., Black, by simply retreating his Q. to her own square,
would have won a piece.
(n) The position of both parties is critical, and demands the nicest
care.
(i) This 13 a good move, as it excludes the Queen effectually from her
King's fifth when attacked by the Bishop.
(e) At the conclusion of the game, Mr. Horwitz declared it won by
him from this point, if he had only exchanged Rooks before playing the
Kt. to R.'s fourth, because in that case White could not take the Kt.,
and as his best play must have sacrificed his Bishop for the King's and
Queen's Pawns. In an after game, however, his adversary pointed out his
error, and demonstrated, that play as Black could, White would still pre
serve the advantage—e. g.
White. Black.
23. R. takes R.
24. R. takes R. 24. Kt. to Q. R. fourth.
By taking the Kt. at his next move, White would now lose " the ex
change," because on retaking, his opponent threatens mate and thus pre
serves his Bishop: if instead of taking the Kt. he play the Q. to her third,
Black takes the Bishop with Kt., and then K. B. P. with his B., having a
winning game. The only mode of escape apparently is " B. takes P. (check
ing) &c.," and in this variation also the result is advantageous to Black.
There is yet however another defence that Mr. Horwitz had omitted to
consider, which seems to neutralize the fancied advantages of his varia
tion—this is:
25. Q. P. one 25. P. takes P. ; or (A.)
26. R. takes Kt. 26. P. takes B. (He would leave his
King in check, were heto take the
Queen.)
27. R. takes Q. 27. B. takes Q.
28. P. takes B. And White should win.
White. (A.) Black.

25. B. takes P. ; or (B.)
26. R. takes Kt. 26. B. takes Q.
27. R. takes Q.
And White has a piece more than his opponent, with no inferiority of
situation.
(B.)
25. Kt. takes B. (his best move)
26. Q. takes Kt. 26. B. takes P. (best)
27. Q. to her B. fifth 27. Q. to K. fourth
28. Kt. to Q. B. third 28. R. to Q. Kt.'s square.
29. Q. Kt. P. two
There are many ways of playing for both parties, but with his passed
Pawn, and a Kt. opposed to the adverse Bishop, White's game is certainly
preferable.
(/) This effectually guards the Pawn ; for Black cannot play his Rook
to Q. Kt.'s fifth, without immediate loss by his adversary taking the Q.'s
Pawn.

GREAT MATCH BY CORRESPONDENCE,

BETWEEN PESTH AND PAEI8.
Begun November 1842: Concluded January, 1846.
In the preceding Number we announced the final termination of this
long protracted contest, and the triumphant victory achieved by the
Hungarian players. We now proceed to redeem our promise, and to pre
sent the games in their completed form, with such brief observations as
have occurred to us while playing them through. The match origi
nated in a challenge from the gallant players of Pesth to the members
of the Paris Cercle des Echecs, to play two games by correspondence,
for a stake of 501. a side. This cartel having been accepted, with all due
formality, by the Frenchmen, a committee on each side for conducting
the games was speedily organized. That on the part of Paris comprised
the names of St. Amant, Kieseritzki,* Laroche, Devinck, Lecrevain,
Sasias, Calvi, Guingret, and Chamouillet ; while the parties appointed by
Pesth were Szen, Lowenthal, Grimm, Kohlman, and five others. The
games were to be played simultaneously, and in accordance with the
Rules of Chess adopted by the Paris Club ; four days being allotted for
the consideration of each move. Either party winning both games, or
winning one and drawing the other, to be declared the conqueror ; and in
the event of a misunderstanding, the disputed point to be referred to the
St. George's Chess Club, London. These simple preliminaries having
been mutually assented to, the contest began November 2, 1842. The
Parisians opening the ball with
"1. Le Pion r>u Roi, Deux Pas."
* M. Kieseritzki is in no degree responsible for the untoward issue of
the conflict. He resigned his place at the council very early in the game.

Notes to the Paris Ganw.

(a) To our mind, this is far from a commendable way of opening
the game.—If a close position were the object sought, " K.'s P. one," or
" Q B.'s P. two," would have attained it more advantageously than the pre
sent line ofplay.
(b) The forced retreat of this piece, and the constrained position of all
Black's men, show conclusively, we think, the fault of choosing such a
debut.
(c) This has the effect of weakening the position of White's King, and
appears to us uncalled for in a game by Correspondence.
(d) Pesth does prudently, we think, in a game played as this is, to keep
their K. R.'s Pawn, unmoved.
(e) Quite ineffectual, to prevent the advance of Black's " K. B.'s P."
and made apparently without consideration of his next move, "K. Kt.'s
Pawn one."—Would it not have been better for White to have retreated
their Kt. at once, and thrown up the K. B.'s P. ?
(f) Looked at in connexion with the subsequent move of Q. to her
Kt.'s 3rd., this must be pronounced a stroke of " masterly inactivity."
(g) This and the succeeding moves are admirably played.
(A) " Q. to K. B'.s second." at this point is exceptionable, certainly,
but yet less dangerous, we should have thought, than the present step.
(i) Threatening a quietus on the move. Now the error committed by
White, in advancing their K. R.'s P. so early in the game, is strikingly
evident.
(k) The aspirant for Chess honours will do well to ponder on these
last few moves.
(J) Still menacing the impending mate.
(m) A very young hand will see, that if they had taken the Kt. with
King, Mate, or the loss of the Queen, must have ensued directly.
(n) " Kt. takes K. P." would also have been a good move. In that
case if White re-took the Kt., Black would take the Bishop, checking,
and thus gain the Rook. K in place of taking the Kt., Paris played
their Kt. to Q.'s second, Black might safely take it, on account of the
check at K. B.'s sixth. The move in the text, however, is unquestionably
stronger.
(o) li " Kt. to R.'s third," or " B.'s third," Pesth would have played
" B. to K. B.'s fifth (check)," then Q. to K.'s sixth, and finally B. to K.
Kt.'s fourth, mate.
^p) Wisely biding their time for taking the Knight, foreseeing it must
ultimately fafl.
(q) " R. to K. B. square" would have been unavailing, since Black
would have replied with R. to K. B. square also, secure in every way of
winning the Knight.
(r) In the present game there are some moves of undoubted excel
lence, and the second players evince no little skill in escaping from the
self-imposed restraint of their early position. Played indeed in the or
dinary manner between two opponents across the chess board, this game
would be entitled to rank among the best specimens of brilliant play ; but
when considered as a trial of skill betwixt the picked men of two great
clubs, as the result of three years' labour and deliberation, the impression it
leaves is certainly one of disappointment. There is nothing in its strategy
at all commensurate with the time and intellect expended on it. We

looked for an obstinate and long-contested struggle, full of vicissitudes
and hair breadth 'scapes ; and we find only a brief and ill-sustained skir
mish, in which the interest is at an end, and the result decided, before one-
half of the forces are in action.

Notes to the Pesth Game.

(a) The reply to Pesth's second move was the occasion of a very ani
mated discussion in the French camp, which terminated in the abrupt se
cession of M. des Chappelles from their councils. This distinguished
player was opposed, justly we think, to the adoption of K. Kt. to B. third,
a move newly brought into vogue by the Russian amateurs MM. Petroff
and Jaenisch, and which their subsequent analyses have condemned ; but
instead of recommending the acknowledged and well-tried answer, " Q.
Kt. to B.'s third," he strangely enough insisted on the substitution of
another bizarre move, " K. B. s P. two," still more prejudicial to the
interests of the second player. After a good deal of controversy, in the
course of which the veteran proffered to play the defence single-handed
against the whole Commission, the majority decided in favour of" K. Kt.
to B.'s third," and M. des Chappelles quitted the club. An able analy
sis of the disputed move was afterwards published by the Committee, and
left no doubt of their propriety in rejecting it.
(6) There is nothing like actual play for testing the value of new sug
gestions. In the elaborate examination of this pet opening by M. Jae
nisch, the present move, which is a very probable and a very important
one, appears to have been quite overlooked. M. Jaenisch makes the first
player move Q. to her Kt.'s third at once.
(c) If this be the best move loft for Black, their Monarch totters
alrcadv.
THE (HESS PLAYER'S CHRONICLE. 163
(d) These moves result from a profound investigation of the opening.

The sort of coup de repos, to await the advance of the enemy's K. B. P.,
was a master touch.
(e) This and many moves to come form connecting links in the admi
rable combination of the Hungarians, and were evidently foreseen when
the Q. was played to her B.'s second.
(/') Is there any thing better to be done by Black at this juncture ?
B. to Q. B.'s square would compel the Queen to take the Rook. But
cui bono ? Could she then be caught ? We doubt it.
(g~) With the view to plant the Kt. at Q.'s fourth.
(h) The same moves, Kt. to Q. B.'s fifth and B. to Q. B.'s second,
were persisted in for weeks by both parties. Pesth having the first game
virtually won, were content to draw this without farther trouble. In the
end, Paris, as they must lose equally whether they drew or lost, the pre
sent party decided on venturing another move.
(t) All this denotes an admirable insight of the position. White see
clearly that every exchange now strengthens the advantage they have
acquired.
(A) Not only protecting the Kt., but affording a speedier route for the
King to sustain his Pawns.
(0 B. to Q. sixth would permit the White to play their Q. Kt.'s P. one
square, with advantage.
(m) The poor Black have no resource ; they must endure the agony
of a lingering dissolution.
(n) Longer resistance would be frivolous and vexatious, and the French
men with good grace resign. How far their defeat is attributable to the
dissensions among their party at the outset, it is not for us to say. The
loss of M. des Chappelles was to be regretted, certainly, but it was of far
less import than the secession of M. Kieseritzki, which was irreparable.
Another of his fathom they had not ; and it is evident that afterwards
they were completely outplayed, crushed in a manner, by the superior
weight and talent of the adverse band .

Capt. Evans, may perhaps be interesting to your readers. It is, I believe,
the only preserved partie between these distinguished players which has

Notes to Game 920.

(a) Checking with the Kt. while under the threatened mate, would
clearly have cost him a piece.
(b) We should have played in preference Q. to her B.'s second.
(c) This part of the game is neatly played by Mr. Slous.
(d) Had he taken the Bishop, and then Q.'s P. with his Kt. Black
would have come off a Rook plus, by taking the R. and then playing R.
to Q. fifth.

(c) Threatening to take off the King's Kt. and then plant the Rook at
K.'s seventh. The young player will comprehend the importance of this
ftook, so placed, by the following moves, which are likely to follow when
the Rook is played thus. Let us suppose White had now the move.

which prevails, from the unfair and partial way in which Mr. G e's

CHESS IN AMERICA.
To the Editor of the Chess Player's Chronicle.

Boston, May 1st., 1846.
Sir,—It may be gratifying to you to learn, that in New-England the
truly regal recreation of " Chesse Playe," is duly appreciated, as well as in
other portions of the world. During the last autumn, strenuous exertions
for the establishment of a Chess Club in Boston, were crowned, I rejoice
to say, with entire success ; and the Society at present numbers its forty
members, several of whom may be found in attendance nightly at the
Club-room, which is pleasantly situated in a central and elegant part of
the City. The price of subscription is ten dollars per annum; and as
Treasurer, I am happy to find, that after defraying necessary expenses, we
have been enabled to procure a complete set of your valuable Magazine

from its commencement ; Lewis's late treatise ; and the Illustrated News ;
all highly prized in this quarter ; and I hope soon to be able to add the
long-promised translation of De Lasa. You will thus perceive, that
the literary attractions of our club are by no means of an inferior order ;
and as to the playing, if the quantity be not very commendable, we have,
cartes., nothing to complain of in point of quality. It appears to me, how
ever, that one or two of us may safely lay claim to the highly respectable,
if not honourable distinction of " third rate." In Notices to Correspond
ents, in the January number of the Chronicle, " Puttino " is reassured
that mate can be forced in two moves at the termination of game 847. If
he has discovered how to do this, he must be surely a greater player than
his namesake of old. If I mistake not, the following is the position, and
if mate by force be really practicable in two moves, please elucidate.—
White. Black.
K. at K. R. fourth K. at K. Kt. second
R. at K. B. third R. at Q. R. seventh
B. at Q. fifth B. at K. fourth
P.'s at K. seventh and Q. B. fourth P.'s at K. R. fourth, K. Kt. third
and Q. B. fourth
Here is a variation of the K. Bishop's Gambit, to which, with an apology
for my unintentional prolixity, I respectfully invite your attention.—
White. Black.
3. K. B. to B. fourth 3. K. Kt. P. two
4. K. R. P. two 4. K. B. to K. second
It seems to me indeed surprising, that the most eminent authorities
(who, by the way are not, if I rightly remember, perfectly unanimous in
what they recommend for White's fifth move) should all fail to suggest
"5. Q. to K. R. fifth!" the obvious move, and apparently the best. Black's
only reply, worth consideration, is " Q. P. one, or two," with a good-for-
nothing game. During a recent visit to New York, I enjoyed the pleasure
of a few games with several of their leading players. One oi these parties,
occurring between Mr. Thompson and myself, was sent to you by my
friend Mr. Stanley, in his letter of March 30th., as he subsequently in
formed me. As this game (although I chanced to win it) did not strike
me as a very creditable specimen of skill, I am induced to give you the
score of a few other skirmishes, which appear rather more tolerable in
point of merit and interest. Also, a position arising in play with another
member of the Boston Chess Club, which, as it puzzled a few of our
amateurs, might possibly serve to entertain some of your "young readers."

The game with Mr. Stanley, appended, occurred in a match, it may be
due to him to state, in which he won five, drew two, and lost but two, out
of nine.—Should any of these trifles be deemed worthy of a " niche " in
the " Chess Player's Chronicle" I can only say that you are cordially
welcome to them ; and with my best wishes for your continued success,
I remain, Sir,
Very respectfully, &c.
George Hammond.

THE CHESS PLAYER'S CHRONICLE. \83
Notes to Game 23.

(a) The first player has now an excellent game, and his opponent,
chiefly from the mistake of adopting such a defence as " Q. P. one " at
his second move, has a proportionably bad one.
(b) Having so fine a position, White appears to play as if any reflection
before moving was quite uncalled for. A moment's consideration would
have shewn that this move involves the loss of a piece.
(c) He has nothing better to do. The piece is lost. If, instead of
taking with the Bishop, the Kt. takes P., Black would take Kt. with Kt. ;
and, after the B. had taken Kt., would check with his Q., and then take
Bishop with his Q. P. So, also, if, in lieu of taking the Pawn at all, he
move the Bishop to Q. R. fourth, Black equally gains the piece by playing
Q. B. to K. B. fourth.
(d) The play on both sides is incredibly weak. After gaining a piece,
Black is now compelled, by this blunder, to give one up in return, or sacri
fice his Queen.
(e) From this point to the conclusion, White's play is so deplorably
bad, that it would be waste of time to comment on it in detail.

Notes to Game 24.

