This is in accordance with tho classical defence of the Queen's Gambit Declined. (c) Taking command of the open file. (d) A capture which creates a strong pawn centre for both players. (c) White’s game is very cramped—a Bishop all dressed up and nowhere to go. (f) Q R-Kt sq was worth considering at this stage. (g) Quito sound. (h) This simplifies the gamo for White, but it is difficult to find a more satisfactory continuation for Black. (i) This sacrifice, proved to be unsound. (j) White by this move completely removes Black’s threatened attack by the way of his weak K B sq. (k) Threatening to win the Queen. (l) An effort to get thia piece into a better fighting position. CHESS MATCH. A chess match by telegraph between the Canterbury and Otago Chess Clubs will commence this evening at 6.30. The Otago Chess Club’s team will probably include J. B, Dunlop and A. W. O. Davies. Tho match will occupy two nights for playing.
