V 1 P-Q 4 P-Q 4 2 Kt-K ii 5 B-B 4 3 P-K 3 P-K 3 4 P-B 4 Kt-Q B 3 As a rule P-B 4 must be plaved before developing the Q Kt, But the Q B being developed, the text move may pass.—HoCer. 5 P-Q R 3 Kt-B 3 6 Kt-B 5 B-K 2 7 Q-Kt 3 Castles We suggest 7 Kt-Q E 4. If 8 Q-R 4 ch, then 8 P-B 3; 9 P x 'P, K Px P; 10 P-O Kt,4, P-Q Kt 4; 11 Q x Kt, Q-B sq, and White must give back the piece in order to save the Quean, which is menaced with B-Q sq. Consequently White’s Q-Kt 5 should be queried.—Holier. 8 P-B 5 R-Kt sq 9 Q-R 4 P-Q R 3 10 P-Q Kt 4 Kt-K 5 11 E-Kt 2 B-R 5 12 Kt x Kt B x Kt We prefer P x Kt.—Hotter, 13 B-K 2 P-B 4 14 Cari.les K R P-B a 15 Q-Kt 3 B-B 5 16 Q R-Q r.q Px p 17 Q xP.

36 P x P, P x P; 37 P-K E4 B-B'eq; 38 P-Ii 5, would have I'OOfi the-right course.