(a) This game is opened with remarkable care and prudence on both
sides.
(b) Threatening to win a piece shortly, by advancing the Q.'s Pawn two
squares.
(c) Imperative, for preserving the Kt.'s Pawn.
(d) He might have gained three Pawns for a piece by taking the King's
Pawn with his Kt.
(e) The only move to save the Pawn, for Q. to her B.'s third would have
been unavailing.
(/) Black is driven to this abject defence for a time to preserve his
Pawns.
(g) Well played. To understand the merit of this move, the student
should observe that during the whole of the attack and defence on the
Q.'s side, Black has been looking for that moment to throw forward his
Q.'s Pawn, when White, by taking it en passant, would expose an unpro-
\
teeted piece to the range of the Black King's Bishop. Hitherto White
has very cleverly thwarted him, and effectually prevented his advancing
the Pawn beneficially ; but now, having his Q.'s Rook bearing on the file,
he changes his tactics, and seemingly affords his adversary the very oppor
tunity desired ; since if Black at this point plays on his Q.'s Pawn, White
cannot take it in passing without losing his Kt. Upon looking into the
position, however, it will be seen that if Black throws forward his Q.'s
Pawn, White, instead oftaking it en passant, would simply take it with his
Kt. ; and if the Kt. were taken, would win the adverse Queen, by the
check of the Bishop.
(h) An important move, far better than playing the Bishop to his square
at once, because it compels his adversary to make a move in some degree
prejudicial to his game.
(i) Black has now an irresistible position. He threatens to gain a piece
by pushing on the Q. Kt's. Pawn, and also to play his B. to Q. Kt.
second.
(4) The ingenuity of desperation ; he sacrifices " the Exchange, " for
the purpose, if possible, of playing his Queen to K's. fifth.
(/) He would evidently have lost the game by taking the Bishop. The
present move not only gives White no time to plant his Queen at the
King's fifth, but prevents another very dangerous move, viz. R. to Q.'s
fifth.
[Thispartie, making the 21st of those actually lost and won, concludes
the match, and gives a final score of fourteen to the English Player ;
seven to his adversary, and three drawn games. The result, we believe,
was not unexpected : some difference of opinion might exist as to the
probable numerical majority on Mr. Staunton's side ; but, the Chess
community at large concurred in thinking Mr. Horwitz over-matched—
and many eminent players with whom we have spoken, confess they
anticipated a still more striking manifestation of the inequality of the
combatants. We believe it must be admitted, the play of the winner is
not at all times up to the standard of his former efforts, and that with a
little more care and exertion he might have added to his score ; but the
majority is quite sufficient to set at rest all question as to which is the
stronger player ; and although the quality of some of the games is not
such as we have a right to look for in such a contest, yet among the
twenty-four played, there are many of undoubted excellence ; and the
deficiencies of the remainder are more than compensated by the gratifica
tion every lover of Chess must feel at the introduction through this
match of so accomplished a master as Mr. Horwitz has shewn himself.
The departure of Mr. Cochrane, unquestionably the second player of the
day in England, left a void in our Chess ranks which we long despaired
of seeing adequately filled ; it is, therefore, with no little gratification we
recognize in Mr. Horwitz a worthy occupant of his high place. Educated
in the very best modern school of Chess play—a compatriot and contem
porary of Manteufel, Mendheim, Bilguer, Bledow, Heydebrant, &c. &c, he

has acquired a knowledge of the game but rarely met with. If less original
and brilliant than Mr. Cochrane, ofwhom he, more than any player, reminds
us, he has certainly the advantage of greater learning and steadiness, so
that while his inspirations are fewer, his faults likewise are less frequent.
Both are players of undoubted genius, both remarkable for the energy and
daring of their attack, as well as for the rapidity of their conceptions, and
both somewhat apt in their eager application of the sword to throw away
the shield. Those who would pursue the parallel, will find abundant
scope in comparing the games of Mr. Horwitz in the present match with
those to be found in the " Chess Player's Chronicle, " which were played
by Mr. Cochrane against the same opponent; and, having done so, few, if
any, we think, will be disposed to question the right of the former to the
position we have ventured to assign him.]

YORKSHIRE CHESS ASSOCIATION.

The annual festival to commemorate the establishment of this excellent
Institution was held at Wakefield on the 13th ult., and was numerously
and brilliantly attended. In addition to a crowd of visitors from the
neighbouring towns of Leeds, Halifax, Huddersfleld, Hull, Nottinghami
&c, the Members had on this occasion the special novelty of receiving
M. St. Amant, the well-known French Chess Player, as their guest.
We have no space this month to dilate upon the good things eaten and
said ; but must content ourselves by presenting instead the following
interesting partie, played during the Tournament, between the Lion of
the day and Mr. John Rhodes of Leeds, M. St. Amant giving the odds

And after several more moves, Black abandoned the game.
%* Upon the conclusion of this game, a slight skirmish came off be
tween M. St. Amant and Mr. Walker ; but it was so carelessly played by
the Frenchman, and is so vastly beneath his ordinary powers, that it
would not be fair to make it public. Another game was begun by the
same parties, in which, as our informant depones, Mr. St. Amant had
acquired a decided advantage, when the announcement of dinner put an
end to the contest.
Oor Metropolitan Chess circle has just received an important though

brief accession in the arrival of Mr. Schulten, en route to Germany from
the United States. During the few days of his stay, Mr. S. has enjoyed
the advantage of encountering Mr. Horwitz, Captain Kennedy, and others
of our leading amateurs, with whom he has played several interesting
and well-contested parties. Most of these were not preserved, but we
are enabled to present a few played against Mr. Horwitz, which, as usual
with the games of that gentleman, are remarkable for the dash and energy
of the attack—

And after a move or two more, White surrendered.
Notes to Game 928.
(a) This is a very good defence to the Scotch game, but it is better
perhaps to first play K. B. to Q. B. fourth, and then, when the adversary,
as his best, " moves Q. B. P. one," to bring out the Kt.
(6) An insidious move : with the object of afterwards playing to Q.
B.'s third.
(e) If instead of taking the Kt., Mr. S. had played B. to Q.'s third,
threatening to mate or win the Queen, Black would have played Kt. to
Q. B. fifth, checking, and compelling White to capture the Kt., &c.

Notes to Game .
(a) This ingenious device for getting the Evans' gambit attack in the
hands of the second player, is the invention of Mr. Horwitz.
(4^ Black plays capitally from this point.
(c) It is not often in actual play, one sees so pretty a mate.

Notes to Game 931.

(a) The position is now resolved into a variation of the K. B.'s gambit.
(6) Verv hazardous.
(c) White evidently could not take the Rook, before he compelled the
Q. to retire, because his opponent could have taken B. with B., winning
at once.
(rf) This was unwise : he would have gained important time by letting
Black take the Kt. with his Rook.
(e) Badly judged : " B. to K. R. sixth " was the proper move.
*,* It is fair to observe, that the above four games, played by Mr.
Schulten immediately after a long sea-voyage, are much below the mark
of his ordinary play.
Almost at the moment of going to Press, we were gratified by the an

nouncement of another distinguished visitor from abroad, in the person of
Mr. Harwitz, the well known competitor with Mr. Kieseritzki in the
blindfold parties at Paris. Mr. Harwitz has not yet had time to enter the
lists against any of our leading players, but the following clever games
with which he has favoured us, may afford some indication of the position
in our ranks to which he is entitled.

Notes to Game 935.

(a) Up to this point all is secundem artem, the play on each side being
that decided by the sages to be the best which this branch of Captain
Evans's beautiful opening admits of.
(b) Instead of this move, " K. Kt. to B.'s third," is recommended.
(c) This appears an effectual answer to Black's sally with his Q.'s
Bishop.
(d) The disadvantageous position of the King is certainly not com
pensated by the gained Pawn.
(e) Black loses too much time.
(/) It is impossible apparently to save the piece.
(g) This is fatal. Play as he can, however, his King is so exposed
that defeat is inevitable.
(A) Threatening to check with his Queen at her B.'s sixth ; and if the
Kt. takes, to mate next move. A very neat termination.

Notes to Game 938.

(a) " R. to K.'s eighth " would have been irresistible.
(b) In this position we should be inclined to take the K. B. P. with
Bishop. IfBishop takes B., mate follows on the move; if Q. takes B., "K.
to K. B.'s third" wins her for Rook and Bishop ; and iij instead of taking
the Bishop, Black checks with his Q. at her seventh, R. interposes, and
White ought to have a winning game.
(c) Intending to gain the Queen by playing Rook to K. R.'s second.
(d) " Rook to Q.'s third " appears to us a better move, since it compels
Black to exchange his Queen for the two pieces, or suffer the loss of his
Bishop.

Notes to Game 942.

(a) A needless precaution, since Black could not take the Rook
without losing his Queen.
(6) To prevent the Knight being played to K.'s fifth.
(c) Threatening to take the K. R. P. with his Queen. This part of
the game is extremely well played by Mr. Schulten.
(d) With the view to take the K. B.'s Pawn with his Kt., and if the
Pawn took Kt., Mate with his Q. at K. R.'s sixth. He also threatens to
win by taking Kt. P. with Rook, checking.
(e) This was important because Black promised to take the K. B. P.
with his Rook, leaving the adverse R. unguarded.
(f) Intending to change Queens.
(g) Almost the only chance of saving the game.
(A) Threatening to mate either at K. Kt. seventh or K. B.'s seventh.
(i) This move should have lost White the Game, which he might have
drawn by force ingeniously enough, as follows :—
33. R. takes K. R. P. (check)
34. P. takes R. 34 P. to K. Kt. sixth (check)
35. R. takes P. (only move.) 35. P. takes R. (check)
36. K. to Kt. square ; (because if 36. Kt. takes P. (check)
King takes P., White checks at
K. B.'s fourth and wins)
37. K. to Kt. second 37 Kt. to R. fifth (check)
(Ifto B. square,White Q. checks (and draws by perpetual check.)
at her R. third)
(A) " K. to Kt. square " would have won the Game.

Notes to Game 946.
(a) An unlooked for slip in so laboured a , er.
(b) After the first false step of losing his ,t., White plays parts of
this game remarkably well.
(c) A very thoughtless and objectionable move
(d) By playing Kt. to K.'s fifth, the game were won off-hand.

Notes to Game 947.

(a) He would have played very ill, in moving the Q. R.'s P. instead of
B.'s P.
(J) The obvious move is Q. to her second, but that would lose the
game, since White might take the Q. B.'s P. with impunity.
(c) " K. Kt.'s P. two " would also have gained a Pawn.
(d) The Pawn was equally lost, whether he took with Q.'s or K.'s Kt.
(e) Having two Pawns for the Kt. given at the opening, Black is not
indisposed to the exchange of Queens.
(/) By taking the Q.'s Pawn, he would have lost at least " the
exchange. "
(g) The best move.
(A) Much better play than K. Kt.'s P. two.
(i) Had he gone to Q.'s fourth again, Black would have won his Bishop.

CHESS IN GERMANY.
With the accompanying extract from an interesting communication of
Mr. Von Heyderrant, we have the pleasure of presenting two fine games
lately played by him against M. Lowenthai. of Pesth. " At Vienna,
you know, there are many players, but none of established fame. We
had, lately, a visit of the two players from Pesth—Messrs. Grimm and
Lowenthai ; who, with M. Szen, composed the committee for playing the
Match against Paris. Mr. Grimm was here for business, in which he was
much occupied ; and seemed, besides, not to be in good health. I had
some hasty games with him, and won them. The second guest,
Mr. Lowenthal, after a sojourn at Grafenberg, paid a visit to Berlin and

Breslaw, of which Mr. Bledow will, doubtless, furnish the particulars in an
early Number of his forthcoming Magazine. At Vienna, I had seven
games with Mr. Lowenthal, who is a fine player—equally agreeable and
accomplished in play. He semed highly pleased with his reception at
Berlin, and spoke of returning there, if possible, in the course of the
present summer, and of persuading M. Szen to accompany him. Our
first two games were drawn—they are not yet printed, and I send you a
copy of them. The result of the remaining five was to my advantage,
through Mr. L.'s persistance in playing, three times, the Evans's gambit
attack."

NEW CHESS PERIODICAL.
The accompanying Prospectus of a new monthly Chess Review, to be

published in Germany under the sanction and with the assistance of the
ablest masters of the day, will be hailed with delight wherever a taste for
our noble game has penetrated.
CHESS JOURNAL,
To be issued Monthly by the Berlin Chess Club, and
EDITED BY L. BLEDOW.
"Among intellectual exercises, Chess may be ranked partly as an Art,
and partly as a Science. It may be termed a science, because, based upon
the laws of strict logic, it partakes of the nature of mathematical calcu
lation ; and it may be called an art, since it calls into play the repro
ductive faculties of memory, and the creative powers of invention and
combination. These sometimes give it a character truly original. It is
these two peculiarities which have for centuries acquired for the game
of Chess, (if what approaches so nearly to science may be called a game,)
so high a rank in the estimation of intellectual nations. It is these
characteristics which render Chess worthy of being classed and treated
as an actual Science.
"Since the Portuguese player Damiano, and the Spaniard Rui Lopez,
profound masters in all countries have endeavoured to establish a theory
of Chess. The last age is especially fertile in attempts of the kind.
We will here only refer to the sound and learned labours of the English
authors, to the " Analyse Nouvelle " of Major Jaenisch, and the Handbook
of Bilguer and Von H. De Laza. Though every nation has contributed
in some degree to the literature of Chess, yet the most important
Treatises upon the subject have been issued from England and France.
The amateurs of these countries also first felt the necessity of establishing
an organ, that, appearing at certain periods, and in a more convenient
and detached form than the more voluminous theoretical Treatises,
should, without losing sight of theory, communicate a knowledge of the
most interesting games, problems, openings and endings ofgames, &c. &c,
to the Chess-loving public. For this purpose was established in Paris,
in 1836, Le Palamede, Revue Mensuele, &c, and in London in 1841,
The Chess Player's Chronicle.
" The fact that these perodicals not only found support and encourage
ment in the countries of their birth, but obtained also in other nations a
large circle of admirers, especially in Germany, assures us that a similar
U26 THE CHESS PLAYER'S CHRONICLE.
native publication, commenced and carried on in the proper spirit, would

meet with the like success.
" From the very nature of a Chess Journal, it is apparent that its esta
blishment and continuance must depend less upon the pen ofan individual,
than the communications and intelligence derived from the nation at large.
The Members of the Beriin Chess Club have therefore long felt the wish
to unite in one form the knowledge and skill which exist in Germany, in
the shape of contributions to this undertaking. With this object, we
earnestly solicit all who interest themselves in the support and dissemi
nation of the game of Chess, to unite their efforts to ours, and by
communications of the description required for such a periodical, to place
us in a position to present to the reading public a sound and instructive
organ.
" The scope of our publication is intended to comprise the following
points : —
" 1. Every number will ordinarily contain longer or shorter Historical
Treatises upon Authors who have written on Chess, or the distinguished
players of past and present time ; Biographies, Necrologies, &c. &c.
" 2. Criticisms, Treatises on Openings and Endings of Games, or impor
tant and partly disputed Laws of Chess, will form the principal objects of
the periodical ; and we especially anticipate on these subjects contribu
tions and critiques from accomplished Amateurs.
" 3. An important section of the paper will be devoted to such games as
are of universal interest. Not only Matches between players of the first
and second rank, but also parties between opponents of unequal powers,
where proportionate odds are given, will find a place in our pages. In
order to render intelligible to beginners the different combinations
of the first class of games, as well as the errors, mistakes, and unsound
calculations or faulty openings in the games of the second class, the
necessary explanatory notes will always be appended.
"4th. To gratify the lovers of Problems, we shall furnish various
kinds ; not alone those arising from actual play, but also positions con
structed of greater or less degrees ofdifficulty, for the purpose of exercising
their skill.
"5 th. Every novelty in the world of Chess will be immediately trans
ferred to our pages.—Especially it will be our endeavour to communicate
to the public the course of pending games played by correspondence.
" 6th. The authors and publishers of new works may feel a confidence
that all books sent for criticism will meet with due attention ; and we shall
not only labour to disseminate a knowledge of such works, but shall pre
sent a searching and complete review of them. In addition to the above-
named points, we hope, by contributions of an Historical and Philosophi
cal tendency, and sometimes in a poetical form, to insure our readers

an agreeable and instructive miscellany ; and we trust that the under
taking which love for the game, and belief in its usefulness, have prompted
us to commence, will meet with that encouragement which the intellectual
activity and progress of the present age induce us to expect it will.
" Chess Club, Berlin, March, 1846.
u *^» The Journal will appear on the 1st of July, and be continued in
monthly parts, of from one to two sheets.—The yearly subscription is
fixed at ten shillings ; and as the publication of the Magazine will in fu
ture be commenced at the beginning of the year, the subscription for the
half of the year, from the 1st of July to the end of the year, will be five
shillings.
" The names ofBledow, Hanstein, Von Heydebrant, De Laza, Von Jaen-
isch, Mayet, and other distinguished players, who have already promised
their assistance, lead us to anticipate not only a full list of Subscribers,
but that we shall hereafter be enabled to increase the size of the publica
tion. In conclusion, we beg to request the leading Chess Players, and
heads of the most important Clubs, to circulate this Prospectus, and col
lect the names of subscribers, in order that, as the Printers will commence
in a short time, the probable number of impressions may be determined.
" Further particulars of the Chess Journal may be obtained in Berlin, of
Veit & Co., Booksellers, Berlin ; and Williams & Norgate, Henrietta
Street, Covent Garden, London."

