The Alechino Defence was lrdericij to s ,t the Club’s meeting, and .as it is not, in the- handbooks it i.s here given tor the benefit of our chess readers: I, P-K4, KL-Klid, 2. l’-K-T Kt-(,)l. 3 P-QB4.

This led Tariakover aptly to remark that white has his initiative to defend.” li is now generally thought white can do better than rush black’s knight about as the following game between Tanaseh and Crunfeld, at Carlsbad, seems to show : J P-K I, Kt-KRd ; 2, R-Qd, P-K4 ; 3, P-KRI.