PROBLEM No. 280.

This remarkably skilful and difficult position is the invention of
M. Kling.
During a recent visit to Brighton, Mr. Staunton enjoyed the pleasure

of a few days' play with two or three of the leading Members of the
promising and agreeable Chess Society, which is held at the Albion
Reading Rooms. His chief competitors on this occasion were the Pre
sident, Captain Kennedy, and a young but very promising Member, Mr.
J. W. Hannah. With these gentlemen, giving to the former the odds of
Pawn and two moves, and to the latter a Knight, and subsequently a
Rook, Mr. S. played in all four matches, and had the good fortune in
each instance to come ofF victorious.

Notes to Game 958.

(a) Had Black taken the K. Kt. P., he would have lost the game.
(6) Taking the K. Kt. P. would have been very imprudent. The pre
sent move is good, because it attacks the adversary's Q.'s P., and thus
prevents him playing his K.'s Kt.
(c) The only safe move.
(d) Fearing the Q.'s Kt. would be played to Kt.'s fifth.
(e) A very attacking move.
(/) This seems an exceedingly hazardous step to venture in a match
game, but Black thoroughly investigated all consequences before risking
it ; and at the end of the contest proved clearly by variations, of whk'h
the following are an abstract, that White would have lost the game by
advancing the K. Kt.'s P. two squares, to attack the Kt. and Queen.
Let us suppose—
White. Black.
13. K. Kt. P. two 13. Q. takes K. R. P.
15. Q. Kt. to K. Kt. third (best) 15. Kt. takes Q. P.
16. B. to K. second (best) 16. Kt. takes B. (check)
17. Q. takes Kt. 17. K. B. P. one
18. B. takes P. 18. Castles on the K.'s side, re
gaining the piece with an easy
winning position.
(g) Intending to gain a Pawn by taking the K. Kt. P. with the Queen.
(h) Threatening to win the Rook by checking with his Bishop at
K. R. seventh.
('') Had he taken the Q. R. P., White might have played Q. to her
U.'s fourth: sure of winning at least a Pawn in return.
(k) This is far from well played : the object appears have been to get
Black's Q. out of play, by permitting her to capture the Q. R.'s P. ; but
White omitted to observe that he left a far more valuable pawn at the
mercy of his adversary.
(I) By taking the Bishop, he would have afforded White a chance of
drawing the game.
(m) It is clear that Black would have gained a piece in return, had his
Bishop been taken.

Notes to Game 959.

(a) Most imprudent. By simply playing Q. to K. R.'s fifth, the game
must have been won in a few moves.
(b) From this point, the attack is kept up by White with undiminished
skill to the end.
(c) The position is one of intense difficulty for both players. Had he
played Q. to K. R.'s fifth (the obvious move), White would have taken the
K. Kt.'s P.
(d) K. to K. second would have lost the Q.
(e) The best move.

Notes to Game 960.
(a) Threatening to push on his K.'s Pawn, a move completely destruc
tive of White's game under present circumstances.
(b) This and the four or five subsequent moves dependent on it, are
capitally played by White.
(c) In this position, Black's game looks perfectly secure and well deve
loped, but the adversary's next few moves show that it was utterly
unstable and defenceless.
(d) Very well played.
(e) This was not making the best of a bad situation ; "Kt. to K. B.
square," and if the K.'s P. came on, "R. to Kt.'s second" would have
warded off the attack for some time.
if) If, instead of this precipitate capture, he had played Q. to K.'s
sixth, the game was his own.
(g) Very hazardous. " K.'s Pawn one," would have been a much better
move.
(h) A tempting move, as it threatens, upon the removal of the Bishop,
to give Mate in a move or two, but in reality it is not so sound and good
as taking the K.'s P. would have been.
(t) Had he played the B. to K. B. square, Black would have mated him
in three moves.
(k) The conclusion of this game is unusually instructive and in
teresting.
(I) Few players, in the deciding game ofa match, which this was, would
have been inclined to risk the sacrifice of the Kt. It was not rashly made,
however, but after much examination ; and we believe will be found to be
the olny mode of winning the game in Black's power.
(m) Had he taken the Q. Kt. P., Black would still have played Q. P.
one, and have won without trouble.

Notes to Game 961.
(a) The Kt. had no safe retreat, this was therefore by far the best
mode of play.
(b) The attack is extremely well sustained by Captain Kenne3y
throughout.
(c) This is all unavailing : White has one move in reserve (the Q. to
her fifth), which completely nullifies Black's attack.
(d) But for this saving clause, Black might sacrifice one Rook, and then
push K. B. P. on ; as it is, however, White can always take the R. with
Q., leaving the adverse Q. «n prize, and thus win easily. The position is
very instructive.

Notes to Game 964.
(a) This is to enable him to play away his Q. without being subjected
to the dangerous check at Q. R. fourth.
(b) Had he taken the Kt., Black would have got a fine position by
taking the R. with his P.
(c) Far better than winning the mere exchange.
(d) Having in view presently the terrible check with his Kt. at K.
B.'s sixth.
(e) An exceedingly difficult move to parry.
(./") Had he played K. R. to Q. Kt. square, Black's game would have
been still more favourable. The move in the text we believe to be the
best on the board.
(g) It may be observed here, that the long impending check with
White's Kt., could never be made with effect ; because Black, after tak
ing it, would cover the check of the Q., discovering check himself on the
adverse King.
(h) This was made under a misconception, that he could afterwards
attack the Bishop, and gain at least a Pawn in return.

Notes to Game 965.

(a) " Q- P. one," and when the Kt. moved, " K.'s P. one," would have
been much stronger play.
(b) This and the preceding move are miserably weak.
(c) The advance of this Pawn is not so potent now, since the Queen's
square is open for the Kt.
(d) With the view to take P. with P., and then play R. to Queen's
seventh.
(e) After this, the game is irredeemable.

Notes to Game 966.

(a) We are puzzled to comprehend the purpose of this strange
move.
(b) This appears to have been played without reflection, for Black
might have taken the P. so freely offered without any apprehension
(c) P. takes P., or Q.'s Kt. P. two, would have been far more effective.
(d) Surely the doubling and isolating the P. here, was not called for.
(e) Better perhaps to have given an outlet to the King.
(f) A good move.
(g-) It was impossible to save the Kt. Had he played it to Kt. square,
Black would have replied with R. to R. eighth, and afterwards P. to K.
seventh.

This is an interesting partie played last week at the Old London Chess

Notes to Game 967.

(a) By this step, White appears to us not only to lose the advantage
of his first move, but to compromise his game into the bargain.
(6) We much prefer Q. P. one, the move played at this point in the
late games between Messrs Staunton and Horwitz.
(c) Black Queen's P. having been played, prevents his adversary taking
the K. B. P. with effect, instead of retreating the Kt. When the Queen's
P. is unmoved in similar situations, White may always take the B.'s P.
with his Kt. secure of coming off a gainer in the end.
(rf) This was imprudent, they should have first dislodged the adverse
K. Kt. The present move loses a Pawn at least
(e) Correctly played.
(j) This is quite characteristic of Mr. Horwitz's dashing forward
style.
(g) They might have avoided this terrible sacrifice, by taking the
K. B. P. with the Rook, leaving the Queen en prise, and in that case if
Black took the Queen he would have lost the game.
* Up to this stage, the game had occupied two sittings of several hours
each; it was now again postponed, but with the general opinion that it must be
drawn.

Note to Game 968.

(a) The opening of this game is lively, and not uninstructive.
(6) White has a full equivalent for the Pawn in the free development
of his forces so early in the struggle.
(c) Both players appear to have overlooked a very effectual mode of
winning for White at this point. If, instead of checking at Q. B.'s fifth,
he had simply played Q. to K. B.'s third (check), nothing could save the
game.
(d) Kt. to K. fourth would perhaps have been better.
(e) We should have preferred R. to K. Kt. square.
GAMES PLAYED WITHOUT BOARD OR MEN.

Between Messrs. Kieseritzki and Harwitz.
A few days since we had the gratification of being present at one of
those remarkable exhibitions of the power of memory, for which these
distinguished players have become renowned. We had been apprized of
their intention to play a blindfold game at the London Chess Club on
one of the evenings of meeting last week, and the appointed hour found
us in the club-room, surrounded by a numerous assemblage of the most
eminent players in the Metropolis. Shortly after entering the room, M.
Kieseritzki requested we would name any particular opening for the
debut ; and also, which player should begin the game. Contenting our
selves by suggesting the " Scotch " opening, as a game fertile both in
attack and defence, we left the question of who should begin to be deter
mined by the belligerents themselves, and it was settled that Mr. Harwitz
should open the fight. The parties then retired to opposite corners of
the apartment, and the game was commenced and carried through with
a rapidity and an accuracy as astonishing as it was interesting. The
game we saw, consisting of thirty-four moves, terminated in less than an
hour ; and during the most difficult and complex calculations, we do not
believe that either party exceeded two minutes in reflecting upon the
move to be made. In addition to the partie we had the pleasure of
witnessing, the politeness of M. Perigal enables us to present another
played under the same extraordinary circumstances, on a preceding
evening ; and which is even more remarkable for point and brilliance than
the former.

Notes to Game 969.

(a) This is extremely well conceived.
(6) It was pretty generally thought that this move should have been
made earlier.
(c) If he had taken the Kt. at this moment, Mr. H. would probably
have taken the K. Kt. P. with his Q., and then have played Kt. to Q.
fifth (discovering check).
(d) This brings the adverse Q. to the protection of the K. Kt. P., a
circumstance not contemplated we believe when the B. took Kt.
(e) This loses the game : he ought to have taken K. P. with his Kt.
(check), and then he would have had the better position.

CHESS IN AMERICA.
From the New York " Spirit of the Times?'

" The following game was played by correspondence between New York
and Norfolk some six years ago ; it has already appeared in the columns
of this paper, and has also been copied into the various Chess periodicals
both of London and Paris. Under these circumstances we are only in
duced once more to direct the attention of amateurs to the same object,
at the particular request of several of our New York friends, who are of
the opinion that certain remarks made by M. St. Am ant in ' Le Pala-
mede,' on the conduct of the game at a particular period, are calculated
to detract from the credit which is justly due to their victorious fellow-
citizens.
" Finding ourselves placed in the very delicate position of ' Umpire ' in
this case, we now republish the game in question, subjoining also a trans
lation of M. St. Amamt's criticisms, on the subject of which we further
add a few remarks of our own."

New York mates in four moves.
Notesfrom Le Palamede.
" (a) Messrs. G. Walker and Lewis have analyzed this move, which
gives some attack to the second player Calvi (Course of Chess, Pala
mede, 3d. lesson vol. i. p. 98) condemns it.
(6) The hest move. K. Kt. P. might be pushed two squares, or K.
played to his B. square. The move played by Norfolk is acknowledged
to be superior.
(e) This is the move indicated by Lewis. G. W. recommends Q. P.
two. The latter move I think more brilliant ; the one played, probably,
more solid, and consequently preferable in a match by correspondence.
(d) This sacrifice, which should have given a losing game to the New
York players, is eventually the cause of their winning it. This may be
called "luck" at Chess.*
(e) The Norfolk players here commit a radical error. They should
have captured Rook with B. They lose time, and consequently the bene
fit of the exchange. Had they, on the contrary, taken Rook with Bishop,
the adverse party would have been obliged to take Pawn with Queen,f
which would have caused an exchange of Queens ; for had Black then
captured the pawn with Kt., White would have taken K. B. P. with
Bishop, attacking Queen, and would have regained Pawn, remaining also
with the full benefit of an exchange.
(/) The apparent move of Q. to Kt. fifth, followed by moving her to
Rook's sixth, threatening mate, was correctly deemed useless by the New
York players. Norfolk would have been obliged to play K. R., to make
room for Bishop's being played to his own square, forcing Q. to retreat,
and averting mate."
* We cannot help thinking that M. St. Amant has been too hasty in
arriving at the conclusion which he now expresses ; in our opinion the
sacrifice referred to is perfectly sound, and we must protest against the
injustice of attributing the deserved success of this beautiful combination
to any thing like luck.
t Surely M. St. Amant could not seriously believe that the New York
players would " perpetrate " such a move as to take P. with Q. in the
position created by his supposed variation ? Supposing Norfolk to take R.
with B., we would suggest —
16. 16. B. to K. B. sixth
17. K. Kt. P. one 17. Q. to K. Kt. fifth
18. R. to K. 18. B. takes K. P. If
THE BERLIN CHESS JOURNAL.
The opening Number of this new Candidate for public favour has just
come to hand, and fully bears out the promise held forth in the prospec
tus which appeared in our last. Among its varied and excellent contents,
we may particularize the first of an intended scries of biographical papers
on the most distinguished Chess Authors ; an analysis of the clever varia
tion on the B ishop's Gambit invented by Mr. Schulten ; a brief review of
a new defence to the Queen's Gambit, by M. Kieseritzki ; some remarks
on the vexata questio of the Rook and Bishop against the Book ; a well
written and interesting article, on the subject of the Pawn-taking en
passant ; finally some excellent games and problems by the leading men
of Germany ; from the former of which we have extracted the following.
GAME DCCCCLXXV.
Between M. Von H. de Laza, and Herr Grimm, the President of the
Chess Club at Pesth.
White. (H. Grimm.) | Black. (V. H. L.)
3. K. B. to Q. Kt. fifth (check) 3. Q. B. to Q. second
5. K. Kt. to B. third 5. Kt. takes P.
10. Q. P. one I 10. P. takes P.
If White should now play B. to Q. third, Black would take K. B. P.

with B., checking, and win with facility ; and if he should play Q. to her
square, it would be necessary to sacrifice R. for B., in order to avoid cer
tain contingencies, par exemple—
19. Q. to Q. 19. Q. to K. R. sixth
20. B. to K. B. 20. B. takes K. B. P. (check)
21. K. takes B. 21. Kt. to Kt. fifth (check)
22. Q. takes Kt. (best) 22. Q. takes Q. &c.
Now, with the exception of these variations, it appears to us that White
has no plausible move but to surrender at once the temporary and imagin
ary advantage which he has obtained, by the immediate sacrifice of R.
for Q. B., which would certainly leave New York with a winning game.

Notes by » Mr. G."

(a) This does not seem a wise move, since it permits the adverse Q.'s
B. to become troublesome.
(6) The loss ofthis P. was inevitable, but Black gains more than com
pensation by taking possession in a few moves of the open field.
(c) From this point the attack is pursued with much energy.
GAME DCCCCLXXXI.
Our next games were the result of a petite match, got up under the
auspices of the London Chess Club, between Mr. Harrwitz and Mr.
WiiiiAMS. The contest was to consist of seven games, the winner of
the first four to be declared the victor. Five games, however, only were
played, of which two were drawn, and the remaining three won by the
German ; Mr. Wiixiams resigning the contest at the end of the fifth
game.

Notes to Game 981.

(a) This was a slip of Mr. Harrwitz, which might have cost him the
game.
(6) Instead of this weak, defenceless move, he should have played K.
to B. square, or Q. R. to K. sixth ; Black would then have had only
three or four useless checks, and White's attack must have proved
resistless.
(c) Black has played carelessly heretofore, but now he begins to look
about him in earnest.
(d) Very prettily played.
(e) He ought now to have moved R. to Q. R. fourth, drawing the game
by force : e. g.
White. I Black.
66. R. to Q. R. fourth 66. R. to Q. Kt. fifth (has he any
better move ?)
68. K. to Q. B. third 68. P. one
69. K. to Q. Kt. second
And play as Black may, the game will be drawn.
(/) Had the Kt. checked, White would have taken it with impunity,
his K. being stale-mated ifthe R. were captured in return.

Notes to Game 982.

(a) The last game having been drawn, Mr. Harrwitz should have
moved first in this, according to the rule prevalent all over the continent,
and in general use here now.
(6) This is all very cleverly played ; Mr. Harrwitz appearing deter
mined to make ample amends for any remissness in the previous game, by
the spirit and energy of his play in the present one.

Notes to Game 983.

(a) This is bold play, but Mr. II. seems to have learned pretty accu
rately, when he may venture these daring strokes.
(6) The whole of this combination is very neatly played.
(c) Ingeniously conceived. If the Kt. checks, Black simply moves hii
K., discovering check and mate.
GAMES WITHOUT SIGHT OF THE CHESS-BOARD

AND MEN.
By MM. Kieseritzkij and Harrwitz.
The fortunate arrival of these eminent artists in England at the same
time, has afforded the amateurs of London an opportunity of witnessing
such an exhibition of the faculty of playing without sight of the Chess
board, as rivals in its marvellous power, and perhaps surpasses in its
interest, the amazing performances in this way by the great Philidor
himself. In our last, we published a game or two played singly by these
gentlemen ; since then we had the satisfaction of being present at a
soiree, held at the London Chess Club, at which about seventy of the
leading players were assembled to see them play two games in the same
manner simultaneously. On this occasion, M. Kieseritzkij prefaced the
performance by an exposition of his new system of Chess notation, which
was listened to with the greatest interest and attention. At the termina
tion of the address, both players retired to their quarters, out of sight of
the Chess-tables, and commenced their arduous task, which it had been
agreed should consist of one game played against each other, and
simultaneously with this, one more to be played, in M. Kieseritzkij's
case, against the President of the Club, Mr. Mongredien, and by M.
Harrwitz, against the Honorary Secretary, Mr. Perigal. In this way
M. Kieseritzkij while contending with M. Harrwitz was engaged in
a fierce struggle with Mr. Mongredien, and M. Harrwitz in like man
ner, while battling with his old enemy, had a new antagonist on another
field, in the person of M. Perigal. The sort of double duel began
about 8 o'clock, and terminated about £ past 11, and during these three
hours and a-half of almost incredible mental exertion to the unseeing
players, neither party appeared in the least degree fatigued or at fault,
M. Kieseritzkij winning one game and losing the other, and M.
Harrwitz doing the same.
On the conclusion of the games, Mr. Staunton proposed a vote of
thanks to MM. Kieseritzkij and Harrwitz, for the pleasure they had so
kindly afforded the assembled spectators ; and after this compliment had
been paid by acclamation, the greater portion of the company adjourned
to participate in a handsome collation provided by the Club, and did not
separate till a late hour.
The following are the games played at this meeting, No. 984 between
MM. Kieseritzku and Haerwttz ; No. 985 between MM. Harrwitz
andPEMGAX ; and No. 985 between MM. Kieseritzku and Mohgredien.

GAME DCCCCLXXXV.
Played, simultaneously with the preceding, between Mr. Harrwitz and
and Mr. Perigal, Mr. Harrwitz playing without board or men. In this
game, to lessen the fearful mental fatigue of his opponent in conducting

(6) Masterly play ! Conceive the power of abstraction, of memory,
and combination, required to carry through this attack, while engaged in
conducting another and still more difficult game, blindfold also !
GAME DCCCCLXXXVI.
Played without seeing the chess-board, by M. Kieseritzkij while en
gaged in playing No. 985 with Mr. Harrwitz. In this partie M.
Kieseritzkij has for his opponent Mr. Mongredikn, the President of the

At another sitting, for the purpose of showing their facility of playing

without the hoard, Messrs. Kieseeitzkij and Harkwitz volunteered to
play a game against each other, and at the same time and also without
board br men, to play a game against Mr. Staunton, provided in both
cases he gave the odds of a Rook. The following are the games played
on this occasion :—

Notes to Game 987.

(a) In most cases when these gentlemen play sans board and men, to
prevent suspicion of prior arrangement between them, as to the games to
be played, they request some one to name the first few moves on each
side. The present unusual opening was suggested for the purpose of
throwing them as much as possible out of any routine track, and thus
testing their powers more effectually.
(6) White rapidly contrives to relieve himself from the constraint
imposed by the opening.
(c) White turns his gained Pawns to the utmost advantage by these
exchanges.
(d) Observe the precision and tenacity with which White follows up the
Bishop to gain opportunity to save his Pawn, or ensure an equivalent for
it; and remember that while executing these complicated manoeuverings,
he had the whole conduct of another game to recollect at the same
time.

Notes to Game 989.

(a) This seems his only chance to save the B.
(6) He might have safely taken the B., and when the Q. captured Ms
Kt., have played B. to K. Kt. fifth, threatening mate, and at the same
time exposing the adverse Q. to be taken by his K. R.
(c) B. to K. R. fourth, would perhaps have been still more forcible.
MATCH OF CHESS,
BETWEEN M. KIESERITZKIJ AND M. HORWITZ.
This match, from which so much amusement was anticipated, and
that has been looked forward to so anxiously by all acquainted with the
prowess of the combatants, has turned out, we regret to say, a most vexa
tious failure. At starting, M. Horwitz was the general favourite, but
long before the termination of the opening game the distressingly nervous
irritability of his manner showed all was not right ; and, as the contest
proceeded, it became painfully manifest that his recent indisposition
had rendered him utterly incompetent to bear the exertion of a hard
chess fight even for a single hour. Under these circumstances it would
have been prudent to adopt the advice of his medical friends, and have
postponed the conflict for a few weeks ; but the limited stay of his
opponent rendering any delay impracticable, it was decided to play out
the match, and the result is, M. Kieseritzkij has walked over the course,
and achieved a victory which, however satisfactory to his friends, still
leaves the question as to which is the better player, precisely where it
was before the match began.
The terms of play were, that the party winning seven games should be
declared the victor. Of the first six games, M. Hoewitz permitted his
opponent to gain five off-hand; and, although he subsequently roused
himself, and contrived to add three more games to his meagre score, the
head-way given his competitor was not to be recovered, and the final
numbers were—
Kieseritzkij ... 7 | Horwitz ... 4 | Drawn ... 0

Notes to Game 991.

(a) Black's pieces are all well out in play, and have much greater com
mand of the field than those of his antagonist.
(6) This and the next few moves of Black are extremely well played
by M. Kieseritzkij.
(c) He would obviously have lost his Q. on taking the R.
(d) In this situation, White's game appears irretrievable ; but M.
Horwitz, with a touch of his former self, contrives to escape, and come
out of the melee with an almost equal game.
(e) Here White relapsed again. He should have taken the B. ; and
then, looking to the exposed position of the adverse K., and--the strength
of White's P.s on the Q.'s side, it would be difficult to say which
party had the better game.

(a) The least reflection must have shown the ill consequences ofthis move.
(b) Very well conceived.
(c) Neatly projected. If White now take the foremost Q. Kt. P. with
his Rook, Black advances his Q. B. P. one square, thus attacking both
Rooks, by which manoeuvre he must win at least " the exchange."
(d) The termination of this game is ably played by M. Kieseritzkij.

Notes to Game 994.

(a) From this point, we should take Black's game for choice. He has
a clear Pawn plus, and ought to have no difficulty in bringing all his pieces
into play immediately.
(b) By this inconsiderate play, Black gives up all his advantage. It is
clear he could not take the R., because mate would have followed in a
few moves, but he might have played K. R. to B. fourth, or even K. R. P.
one, and have had a decided superiority.
(c) Two steps would have been better.
(d) The remainder of the game is deplorably played by Black.
(*) K. to Kt. fourth, with the object of playing K. B. P. one next move,
would have been stronger play.
ON THE PAWN TAKING A PAWN IN PASSING.

For some time the Chess savans, here and abroad, have been agitated
by a controversy whether a player whose King is in the position of stale
mate, through his adversary moving a Pawn two steps on his last move,
is bound to capture that Pawn with an intermediate Pawn in its passage,
or can permit it to abide on the square to which it has been moved, and
claim to be stale-mated. The disputed point will be best understood by
reference to a diagram ; let us suppose then, at the termination of a game
betwixt A. and B., the following situation to occur :—
In this position A., who has the Black men, advances his K. Kt.'s Pawn
two squares, whereupon his opponent B. declares himself stale-mated.
2<M) THE CHLSS PLAYER'S CHRONICLE.
To this A. demurs, on the ground that there can be no stale-mate, accor

ding to the established laws of the game, while a move remains, and that
White has still the power to take the Pawn en passant with bis Pawn.
The question involved here is a very nice one, and is much more
difficult to decide than without reflection it appears. The advocates for
the compulsory principle, that is A.'s view of the subject, take their stand
ipsojure, and contend that in obedience to the rule applicable to such
cases, if B. has a move left on the board it must be made—that stale
mate is defined to be a position where one of the players can move
neither Piece nor Pawn ; but while either can be played, no matter at
what cost, stale-mate cannot exist. The arguments in favour of tbis side
the question are put with so much force and cogency by a correspondent
who signs himself " Philo-chess," that we cannot do better than give
them in his words :—
" The case on which you invite an opinion is this. A. pushes a Pawn
two squares, across the path of one of B.'s. B. has no move to avoid
stale-mate, except to take this Pawn in passing. Is B. compelled by the
laws of the game to make the capture P
" When I first saw the question propounded, I confess I was inclined to
think B. was not bound to capture the Pawn ; but subsequent reflection has
satisfied me that my original impression was erroneous. It has been
remarked that B. should not be forced to take the Pawn, because, there
being no clearly defined law applicable to the case, this view of it is more
in accordance with the poetry of Chess. However true this remark may
be, it is, in my opinion, at variance with the philosophy of the game ; and
the latter consideration is, I fancy, of the greater importance, since Chess
belongs rather to the province of Philosophy than of Poetry.
" The fact is, that all the embarrassment which is found in deciding this
question, seems to arise from misapprehending the nature of the option
which the laws of Chess give to a player in capturing a pawn in passing.
It is assumed that this option is sui generis—that it differs from the option
which the laws of the game extend to every other move on the board.
Now I contend that there is no good ground for this distinction.
" The laws of Chess declare that the Pawn, upon being first moved,
may be pushed two squares ; that it must afterwards be moved only one
square at a time, in advance ; that it can capture only in a diagonal direc
tion, at the distance of one square. Now, according to these provisions,
it is obvious that the Pawn cannot capture an adverse Pawn in crossing
its path ; but another clause of the law gives this additional power or
move. It leaves it optional to the player owning the Pawn, whose path
is thus crossed, to capture the adverse Pawn. And why is this made
optional ? Clearly for this reason, that it could not have been expressed
otherwise, without making it obligatory upon the player to make the
capture ; and that such a provision, though admissible in a game like
Draughts, would be altogether hostile to the genius of Chess. Generally
speaking, all moves at Chess are optional. If you place your Knight
en prise of my Bishop, in a general sense, it is optional for me to take
it ; but the circumstances may be such that this option ceases to exist,
and that the capture becomes a forced move.
" This view of the question will, I think, meet the objections of B.'s
friends, who ask, ' If, in the case proposed, B. is compelled to take the
Pawn, what is the value of the option which he possesses ?' The term
option, is to be understood merely as in opposition to compulsion. It
leaves it discretionary with B., should the fundamental laws of the game
permit him to exercise a choice, to capture the adverse Pawn ; just as

other laws allow him, with the same limitation of discretion, to capture
any adverse pieces which may be en prise of his own. B.'s advocates must
then admit, either that, according to the view which I take of the sub
ject, the capture of a Pawn in passing is, in the general sense, optional
(notwithstanding that, in the particular case under consideration, it is
forced) or, that the only move at Chess which can be optional, is that
which they propose to give B. Now, when all the circumstances of the
case are considered ;—that the law allowing the capture of the Pawn in
passing, must either have made the capture optional or obligatory ; that
the latter would have been an anomaly in the game, and at variance with
its spirit, and that therefore, from necessity, the capture must have been
made optional ;—that, according to my views, the move is discretionary
to the same extent, but no further than that all moves in the game are
so ; while according to the views of B.'s friends there would be a viola
tion of this fundamental law of the game, that a player must be without
a move on the board, before he can claim stale-mate ;—when these con
siderations are duly weighed, can there, I ask, be reasonable ground for
doubt, which of the two interpretations is most in accordance with the
spirit and the letter of the laws of Chess ?
" The case may be briefly summed up in the syllogistic form, thus :—
1. The laws of Chess require a player to make any possible move on the
board, if such move is necessary to avoid stale-mate ; 2. To capture a
Pawn in passing, is a possible move ; 3. Therefore, in the case under
consideration, B. must make it.
In the same spirit another communicant remarks
" The first impression seems to be, that when a player has a move
left which the laws warrant, he must adopt it before he can claim stale
mate—the reverse ofthis is a proceeding unknown in Chess History, and
unsupported by argument. It is asserted, however, that the taking " en
passant," is a privilege belonging to B. ; that, as in this instance he would
lose the game, he need not use it against himself, or it would cease to be
a privilege. Now it does not seem to be in the meaning of the rule, that
it is a privilege, nor an optional move in this sense. The only option ever
heard of in Chess up to this time, (and Chess is no novelty, I guess,) is
the choice between two or more moves—never between moving and
refusing. Moreover, it is quite obvious that the rule was not made with
a view to such a position as the present, but that it is general in its bear
ing ; and the only option or privilege allowable is, either to move the
Pawn a-head, or take " en passant;" but as the former is precluded by the
square being occupied, (which is B.'s fault,) the only alternative left is,
to take the Pawn. What right has he to claim the privilege allowed by law,
which he has himself forfeited by bad play ? Suppose a case in point.—
Let B.'s King be similarly situated as at present ; and as his only move,
suppose he has a Pawn as yet unmoved which he can move but one
square : would he be justified in refusing to move it and claiming stale
mate, because in the ordinary game it is optional whether he move it one
square or two ? Again : let the King be as before, and as the only move,
suppose a Pawn in its seventh square, and its eighth unoccupied : it will be
granted that it is a privilege* in the usual way to have a Queen restored ;
would B. be justified in refusing to get back his Queen, because the move
* In fact, Philidor's words are in the rule about this: "The player who gets a
Pawn to its eighth square is entitled," &c, &c.
would result in a lost game, instead of a drawn ? If he would not, what
becomes of his argument about privilege ? These cases seem to me to
be parallel. All these cases have laws expressly to meet them, while B.'s
interpretation is perfectly gratuitous.
" I think I have shewn that neither of the terms ' option and privilege '
afford the supporters of B. any pretext for refusing to move—if so, it will
become them to adopt another line of argument, or yield their position."

Notes to Game 998.

(a) This is pretty, but not sound.
(b) A good move. If White play Q. B. P. one, Black takes Q. P.
with P.
(c) He would have been mated in two moves, on taking the R. with
his B.

Notes to Game 999.
(a) R. to Q. square would have been better.
(6) Instead of this move, he might safely have played Kt. to K. fourth,
and if then Black took the P. it would have cost him a piece, on account
of Kt. taking B. followed by Q. to her Kt. fourth.

Notes to Game 1002.

(a) An excellent, and quite an unexpected move.
(b) Relying on the strength of his P.s. This portion of the game is
well played by Black.
(c) Had he taken this offered P., Black might have played R. to Q. R.
square, secure of regaining a P. and acquiring a fine opening for his R.
(cf) A few moves back, Black had an obviously easy winning game, but
he has contrived to throw away all his advantage, and the position at this
stage, if there is any choice, is rather in favour of his opponent.

Notes to Game 1003.

(a) The opening of this game is admirably played by M. Horwitz.
(6) Very tame and inefficient.
(c) After this move, with common care on White's part, Black's game
was irrecoverable.
(d) It is difficult to imagine a more deplorable situation, than poor
Black's at this point.
(e) A very good move, but Kt. to K. fourth, we believe to be a better.
(./') This inconceivable blunder, loses White a won game and the
match ! If he had simply played Q. to K. R. fifth, Black might with
good grace have given up the partie.
(g) It is worth remarking, that if White on his last move, instead of
playing the Q., had tried to confine the Kt., by placing his R. at K. Kt.
third, he would have lost all his advantage, because, in that case, Black
could have taken K. B. P. with his B. : e. g.
* With this game, terminated the match—the final score being

And must win.
(A) This was compelled ; had White attempted to evade it, by moving
his Q. to K. B. third, Black would have answered with Kt. to K. R.
seventh, and when the K. took it, have played K. R. P. one, winning the
exchange at least.

Notes to Game 1006.
(a) The clear foresight and nicety of calculation, shewn by M.
Harrwitz in the terminating moves of this game, are truly admirable.
NOVEL AND INTERESTING CHESS MATCH.

A contest, replete with interest and excitement to the admirers of the
Game Rotal, is at present pending. The competitors on this occasion
are Mr. Staunton and M. Harewitz, a player of great celebrity in
Germany, and who has recently created an extraordinary sensation in the
chess circles of Paris and London, by his marvellous power of playing
without sight of the board and men.
The terms of the match are, that twenty-one games shall be played .
in seven of these the English amateur engages to give his antagonis t
the enormous odds (between such players) of a pawn and two moves—
in seven more he undertakes to give a pawn and move—and the remain
ing seven are to be played without odds of any kind.
Of these games, up to the moment when we write, 19 have been
played, with the following result :—
Staunton. Harrwitz. Drawn

Notes to Game 1007.

(a) This was a favourite defence in the olden days of Philidor and
Verdoni and Sarratt ; but it is looked upon as hardly forward enough in
these " go-ahead " times.
(6) Preventing the advance of the opposed Q.'s P. two steps.
(c) In all games at this description of odds, it is important for the
second player to get off the adversary's K.'s B.
(d) The taking this P., and thus affording an opening for Black's R.s,
can hardly be defended, we think.
(e) This was indispensable ; for if he had played the attacked P. a
step forward, it would have involved the loss of the P. royal.
(f) He dislodges this cavalier that he may afterwards command the
range of the Q. Kt.'s file with one of his towers.
(g) White here regains the P. he had given at the opening, but he does
so at great sacrifice of position.
(h) This move has been decried ; many good players thinking Mr. S.
should have taken with his Kt. In that case it must not be forgotten
that Black could have played Kt. to Q. third, enabling his Q. to capture
the K. P., checking—a move not easily prevented by White.
(0 On this move many players are at issue with Mr. S., and are con
vinced his play was to retreat the R. to K- B. square.
(k) This is merely desperate.
(I) It is quite apparent that he could not retake the adverse Kt.
(m) The whole board affords him no better move than this bad one.

Notes to Game 1008.

(a) M. Harrwitz's countryman, M. Von de Laza, in his valuable wor
counsels the second player to bring out his K.'s Kt. at this juncture, ai
thus resolve the game into the Giuoco Piano opening.
(5) An ingenious counter-hit, without which Black's game would have

been hopelessly confined ; for the Kt. could neither retreat to his own
house, nor to R.'s fourth, without being altogether useless for many moves ;
and if he dared to go to his K.'s second, White would play Q. to her Kt.'s
third, and gain a winning situation.
(c) What a wondrous influence this little move exercises upon Black's
game ! He hass carcely a piece that can be brought into action.
(d) We heard this coup de repot much praised.
(e) He had another, not unpromising move at command, but that
likewise involved the loss of a P., which, under the circumstances, would
have cost the game. We mean Kt. to Q. B. fifth.

Notes to Game 1009.

(a) The opening moves of this game are quite beneath the ordinary
play of White.
(6) A tithe of the care and attention lavished on the remainder of this
"partie " by White, if bestowed on the early moves, would have ensured
a very different conclusion, we believe.
(c) Q. Kt. P. two, would perhaps have been better play. If then
White had attacked the Q. with his B., Black might have checked with
Q. at R. second, and afterwards have moved the K. R. out of danger.
(d) The position is one of remarkable difficulty for both parties.
(e) His only good move, apparently.
(/) Had he moved the K., Black would have mated him in three
moves.

gained a piece in return immediately,

(a) In anticipation of Black's taking the K. P. with his Kt.

might have taken the K. P.
(c) This threatens to win a P., by first taking Q. P. with Kt., and

Notes to Game 1012.

(a) To advance the P. on the Kt. was tempting, but it would have
been bad play, since Black might then play Kt. to Q. fifth, winning the
Q., if White took the Kt. : e. g.
13. Q. Kt. P. one

15. R. takes P. 15. Q., where she can
16. R. attacks the Q.
Discovering check, and wins her.
(6) This is not a good move, and was only made in the hope tha1
White would play a worse.
(c) Black had relied upon his opponent taking the doubled^ P. with
his Q., in which case he would have got a very fine attacking game
upon him.

Notes to Game 1014.
(a) This strikes us as inferior to playing on the K. P.
(b) Now the fault committed by White in the opening tells. Black
(c) Well played ; preparatory to going to Q. fourth.
(d) The only way to avoid the loss of " the exchange."
(e) Many instructive situations arise from Black's taking the K. R. P.
at this point with his B. ; but the result, with the best play on both sides,
is in favour of his adversary.
(/) Hazardous play.
(g-) This is imprudent. He should have played R. to K. B. fifth, and
then, as soon as possible, B. to K. B. fourth.
BIOGRAPHY OF EMINENT AUTHORS ON CHESS.
GUSTAVUS SELENUS.
The oldest German works on Chess of the 15th and 16th centuries ;
viz., those of Meister Ingold, dz guldin Spil (das goldene Spiel), Augs
burg 1472 ;—Jacobus de Cessolis, Schachzabel oder das Buch mens-
chlicher Sitten (Augsburg 1477, 1483, Strassburg 1483) ;—Jacob Mennel,
dess ritterlichen, kunstlichen Schachzabel Spiels underweysung, erclariing
un verstant (Costeuz 1507, Oppenheym 1520, Frankfurt 1536) ;—
although they contain the morals of Chess in a very interesting form,
yet they accomplish their object but imperfectly—that is to say, do not
teach the game of Chess, as they give no played games, except the last-
THE CHESS PLAYER'S CHRONICLE. .32.3
mentioned, in which we find seven endings of games, and some explana

tions concerning their manner of playing at that time ; for instance, the
Queen moved but one, and the Bishop two squares diagonally.
The first German work which treats with great exactitude, depth an d
learning, not only of the history and laws, but also of the practice of the
Game "itself, appeared in 1616, under the title of Das Schach ; oder,
Konig Spiel, (The Chess; or, King's game,) von Gustavo Seleno,
in four different books, which were very systematically and profoundly
written, and ornamented with useful diagrams ; they were in fact better
than any that had ever appeared before ;—and to that work is appended a
very old game, called Rythmomachia Cum Privil. Caesareo, ad Sexen-
nium : Lipsiffi CIoIqCXVI. (upon some copies XVII.) 495 S. gr. 4. :—
which work is at once so celebrated and so rare, that we think our
readers will not be displeased if we here give some account, first of the
author, and then of the work itself.
The author, who styles himself on this and other of his works, Gustavus
Selenus—namely, Gustavus, an anagram of Augustus, and Selenus
(from Selene, Luna), for Lunaburgensis—was the Duke August von
Braunschweig LUneburg, a prince of great piety, wisdom and learning ;
a friend and protector of Arts and Sciences ; the pride of his house, and the
ornament of his age. Duke August, born the 10th of April 1579, was
the younger son of the Duke Henry of Brunswick, the founder of the
younger house of Brunswick, (who had his residence at Dannenberg, and
reigned from 1546 to 1598), and of the duchess Ursula, princess by
birth of Sachsen Lauenburg : he was a prince of remarkable dispositions,
both of heart and mind, which were admirably developed by the aid of
the most excellent education and instruction. In 1594, before he had yet
accomplished his fifteenth year, he entered the University of Rostock;
and soon after his arrival there, gave a proof of his eloquence in an
oration "De Severitate et Clementia Magistrates," which lasted nearly
an hour, and which greatly astonished the auditors, amongst whom was
the Duke Philip of Pommern, who was then twenty-one years of age.
He was nominated Rector of the University, which dignity he held till
his departure, on which occasion, on the 13th of September, on the
question, " An homo sponte sit malus," he held a discourse, laid down
his employment, and took leave of the University.
He minutely describes his journey to Rostock, as well as his academical
life, in two letters full of gratitude to his faithful master Bernhard
Rulow, which letters are now preserved in the library of Wolfenbuttel.
During his stay in Rostock, his maxim (which cannot be sufficiently
recommended to Chess players) was " Everything with reflection," or, as
he expressed it in one word, " Expende."
At Tubingen, where he went the following year, they also nominated
him to the Rectorship, which the still youthful Duke John Frederick of
Wurtemberg had shortly before resigned. On his acceptation of it, he
held a public discourse on an appointed day in the new academical hall
" de Legum Prsestantia et Utilitate," and another " De Reipublicse
Litteraria Dignitate ac Utilitate," on his resignation on the 23rd of May,
1597*
* The whole of the speeches which he delivered, and the rules he instituted,
both at Rostock and Tubingen, during his Rectorship, were collected and
published by George Gruppenback, at Tubingen, in 1598.
After a two years' stay in Tubingen, where, through his extraordinary

industry, his familiarity, his princely mind, his dexterity in all knightly
exercises, he bad gained the highest love and veneration, he returned
home to assist at the burial of his father, who died on the 17th of
January, 1598 ; whom August's eldest brother, Julius Ernst, succeeded
in the government. He reigned from 1598 to 1636.
He subsequently entered the academy of Strasbourg, where his brother
Franz was Domherr (Dean), and where he also obtained their love and
esteem.
In the same year he began a journey to Italy, he stayed a considerable
time at Padua and Florence, saw Clement VIII. at Rome, went to
Naples, Sicily and Malta (the seat of the order of St. John) ; and on his
return visited the noblest Courts of Germany, and arrived at his home
on the 20th of September, 1600.
The 16th of November, he assisted at the nuptials of his sister Sibylla
Elizabeth (born June 4th, 1576), with Count Anthony of Oldenburg ;
and in April 1 601, he returned to Strassbourg, where he passed the summer,
partly devoting his time to studies, and partly to chivalrous exercises.
In reference to the latter, he has been praised in the Chronicles as
" a straight and fresh sire, well skilled in the arts of war, in earnest as
well as in joke ; who knew to ride the horses according to rule, to
break a lance, to let an arrow fly, and to kill the game."
In the beginning of November he once more visited Tubingen, but was
soon recalled by the news of the sudden death of his brother Francis,
who had lost his life the 21st of December 1601, by a fall of his horse
into the river Rencb. After the festive interment of his brother, Duke
Augustus went on the 1 st of March to Belgium, and embarked the 3rd
of July 1603 for England; assisted on the 25th of July at the coronation
of King James VI ; he then visited the court of Henry IV. of France,
and returned home the 7th of July 1604, through Lotharingia, Alsatia, the
Palatinate and Hessia, after having, during his travels of several years,
become acquainted with the manners, customs and administrations of
many foreign nations. The town of Hitzacker was then assigned to him
as his residence. It was iu the same year that he founded the Bibliotheca
Augusta, (which became so celebrated afterwards) in Wolfenbuttel,
and which has, with more right than any other, been called by the name of
its founder : for it was through his exertions and care, and at his expense
alone, that he collected that rich treasure of books ; ordering purchases
not only in Germany, but also in France, Spain, Italy, England, and
Belgium, of the best books as far as his income would allow. In
collecting this library he was greatly assisted by the acquaintance he
made, during his travels, with the most learned men of those countries.

Notes to Game 1015.
(a) The opening of this game is extremely well played on both sides.
Black's attempts to advance his K. P. to the fifth, an 1 his opponent's
manoeuvres to prevent him, are full of instruction to the rising player.
(6) It was a fault, we think, to release the Kt., by taking off this B.
(c) White has now an excellent game. He has regained the given
P. ; and, with two P.'s " passed," and such a position, ought to have
won without much trouble.
(d) Far from well played. Black can now move on his centre P. with
safety and advantage.
(e) Q. to her R. seventh would have been unavailing on account of
R. to Q. R. square.
(./') This was tempting, since it left the adversary but one good move.
The safer game, however, was to take the doubled P., and interpose the
Q. if Black checked with his Q.
(g) His only move.
(A) Black plays the concluding moves admirably,
(i) Q. to K. R. third would have led to many remarkable variations,
and ought, perhaps, to have drawn the game.

Notes to Game 1016.
(a) The games at odds thus far are certainly, for the most part, much
below the average play of Mr. S. How perfectly futile is the advance
and retreat of this Kt.
(6) The obligation to do this is a disadvantage, but he has no other
way to protect his Kt.'s P. ; for if the K. were moved to Kt.'s second, Black
replies immediately with Kt. to K. Kt. third, and White's game is irre
trievable.
(c) This combination deserved a better fate. It looks at first like
winning, but the curiously circumscribed position of the White K. enabled
Black to extricate himself adroitly enough.
(d) The effect of this move, owing to the remarkable constraint of the
adverse K., is astonishing. It changes the whole aspect of the game in a
moment.
(e) He has nothing better left, [f the K. B. were brought to K. R.
third, Black merely checks with his Kt. and then wins a piece by dis
covering check afterwards.

Notes to Game 1017.

(a) It is quite clear that in games where Mr. S. gives no odds, his
opponent is utterly incapable of making anything like a stand. In the
majority of these, he seems absolutely paralyzed from the beginning, and
bereft of all power to make even a show of resistance.

Notes to Game 1018.

(a) A necessary precaution, because if he had moved Q. R. to his
third. Black might have embarrassed him by playing the Kt. to Q. It.
fourth, attacking the Q. B. P. doubly.
(b) B. to K. R. fifth would have been a great move for White, but he
dared not leave the Q. B. P.
(c) Had he taken the Kt., Black would have retaken with his Rook,
having an improved position.
(d) Having an eye to the pushing on his Q. Kt. P., and thus effecting
a breach on the Q.'s side.
(e) This move, apparently so insignificant, will be found to exercise
an important influence upon the after conduct of the battle.
(/) White might have gained the piece by playing Kt. to K. B. fourth,
but he was needlessly alarmed at the forward position of the adverse
Pawns.
(g) Had the K. been played to his fourth, Black would have mated
him on the move.
(h) This game is extremely well contested, and abounds with critical
and instructive situations.
(i) Threatening to win a piece.

Notes to Game 1019.

(a) The opening of this game is played with great spirit by White.
(V) Perhaps the playing K. R. to this square would have been better.
(c) This appears a little like losing time.
(d) In this dilemma, M. Harrwitz plays admirably.
(e) R. to K. Kt.'s square would have been much stronger, we should
think.
(/) The whole of this game is finely played, but the moves in the
latter part could hardly be improved.
(g) His best move. R. to Q. B.'s seventh (check), with the object of
gaining the P., would have lost the game by permitting Black to gain pos
session of the K. Kt.'s file
(h) If he had moved the K. to his third, Black would have played B.
to Q,. B.'s third, and have forced the Q.'s P.
(i) The position now is most remarkable. If White makes a Q., he is
mated immediately.
(k) Had he taken the B., Black must have won easily, by first checking
with the K. B. P., and then moving R. to K. R. eighth.

Notes to Game 1020.
(o) If he had taken with the Kt., Black would have played B. to K.
sixth, checking, and, after exchanging pieces, have won the Pawn.
(b) This, like many other moves on White's side in the present game,
is weak and purposeless.

the chess player's chuonicle.
A'ofej to Game 1022.

(a) He would have gained no advantage by taking the Q.'s Kt., we
believe.
(t) Black has surely a stronger move of defence than this.
(c) Far more attacking thau playing it to K. B. square, since he now
threatens to win a piece on the next move by taking P. with P.
(d) Saving the piece, and at the same time preventing the Q. from
going to her fifth.
e) Threatening mate in a move or two.
f) The game is utterly irretrievable, but Black might have prolonged
his defence by playing R. to R. fourth.

Notes to Game 1023.

(a) It would not have been prudent, the student will find on looking
into the position, to have taken the Q R. P. with the B. at this point.
(6) Many players were of opinion that M. Harrwitz should have played
K. R. to Q. B. square, threatening next move to attack the Q. with K.
Kt., force her to her Kt. third, and then advance Q. P. on the Kt. Upon
carefully examining the consequent train of moves, it was found that no
advantage would have been gained by this line of play, over that adopted.
(c) Black would have lost a piece by taking the Q. B. P.
(d) This game is very well and cautiously carried on by Black all
through.
(e) Finely played.
(/) To save his R.
(g) Worse than useless.
(A) Q. Kt. P. one, would have been better ; but we doubt if any skill
could have saved the game.

Notes to Game 1024.

(a) White would have preferred retreating this B. to the Kt.'s third"
but upon his doing so, the adverse Kt. would have been played to Q. R-
fourth, and then the Q. B. to R. third.
(6) Permitting- no piece to remain inactive—an instructive lesson to
young players in opening their game.
(c) He would not have improved his position by taking the Q. B.
with B.
(d) The threatening conjunction of Black's R., Kt. and B. renders this
sort of defence imperative.
(e) If here he had played Q. to her B. fourth, White would at once
have thrown forward his Q. Kt. P. two.
(/") A pretty move enough against an inexperienced player.
(g) Intending to force the exchange of Q.'s if the K. retreated.

Notes to Game 1026.
(a) White's game is more embarrassed than it ought to be ; but, for
the last three or four years, Mr. S.'s chief practice has consisted in
giving the odds of Pawn and two moves ; and although perfectly familiar
'with every phase of that difficult debut, of the much less odds of Pawn
and move he knows comparatively nothing. To this circumstance
must be attributed the otherwise remarkable fact of his winning a ma
jority of games in the present match at the larger odds, and losing all
but one of those at the lesser.
(6) To have castled on the K.'s side would, perhaps, have been safer
play.
(c) We should have played Q. B. to K. Kt. seventh in preference.
(d) Overlooking the mate ! The play of M. Harrwitz is so remark
able, generally, for its exemption from oversights, that the present error
seems astonishing. We believe the loss of a piece was inevitable ; but
with Black's preponderance of P.s it is doubtful whether that would have
decided the game against him. If, as was afterwards suggested, he had
played K. B. to Q. B. fourth, instead of taking the R., White's best reply
would have been Q. R. takes K. Kt. P., and when the K. took R. to play
R. to B. seventh (check), followed by B. to Q. fifth.

Notes to Game 1027.

(a) This has generally been adopted as the best move. We must
confess it always appears to us to give the second player a very em
barrassed position.
(b) Here is a variation, and a very important one, which has been quite
overlooked by the chief authorities, Von de Laza, Lewis, and Jauisch.
What can Black do ? We have looked at the position attentively, and
are unable to discover any satisfactory move in answer to this sail}' of the
Bishop.
(c) Black has already a very bad game. He has not a single piece
which can be played advantageously. If his K. B. is moved to Q.'s third,
White may play Q. Kt. to Q. second, sure of winning a P. at least ; and
if, instead, the B. is brought to K. second, then White by first taking off
the Kt., and afterwards checking with his Q. at K. R. fifth, has a winning
game.
(d) White prudently declined to take the offered P., fearing to relieve
his adversary from his present restraint. The following moves will show
the probable result of taking the P. :—
11. Kt. takes doubled P. 11. Q. to her second
12. Q. Kt. P. one 12. R. to Q. R. square (best, be
cause if the P. took P., White
would play his Q. to her R.
seventh).
13. Q. to her square 13. P. takes P., or B. takes Kt.,
(having a game little, if any in
ferior to White.)
(e) Threatening to win the K. R., by playing Kt. to B. seventh or Kt.
sixth.
(/) Far preferable to taking the Q. B. P. with his K. Kt.
(g) Helpless and hopeless. Black has not a move to extricate himself,
and the prolongation of such a game was merely child's play.

Notes to Game 1028.

(a) Somewhat haznrdous, on account of its affording Black an advanta
geous opportunity for playing on his K. P.
* With this game terminated the match—a match of more than ordinary
interest and speculation to the lovers of Chess, not from the magnitude of the
stakes or the intrinsic excellence of the games, but from the novelty of the terms
(b) Threatening to tak" the Q. B. P. and then push on his Q. P.

(c) Apprehensive of the advance of the K. P.
(d) Q. B. P. one step was very tempting, but hardly so sound as the
move in the text, e. g. :
17. Q. B. P. one
IS. P. takes P. (best) 18. B. takes R. P.
19. Q. to her R. second
and then removes the R. which is attacked.
(e) White at this stage has an excellent game. He p-omises now to
play on the Q. B. P., which move, if not provided for, would lose Black
one of hi s B's.
(/) This is meaningless. If instead of thus losing time he had brought
his Kt. round to co-operate with his Q., we do not believe that Black
could have extricated himself.
(g) By this inconsiderate move White gains " the exchange," and sacri
fices the game.
(K) He must give up the R. for a minor piece, or lose the B.
(i) He might nave taken off the Kt., and then played K. to Kt. second,
with every prospect of drawing the game.
and the unexpected vicissitudes which have marked the progress of the play.
Of the opening games, played, in obedience to a ridiculous custom, in the
heated and unwholesome atmosphere of a crowded club-room, the English
player lost three out of four j and there is little doubt, if he had been driven
to conclude the match under circumstances so peculiarly disadvantageous to
him in his present state of health, he would have ended in the minority. For
tunately, however, influences so prejudicial to him began to tell in some degree
upon the constitution of his adversary also; and, by mutual consent, a retire
ment into the country was agreed on, Here, with the benefit of pure air, aud
exemption from the unavoidable inconveniences of a full room, a marked im
provement was soon manifest in the play of both parties, and by the sixteenth
game Mr. Staunton had not only recovered his losses at the beginning, but had
got a-head of his opponent, and although compelled at this point to return
again to play in London, he contrived to maintain, and even improve, his ad
vantage to the end; the final score being as follows :•-
Staunton. Harrwiti. Drawn
Games in which Mr. S. gave the P. and two moves .4 3 0
„ in which Mr. S. gave the P. and one move .1 6 1
„ in which no odds were given .... 7 0 0
Total 12 9 1
While gratifying to the victor—for winning is one of the pleasantest parts of
Chess play—this result is certainly most honourable to the vanquished, who by
the present contest has more than sustained the large repute which his admirable
play without the board had previously earned for him. He is young and enthu
siastic; possesses a fertility of expedient, a readiness in the application of his
resources, and a patient coolness, rarely met with even among the oldest prac
titioners; and wants only experience, if we mistake not, to become one of the
finest among the many fine players which Germany can boast of in the present
day.

11. K. B. takes P. (check) 11. K. to B. square
12. Q. B. to K. Kt. fifth 12. Q. Kt. takes P.
13. He here moves Q. to.Q. R. third,
checking, and Ithen shows that
the defence will win; first by
covering the check with K. B.,
and afterwards by moving Q. B.
P. two, &c. He says it remains
to be proved whether the de
fence is sound, of White moving
Q. to K. third at move 13,
instead of checking ; he also
states this to be a new move
sent him by a friend.
Having taken the trouble of analyzing the positions arising from the
move 13, of Q. to K. third, shortly after the appearance of this Game in
the " Palamede;" I am of opinion that the Gambit player will be perfectly
safe in adopting this mode of attack as the best, and, that play as Black
will, he can only come off second best, or at the least it is very doubtful
that he will be enabled to make a draw. I send you my analysis
herewith.

BIOGRAPHY OF EMINENT AUTHORS ON CHESS.

GUSTAVUS SELENUS.
(Continued from p. 324.)
On the 13th of December, 1607, Duke August celebrated his marriage
with Clara Maria, daughter of Duke Bogislaw XIII. of Pommern, who
had been betrothed to the deceased Duke Sigismund August of Meck-
lenburgh. The children of this marriage, a son and a daughter, died soon
after their birth.
In 1609 he visited the Courts of Saxony and that of Rodolph II. In
1612 he assisted at the election and coronation of the Emperor|Mathias
at Frankfort, and was present at the assembly of Princes in 1613.
After the death of his wife, Clara Maria, February 23rd 1623, he
married again, on the 26th of October 1823, the Princess Dorothea,
daughter of Prince Rudolph of Anhault ; and by this lady, universally
beloved for her benevolence and charity, he had five children : Henry
August, born 1625—1627; Rudolph August, born 1627 ; Anton Ulrich,
born 1633 ; Sybilla Ursula, born 1629; and Clara Augusta, born 1632.
Eight years after the appearance ofthe before-mentioned work, " Scuacii ;
oder, Konig-Spiex.es," in January 1624, the Duke published a great work
in Latin, under the title : " Gustavi Seleni Crytomenytices et Crytographia?
Libri IX.," which contains the Key to the Cyphers of the celebrated Abbot
of Spanheim, Johannes Trithemius, with similar inventions by himself and
others. This profound work, dedicated to the Emperor Ferdinand II.
wss considered a production of extraordinary ingenuity and perseverance,
and was received with universal admiration by the learned.
In 1629 he assisted in the settlement of some differences between King
Christian IV. of Denmark and the town of Hamburg, and succeeded in
May of the same year, to execute several negociation^ at the Court of
Ferdinand II., with which he had been intrusted by the Houses of Bruns
wick and Luneburg.
He was in the habit of keeping a daily memorial of all his travels ;
those made in his youth for pleasure and instruction, and those which he
subsequently undertook in the interest of his house. Here he recorded
his observations, sometimes in ordinary characters, and sometimes in
cyphers, with the utmost punctuality. This interesting journal, compre
hending a period of upwards of 40 years, from the 10th of April 1594 to
the 16th of' April 1635, is deposited in folio in the library of Wolfenbuttel,
under the title of " Ephemerides, sive Diarium."
In January 1634, we find him received as a member of the " Frucht-
bringende Gesellschaft," a highly influential Society instituted for the
preservation and improvement of the German language.
In the same year he inherited—or rather had conferred upon him by
the resignation of his elder brother, Julius Ernest—a portion of the
revenue of Duke Ulric, the town of Wolfenbuttel ; which, however, he
was unable immediately to take possession of, it being then occupied by
the troops of the Emperor on account of the religious wars which raged in
Germany at that period.
He lost his second wife the 2Sth of September 1634, and married on
the 13th of July 1635 the Princess Sophia Elizabeth, daughter of Johann
Albrecht Duke of Mecklenburg—a Princess of great accomplishments :
distinguished alike both for the beauty of her person and the cultivation
of her mind. By her he had three children : Ferdinand Albrecht, born
1686; Christian Franz, born 1639; and the Princess Maria Elizabeth,
born 1638.
On the 24th of October 1636, he succeeded, after the death of his
elder brother, who left no sons, to the inheritance of his patrimony; but
in the midst of the new cares imposed upon him by this circumstance in
such troublesome times, he never forgot or neglected the duties of a
father of a family. He at first took up his abode at Brunswick, to which
place he had his library removed ; but in 1643, by prudent negociations
he concluded a treaty with the Emperor, by which the troops of the latter
and the Bavarians were withdrawn from Wolfenbuttel, and that old
capital and fortress became his residence. To the joy of the whole
country, he made his public entrance on the 14th of September, and from
that time forward the anniversary of this day was solemized in all the
churches as a perpetual momento of so great a favour of the Lord.
By rebuilding a portion of the old Town, and reconstructing the delapi-
dated Castle for his own residence, the place in a short time became a
beautiful and tranquil spot. His library, dedicated to God and posterity,
was also removed to Wolfenbuttel as to a safe post, and men of science
prayed fervently that so magnificent an instrument of learning might be
preserved, undamaged to future ages.
As a true father of his people, nothing was to him of so much regard
as their welfare, and he exerted himself by wise laws to encourage
industry, and cultivate science and the arts, at the same time he forgot
not the religious education of his subjects. He wrote himself a " Har
mony " of the passion of the Lord, and a " Harmony and Paraphrase of
the Evangelists," which he caused to be introduced into the churches and
schools. According to Winkleman he was one of the most deserving of
all the Princes of his house, a pious, peaceable and educated leader, most
happy for the people in those dangerous times—one who was devout
with the clergy, who conversed with lawyers upon law, with physicans
upon their science, with philosophers of reason and understanding, and
with artists upon arts—and one who ever governed the country with
wisdom and justice. In unshaken strength and health—for nature had
given him with a powerful mind, a strong and lasting frame—he reached
the 88th year of his age, the 32 of his reign, and died on the morning of
September 17, 1666.
His widow, Sophia Elizabeth, retired to the Castle of Liichon, devoting
her time to religious music, and followed her husband 10 years after,
dying on the 12th of July, 1676, aged 63.
The Duke was succeeded by his sons Rudolph August, who died in
1704, and Anton Ulrich, who died 1714, both unworthy of their father,
who to his contemporaries and to after times appeared as a model of a
wise Regent and a crown of Princes.

Notes to Game 1033.

(a) M'Donnell used now to play the Q. B. to R. third, and this in
genious variation in his hands for a long time was eminently successful.
At length, however, the correct defence of Q. B. to K. third was found
out, and the move of B. to Q. R. third fell into disrepute. It is now
rarely adopted by players well grounded in the openings, unless when
they are giving odds to some inexperienced amateur.
(&) White has not sustained the attack in this game with his habitual
discretion. He is minus three P.s, and has no equivalent superiority of
position.
(c) He should have taken B. with B. to double the P.s, and then have
played Q. to her Kt. third or to K. R. third.

Notes to Game 1034.

(a) Great part of this game is played hy White in a style quite beyond
that usually exhibited by amateurs who receive the odds of a Rook.
(b) Taking the Kt. P. would have involved the loss of a piece.
(c) By taking the K. P he would have lost a piece,
(d) Excellently played.
(e) The disparity of the forces is too great for Black to afford ex
changes.
(/) This is blameable : he should have played the K. Kt. to Q. fourth,
still harassing the Q.
(g) A player of less foresight than Mr. H., would have eagerly sought
for an exchange of R.s through the very tempting course of playing the
Q. R. to K. B. seventh—and by this exchange have been mated in four

or five moves—for suppose

(A) It is singular, that while able to see and foretel as he did with
accuracy every move up to the final mate in the preceding variation,
Mr. lljinmih should have overlooked the more palpable consequences of
this mistake.

Notes to Game 1035. x
(a) Mr. M'Donnell's mode of opening in the present game is not
commendable. By taking the P. he subjected himself to an attack,
which carried on by so able and careful an opponent as Mr. Slous, was
sure to end in his defeat.
(6) He might have checked with the Q. at K. sixth, or K. B. fifth,
inviting her capture.

(a) Before throwing forward this P., we think he should have played
K. B. P. one step.
(6) Preparatory to pushing on the K. P. ; we should have preferred,
however, Q. R. to K. or Q. square.
(c) This appears to be losing time. Would not " K. P. one," have
been equally potent now as on the next move ?
(d) Had he played the obvious move of R. to K. B. second, Black
might have taken K. R. P. with his R.
(e) A manoeuvre Mr. M'Donnell apparently overlooked when he
attacked the Kt.—not that the omission was important, no care or skill
could have saved the game.

Notes to Game 1037.

(a) Black has not played his opening well, to permit his adversary to
get a position so secure and unrestrained as White's now is.
(6) This is to prevent the threatened advance of the K. B. P., but we
doubt whether the object is not too dearly bought by the dismemberment
of the centre phalanx.
(c) Somewhat tame.—With such an attack, we would keep up an unre
mitting fire on the K.—Q. Kt. P. two, and then, if the B. took it, Q. R.
to Q. Kt. square would have hastened the catastrophe considerably.
In addition to the above, the same valued contributor has favoured

us with the subjoined :—
" Sir,—As you found the game between Mr. Slous and Captain Evans,
that I sent you, worthy of publicity, I am induced to forward two more
parties played by the former with MM. Popert and Taverner some
years ago.
" I enclose you also a couple of brief but spirited skirmishes played
by Mr. Slous with Mr. W. Bone, which are the more interesting from
the scarcity of recorded examples of that dashing, bit alas! unsound
pet opening of Des Chappelles, the Greco counter-gambit. In these
games the solidity and vigour of Mr. S.'s style of play I think are well
exemplified.
" I am, Sir, yours obediently,

Notes to Game 1038.

(a) The opening of this game is a model of its kind ; and quite charac
teristic of the cold, cautious, and solid style of manoeuvring for which
these two able tactitians were remarkable.
(b) White could have taken the doubled P. checking, but it is doubtful
whether he would have improved his position by the capture.
(c) This was premature, and gave to White an advantage sufficient to
decide the game.
(d) The terminating moves are all skilfully played by Mr. Slous.
(e) Play as he could, we believe " the exchange " was won by force.

Notes to Game 1039.
(a) Objectionable, inasmuch as it affords so tempting an iutet for the
adverse Kt.
(6) In vain have we tried to fathom the purport of this flight. White's
game is certainly unpromising enough, yet not so desperate that it should
be given up without a struggle. R. to B. second, would at least have
prolonged the contest.
* A few years since, Mr. Taverner occupied a prominent place among our
leading amateurs, by whom he was looked upon as a player of great promise
and originality. His practice was always too limited, but the few specimens of
his game which we have seen, give indications of a genius and an aptitude for
Chess, not often surpassed.

CHESS IN INDIA.
Our esteemed contributor " Shagird," has favoured us with ten games
of a match now pending in India, between a skilful English amateur and
a Native player of celebrity. Of these ten games, the European has
won six, his opponent three, and one was drawn. We give a portion of
the games in the present Number, and shall continue them in our next.
CHESS MATCH IN INDIA, BETWEEN A "EUROPEAN"
AND A "NATIVE."
(FROM THE DELHI GAZETTE.)
To the Editor of the Delhi Gazette.
" Sir,—In a late Editorial you advocated the introduction of Chess into
the Barracks of our gallant European soldiers ; and said, you knew no
amusement so innocent, or one so adapted to the European soldiers as
Chess.
" As books on Chess must be a scarce commodity in India, I have the

pleasure to send a series of games played between an European and a
Native ; and hope that from time to time, with the view of encouraging
so rational and sensible an amusement, you will find a spare corner for
them. The first game unfortunately has not been preserved ; it was won
by the Native.
" Yours, obediently,
" Rookh."

castle at the next move.

37G THE CHESS PLAYER'S CHRONICLE.
Notes to Game
(a) A favourite move with Native players.
(6) This move is by no means judicious ; and, as will be seen, leads to
a decided loss.
(c) Had he played Kt. to K. second, then his opponent would have
taken Kt. with B., and on its being taken by R. or Q. would have played
Kt. to K. K. sixth, and have won the exchange.
(d) Wherever he plays the R. he must lose the exchange.
(e) Intruding a little into the enemy's camp, but with perfect safety.
(/) With the view of shutting up the B.
(g) Q. to Q. R. fourth is perhaps stronger.
(A) Q. to Q. Kt. fourth is perhaps stronger.
(i) Had he taken K. B. P. with R., his opponent would have marched
his Q. Kt. P. down to Q., having first played R. to Q. B. third.

Notes to Game
(a) P. takes P. would perhaps have been stronger, but then it would
have brought B. into play.
(6) Had Kt. taken P., his opponent, by checking at Q. fifth, would
immediately have taken it.
(c) Premature.
(d) To prevent his opponent planting the B. at Q. B. fourth.
(e) Had he taken Kt. he would have lost his Q.
(/) Q. R. to Q. or K. R. to Q. would perhaps be stronger.
(g) Q. to K. R. second appears the right move.
(A) Q. takes Q. is possibly better.
(i) Had he covered with Q. he would have lost by his adversary check
ing with R. at Q. Kt. eighth.
(A) He ought to have played his R.'s P.
(J) This loses the game ; by playing K. to Q. Kt. fourth, he might
possibly have drawn it.
CHESS IN AMERICA.

Notes to Game 1042.

(a) K. P. one, attacking the Kt. and threatening anon to win the Q.'s
R., was surely preferable.
(6) The sacrifice of this F. appears unnecessary; he might have
checked with his Q. at once, and then have taken the B., having a better
game.
(c) This is decisive ;—poor White may struggle for a few more moves,
but his ultimate fate is sealed.

Notes to Game 1043.
(a) There is an earnestness in the onward march of these F.s which
betokens mischief.
(6) Black foresees the coming danger from the advanced P.s, and wisely
determines, if possible, to break them up.
(c) The exposed position of White's K. enables Black to make this
sacrifice with advantage, llad White been Castled, his P.s must have
proved resistless.
(rf) Having wrested the attack from his opponent, Mr. Stanley urges
it with his habitual vigour.

Notes to Game 1044.

(a) " The books " give R. to R. second as " best ; " we think the move
in the text at least as good.
(6) This is the position which M. Kieseritzkij, in opposition to almost
every player of mark, considers to be so favourable to White that he
once offered to play a series of games from this point by correspondence
with any one. This was some years ago, and we suspect subsequent ex
perience has tended somewhat to modify his opinion of the advantages
this Gambit gives to the opening player.
(c) The sacrifice of this Pawn, for the purpose of bringing his Q. Kt.
into action, is well conceived.
(d) It is pretty evident, the taking of the Kt. would have cost him his Q.
(e) We are quite at a loss to comprehend the object of this move.
(/) What was to follow if he took it with his Q. ?
(gO Throwing away an easy game.
(A) This is not the most scientific way of finishing his work. He
should have played Q. to R. eighth, then Q. to B. sixth, and then have
taken R with R.

Notes to Game 1045.
(a) This is quite unexpected, but it appears to be perfectly sound, and
is a fine stroke of generalship.
(6) Foreseen, of course, when the Q. was given up.
(c) Apparently he has no better move ; because if the K. is played to
his square, the R. takes Kt. and wins the Q. next move.
(d) The latter half of this game, from the point where Black surrenders
his Q., is very skilfully carried on by the second player.
CHESS IN GERMANY.
From the "Berlin Schachzeitung" for August, we extract the three
following sternly contested games, at an opening little practised in this
country, but which appears to have found much favour among the strong
players at Berlin. The leading moves of this debut are—
3. K. B. to Q. Kt. fifth (check) 3. Q. B. to Q. second
4. K. B. to Q. B. fourth
and, it is remarked by the writer of the observations on these games in
384 THE CHESS PtAYER's CHRONICLE.
the Berlin Journal, that at this point of the opening, a very perfect
knowledge of all the variations consequent upon these moves is requisite
to defend the Pawn on the Queen's fifth square.
In the three games which follow, this Pawn is lost, and Black gains in
addition a bctterjx>sition than his opponent, but this, as was shewn in an
analysis of the opening in a subsequent Number of the same Journal,
is partly to be attributed to the erroneous defence adopted by the first
player.

Notes to Game 1046.
%* These notes are by a correspondent of the Berlin Chess Journal.
(a) This is to compel the advance of K. B. P., and thus prevent the Q.
or Kt. from occupying the K. B. third square. If he play Kt. to B. third
instead of B. P. one, Black wins the Q. P. at once.
(b) The B. must return home, and not, as recommended in Bilguer's
Handbook, to K. B. fourth, because in that case White may reply with
Q. Kt. to B. third, gaining a decided advantage, as we shew hereafter in
our complete analysis of this " Gambit du Centre."
(c) By attacking the Kt. P., he prevents the Q. P. from being taken.
(d) Instead of this, Black might have played Q. B. to Q. R. third.
(e) if Q. B. P. two, see the third game.
(J") Secure of winning the P. on his Q. fifth, Black developes his game.
(g) This is some impediment to White's castling immediately.
(K) B. takes K. Kt., followed by this move, is perhaps stronger play,
(i) By taking this P., White would lose his Q., on account of B. to
Q. B. fourth (check).
(K) The only correct move.
(7) R. takes K. Kt. P. is much better play. After taking the R.,
Black's game is hopeless.

388 THE CHESS PLAYER*S CHRONICLE.
Notes to Game 1048.

(a) It is with this move the Centre Gambit begins : if, instead of
playing the Kt., the first player takes the P. with his Q., he is obliged by
Q. Kt to B. third to retreat his Q., which is followed by Q. P. two ; and
his opponent has the superior game.
(6) It may be remarked here, that if the first player wishes to avoid the
complicated manoeuvres of this Gambit, and prefers giving up the gained
P., which will probably be the case in actual games, he should play for his
third move Q. P. two ; and, when the Kt. takes the gambit P., bring K.
Kt. to B. third.
(c) Black might play Q. R. P. two, (and White must answer with Q.
R. P. one), then Q. B. to K. Kt. fifth, then Q. B. to his own square, and
afterwards B. to Q. R. third, by which he acquires another position pre
senting new difficulties for the defence of the gambit P., which are not
easily got over.
(rf) This is better than the move of the Kt. in the last game,
(e) Better than Q. R. P. two, as in the first of these games.
(/) He might also take Q. B. P. with Q. P.
(g) If Q. B. P. takes Q. Kt. P., Black plays—
10. 10. Q. P. one
11. Q. Kt. to K. fourth 11. Q. P. one
12. Kt. takes Kt. (check) 12. K. Kt. P. takes Kt.
13. Q. to K. fourth 13. Q. R. to Q. R. second
14. K. B. to Q. B. fourth 14. Q. R. to Q. second
and White will not be able to rid himself of the P. at his Q's third, which
completely locks up his game.
(k) To defend the P. If he attempts to do so by Q. to her third,
Black plays K. P. one.
(i) If Black replies with Q. Kt. to his third, White may play Q. R. P.
two.
(A) White retires his Q. that if Black exchanges he may unite his P.s
—K. Kt. to K. second would, however, have been better, the P. at Q.
fifth being no longer defensible.
(I) The only way to preserve the P. for a move or two.
(»«) By this move the Kt, which appears to be lost, is indirectly but
jet securely defended.
(n) If Black persevere in his endeavours to win a piece by playing Q.
R. to Q. Kt. square, White can answer with—
17. Q. R. P. takes P. I 17. R. takes P.
18. Q. to Q. B. third I
having a better position.
(o) It would be unsound to sacrifice the B. now by taking the K. P.
(p) -To drive Black to take the P. at Q. sixth, by which the develop
ment of his pieces is somewhat retarded.
(q) K. Kt. to K. second appears to be better.
(r) The best move—preventing White from Castling.
(*) The Q. is not well placed—Kt. to K. Kt. second would have pro
longed the defence.
(0 He might also have played Q. Kt. to B. third, or K. R. to K. square;
but neither would have been of much avail.
(a) The winning move.

(b) Black might win a piece by taking the Kt. with B., and afterwards
playing Kt. to Q. Kt. third, but the present move is stronger.
(to) Prepared for the check ofthe Q.
(x) More effective than K. P. one.
(y) Mate in three moves.

Notes to Game 1050.

(a) We like this play. The preceding moves are all " book ;" but this
strikes us as a step beyond the record.
(b) Kt. to his fourth is better, according to the authorities.
(c) All White's efforts for some moves to come are centred on winning
this Q.'s Kt.
(d) He would have gained sufficient advantage to decide the game, we

believe, if he had now played Q. to her R. fourth. As the variations
arising from this mode of play are interesting, we subjoin an abstract,
14. Q. to her It. fourth 14. Kt. to Q. B. fifth (The
most obvious, but not the best
move.)
15. Q. to her Kt. third, (winning,
at least, " the exchange ;" since
Black must either protect the
Kt. with Q. P. or lose it. His
playing it back again will not
save it )
or—14. Q. R. P. one (best)
15. P. takes Q. R. P. (Better than , 15. Kt. to Q. B. third
taking the Kt., because then
Black would take P. with P.,
attacking the Q., and bring
ing his Q. R. to bear upon the
B., which must fall.)
16. Q. Kt. to Q. second. Having
a P. more, and a great supe
riority in position. White might
also play Q. to her B. second,
or Q. B. to R. third, instead of
bringing out the Q.'s Kt., and
in each case he would have a
very fine game.
(c) Here again, instead of this unavailing abandonment of a choice P.
he should have moved his Q. to R. fourth
(/) Q- to her B. second would have been very, very much more
effectual.
(g) This completely foils White's pretty devices for winning the cap
tive Kt.
(Ji) We have now to marvel at M. Harrwitz's play. He has, at this
point, a P. a-head, and a position in no way inferior to his opponent's ;
and yet, by two or three inconsiderate moves of this kind, he permits bis
advantage to melt away, and his opponent to come in a winner after all.
(0 It is quite evident that if he exchanged R's, he could not after
wards take the Kt.
(£) Even here Black might have drawn the game by playing K. R. to
K. second ; but the move in the text is fatal.
(I) Had he moved K. R. to Kt. fourth, Black would have drawn the
game ingeniously enough. Can our young players see how ?

Notes to Game 1051.

(a) This opening has never yet had justice done it by the analyzers ;
and the present games may serve, perhaps, in some measure, to supply a
deficiency which must have been felt by every one who has searched for
information regarding it in the Chess books of the day.
(6) In these, as in the games with M. Kicscritzkij, M. Horwitz plays
very much below his full strength. A move of this description, involving
the loss of a clear piece in two or three moves, is deplorable.

Notes to Game 1052.

(a) This forced retreat of the Q. to her home again, and the un
developed position of Black's forces, while the opponent's are in active
array, show clearly that the line of defence which springs from playing
K. B. to Q. B. fourth, on the third move, will not do.
(6) Bad as this is, from its keeping the Q. R. out of play, he appears
to have no better move.
(c) Taking the R. would equally have cost him a P. White would
have taken Q. B. P., and afterwards Q. R.
(d) A clever expedient. If White take the Kt., Black retorts by
taking the B., thus attacking both Q. and R.
(e) The winning move.

Notes to Game 1053.

(a) This defence is at least original, if it has no other merit.
(b) Better, we think, to have taken off the Kt.
(c) Both players appear to have overlooked the jeopardy of Black's
Q. B. P., which might have been taken with impunity either by Q. or R.
(d) Black had apparently omitted to consider the consequences of the
adverse Q.'s check.
(e) A perilous venture. We should have thought R. to K. Kt. square
preferable.
(/) He might have gained the Q. R. P.(checking) ; but even then, with
due care on Black's part, the game must have been drawn.
(g) Great nicety of play is called for here.
(h) This is fatal. Had he played K. to Q» seventh, White must have
been content " to draw."

Notes to Game 1054.

(a) Q. P. two steps is a much better move.
(bj This is a poor, spiritless game. There is hardly a point of interest
on either side, from beginning to end.
(c) Black's only chance consisted in keeping up a vigorous assault upon
the adverse K. He ought at once to have pushed on boldly with his Q.
Kt. P.
(d) The advance of this P. now is unavailing* A few moves farther
back it might have done him " yeoman's service."

Notes to Game 1055.

(a) We should certainly now take White's game for choice. Black's
best B. is masked, and out of play, and his other pieces anything but
well disposed for action.
(6) This is an unaccountable error, as it brings the Q. at once into
irresistible combination with the two R's. Kt. to Q. fifth would have
still preserved for White the advantage of position.
(c) A dashing termination ; and, strange to say, quite unforseen by M.
H orwitz, upon whom it came like a thunder clap.

(a) The present situation of White's forces is anything but recom
mendatory of M. Horwitz's new-fangled defence.

obtained by giving up this P.
(c) Threatening to mate or win the Kt. Can the young player see
how both to avoid the mate and yet preserve his piece ?
(d) This is the move which utterly defeats White's projects. He can
now neither check-mate, nor win the Kt. ; and is compelled to play his
Q. to an unfavourable and out-of-the-way square.
(e) Tempting his opponent to seize the R.'s P., which would cost the B.

advance of the K. B. P.
(d) Too late.—Too late.
(e) There is no faltering, no hesitation, in the conduct of the attack
here. Black goes " right on," and every move tells. From the first step
forward of this P., the fate of the game is determined.
(./' ) With the object of giving up a piece to stay those terrible P.s. ; a
sacrifice, however, which Black declines.
(g~) The operations of White's cavalry throughout this game, are not,
certainly, upon a very extended scale. Their movements remind one
irresistibly of the exploit of the Gallic monarch, who
" with twenty thousand men,
Walked up a hill, and then—walked down again."
(Ji) Poor White is in the toils, enmeshed beyond a chance of extri
cation.
* The match being for the best of eleven games, the present game decides
the contest— M. Harrwitz scoring six to his opponent's four. By this victory,
fairly and gallantly achieved, the winner has added a proud feather to his
plume. He has fully verified the predictions of his friends, and proved
himself entitled to an indisputable place by the side of the ablest players of
the day.
'101 THE CHESS PLAYER'S CHRONICLE.
CHESS-PLAY IN VIENNA.
BY M. VON IIEYDEBRANT, V. D. Ii.*
As in nearly all other places of Germany, Chess is much played in
Vienna ; and forms the chief amusement of a great many players. A
regular Club has yet to be established ; although a place of reunion is not
wanting, since at Neuner's well-conducted coffee-house, No. 1063, in
the centre of the City, several parties are to be found both in the morn
ing and evening—but especially in the latter—playing for a small stake.
Amongst the habitual visitors to this establishment there are as many as
eight prominent players, all of whom may be considered of the same
strength. Of these we may particularize by name the author ofthe well-
known " Mnemonics of Chess," Baron Perenyi ; M. Matschego ; and two
friends, MM. Studinetzky and Jenay. To create a more widely spread
interest in the game, these gentlemen last Winter arranged a number of
matches against four other players of equal skill, upon the following con
ditions.—They divided themselves into four different parties, each party
drawn by lot. The four winners of the first games then cast lots among
themselves for opponents and played again ; and finally the two winners
of the second games, finished the match by playing against each other
for the amount of stakes deposited by the eight competitors.
As may be supposed from their number, these players are not to be
ranked among the topmost heroes of the Exchequer ; but they never
theless, deserve a placed by the side of the strong players of the present
time.
If required to describe the peculiar characteristic in the play of each
of the gentlemen whom we have named, we should say that the strength
ofM. Matschego was best shewn in the solidity of his defence. With
him, an opponent but rarely has the advantage of obtaining a rapid
assault ; since he most frequently when second player adopts the move of
K P. one. When first player, however, he not uncommonly compels his
adversary to a line of complicated defence ; and is not afraid to venture
on a Gambit to obtain a strong and lasting attack.
Baron Perenyi is the author of the Chess work named above—a work
which is to be recommended to all who wish to acquire the faculty of
reading the openings of games, or of playing without seeing the Chess
board. In style of play, he is cool and steady, and appears always contented
to direct his efforts to the achievement of a drawn battle. He seldom
ventures on a Gambit!; neither as second player does he play the French,
or K. P. one game. Having obtained an advantage, he pursues it with
unflinching tenacity ; but he mostly declines the gain of a Pawn if it in
volves a difficult defence.
M. Jenay, a Native of Poland, long domiciled in Vienna, is a player
who does not shrink from the attack of his adversary ; but enters into his
plans, and avoids it only when he perceives some certain disadvantage
must accrue from its acceptance. Both in attack and defence, he seems
mainly to rely upon his own momentary conceptions ; and his game,
though sound, is far from systematic.
From the "Berlin Schachzeitung."
THE CHESS PLAYER'S CHRONICLE. 40.,
His friend M. Studinetzky follows a widely different course. To the

advantage of his game, he has familiarised himself with the instructions
of the best authors, is well acquainted with their works, and plays with
accuracy and readiness all the openings.
Although the gentlemen we have mentioned, with their four antagonists,
may be considered the most distinguished among the amateurs of
Neuner's coffee-house, they form but a very small portion of its numerous
frequenters.
In addition too to this Circle there are in Vienna other players of
eminence. M. Hampe, who rarely visits Neuner's, deservedly ranks as a
really powerful player. An indisposition from which he was only recov
ering at the period of the writer's visit, prevented anything like a regular
contest ; but the few hurried games which were played between them,
were sufficient to show the ingenuity of combination possessed by the
Vienna master. In the elegance and subtlety of his style, M. Hampe
closely resembles M. Schon, a gentleman well known in Berlin and Munich
as an accomplished proficient in the art of painting as well as in our
favourite game.
Staudigl, the renowned singer, whose name we find honourably men
tioned in the " Chess Player's Chronicle " of last year, is also recognised as
a Chess player of note ; but his almost ceaseless occupations at the
" Theatre an der Wien," afford him few opportunities for the relaxation
of Chess.
M. C. de Santo Vito, favourably known as the author of the last editions
of Allgaier's work on Chess, has retired from the Chess arena—partly
from the pressure of official engagements, and partly on account of his
declining health.
Before concluding this brief sketch of the Viennese Amateurs—which
I hope to see continued and completed by some inhabitant of Vienna,
who is better acquainted with the peculiarities of its many players, and
who can illustrate his observations by communicating specimens of their
powers in actual play—I must mention the names of two more players ;
Count Somszich and Mr. Witholm, both established players of high
repute, but unfortunately retired from the stage—a circumstance much to
be regretted; since the latter, after the death of Allgaier, was accounted
the finest player in Vienna.
Among the Chess players of Vienna, probably from the want of an
established Club, the visit of a stranger is of rare occurrence ; sometimes,
however, one or other of the players from Pesth, the Capital of Hungary,
pays a short visit to the metropolis. In Pesth, as is well known, there
are three masters ; Szen, who is reputed the first, and Grimm, and Low-
enthal ; these were the three who chiefly conducted the games in the
celebrated match by correspondence which was won against the Club at
Paris. With the advantage of three such players, however, the principles
of union are not sufficiently stable in Pesth to support a Club : for a few
months ago, when the Berlin Chess Society proffered to play a game by
correspondence, they received a communication in reply, which announced
the dissolution of the Pesth Club.
During his stay in Vienna, the writer had the agreeable opportunity of
playing with MM. Lowenthal and Grimm—both previously unknown to
vol. vn. 3a
40T> THE CHESS PLAYER'S CHRONICLE.
him personally ; the latter reached Vienna some time before ; but M. Low-
enthal had been residing at Grafenberg for his health, and from thence
had made a trip from Breslau to Berlin ; and reached the Austrian
Capital at the latter end of April. The games in question were played
before a large assemblage of spectators at Neuner's ; and excited so much
attention at the the time, that several were taken down whilst playing.*
It is proper to mention respecting them, that those played with M. Grimm
were, on both sides, lightly contested ; but those against M. Lowenthal
were played with more consideration.

DR. BLEDOW.
The following passages are extracted from an affectionate culogium on
the character and acquirements of this lamented gentleman, which ap
peared in a recent Number of the " Berlin Schachzeitung" from the pen
of his friend and fellow Chess-player, Mr. Kossak.
"****** The immediate purpose of this paper is to recall to the
remembrance of Chess amateurs, that portion of our friend's career which
was dedicated to the advancement of his favourite recreation, the Game
of Chess. His activity in his position as instructor of youth, his manifold
scientific and linguistic attainments, his warm interest in every thing
which concerned the progress of Art, have been eloquently expatiated on
elsewhere.
" These pages,* which he originated and wherein he hoped to garner
up the rich experience of his life in Chess, are sad memorials of his loss.
He was permitted to pioneer the way for others by the opening Num
ber, only, and then was torn from us for ever
" For the leadership of a literary undertaking of this description, he was
qualified before most men. His eminence as a Chess player, his exten
sive correspondence, his library, and his great acquirements, were advan
tages peculiarly called for in the conductor of such a publication. To
these was added an enthusiasm in the cause which no obstacle could
daunt ; and which, by its earnestness, won others to his views. As Pre
sident of our Chess-club, he tempted the younger portion cf society to
join the brotherhood, by instruction and encouragement ; and the elder,
who were estranged from Chess by station or by their avocations, he
would gain by reason and persuasion.
" Of his lively and admirable play, so full of profit to the young and of
delight to the experienced, it is superfluous to speak to those who for
years have witnessed his games; and how shall we convey to strangers
even a feeble image of his many excellencies ?
" In a letter to the ' Palamede,' the talented author of the ' Analyse
des Ouvertures,' not inaptly likens him as a player to the brilliant Greco.
In the general style of their game, there is undoubtedly great resem
blance ; but in the variety of his openings, Bledow was vastly superior to
the Calabrese, who in this respect is not exempt from a certain monotony.
" While following with nice attention the development ofmodern Chess-
play, which is more remarkable for profundity than extension, he acquired
every improvement, and adapted it to the peculiarity of his own style ;
and, whether giving large odds to a beginner, or contesting with any
foreign master of celebrity, he always knew how to make his costly store
ofinformation practicably useful in the most ingenious way. t
" With rare perception, he adapted his play to the manner of his ad
versary's ; and would detect with surprising rapidity the vulnerable point
in his theoretic knowledge of the openings.
" As the game advanced, the originality of his combinations became
still more apparent ; the strongest player felt himself involved in the
* The Berlin Schachaeitung,
subtleties of the most difficult combinations, and the weaker that he was
surrounded by invisible but inextricable toils from which escape was
impossible.
" But the most striking point of his play was at the termination of the
game. When well disposed for play—which of late years was not
frequently the case, from the incurable malady which subsequently des
troyed him, and from which he suffered long—when quite himself, then
indeed he had the art to keep our admiration of his skill alive, by the
address with he would parry a dangerous coup ; or rapidly turn an ap
parently fatal attack to the discomfiture of his opponent.
The constant study of Pawn play, and of all Chess Problems, old or
new, confirmed his strength. None understood like him how to abandon
suddenly a long planned combination, and attack his adversary at an
unthought-of point ; and none better, by artful delay in the development
of the game, to tempt his adversary to premature assault.
The strongest players he met with—among others we name Szen, Low-
enthal, Mongredieu, Alexandre, Buckle, Von Janish, and Horwitz—either
succumbed to him, or with difficulty sustained an equality ; and Bledow
has died unconquered !*****

carrying on this defence. We are happy to find it adopted by so accom

(a) This was a favourite move in the Evans's Gambit both with

appears to us to lose time.
(b) With a P. less, it seems hardly advisable to seek for an exchange
like this.

Erratum.—Our Diagram of this position is an exact transcript of that sent
to us from India ; but subsequent examination of the Problem with its Solution
shows clearly that the White Bishop, instead of being placed on K. Kt. seventh,
must stand at White's Q. Kt. second. The reader is therefore requested to
make such correction before attempting to solve the Problem.
